wash light flashing. when lid closes water runs for a few seconds then

A couple of sequences. In scene 1, washer fills and agitator starts. Washer drains then wash light flashes and washer stops. Scene 2 (after Cancel button pressed) -->> Washer stops filling and washer light flashes. Doesn’t even get to agitation. Hiwever, when lid closes water runs briefly then stops filling. That repeats every time lid closes. Brief fill then a click and stops filling and wash light flashes again. Have unplugged for 5' and same thing happens. Any ideas?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Sears put out a lot of different washers under the 110 series. It will give us a much better chance of finding the right answer if we know your particular model number.

Thanks for the response.

MN is  110 series 22352511

Update on symptoms:

With no clothes added, washer goes as far as filling the draining in the wash cycle.  At that point the wash light starts to flash.  Washer starts to fill then quits and a "clicking" sound is heard.  Guessing that is the solenoid activated lid switch.  If the switch is closed (as when closing the lid though I did this manually also) the water spurts in for maybe a second then stops.

Opening and closing the lid produces this response (brief spurt of water)

I can hit the "Cancel" button and the washer light goes solid but starts blinking again after the brief spurts of water.

I hope this is helpful....

Standing by for more!

Hi @douglaspdolstad

Here's the tech sheet for the washer that may help.

Run the washer in diagnostic test mode as shown on p.2 of the sheet and check what error codes are being displayed.

The Fault/Error Code Display Method table on p.3 shows how to interpret the panel lights to work out what the error code is.

The error code description and possible causes start on p.6
