While doing a small load of white shirts this morning, my 806 went thru the prewash, soak and wash periods. It went thru the first spin(with spray rinse), and filled for the rinse. Then nothing!
Could I have used too much soap and casued the motor to overheat? When I took off the front panel, the motor was very HOT. I imagine that when it cools down, it will start again. What are you thoughts as to why the machine shut down?

if the motor did overheat and shut off due to overload,the belt could be the wrong type or faulty. | ||

If you bypassed the lid switch by joining the 2 wires together, then the lid switch is not the problem. How did you bypass the lid switch? | ||

Agua Any chance there's an issue with water supply and it's just waiting for water? No dreaded no flood hose? | ||

To rule out the motor, what you can do is remove both front panels from the 806 and 712, and place them directly in front of each other. Hook up the wires from the start switch of the 806 wiring harness to the 712's motor start switch and advance the timer on the 806 to spin. If the motor works on the 712, the motor/start switch in the 806 is bad.

If the switch was bypassed, does that part above have anythi
The lid switch is multi functional. When you open the lid it shuts off the machine for safety. It also acts as a "out of balance" switch. When the tub sways too far it will trip the same switch and shut off the machine. It's like a "kill" switch. Sometimes you have to grab the agitator and move the tub around and re-center it for the switch to reset. You also have to open and close the lid for the lid switch to reset. The little white button should be moving in and out and click like your other machines. If it is NOT (you say it does not click)something is wrong or broken about this switch. Sometimes the white plastic will crack and break. It seems obvious that this switch is at least part of the problem. Make sure you unplug the machine when working with this switch so you don't get zapped! Hopefully you will be able to just re-center the tub to get it clicking again.

Mr. Gadget was correct!
This machine was acquired with the lid switch failed in the "ON" /operate position. Apparently it had failed again randomly right after the machine had filled for the deep rinse, but it had failed in the "OFF" / stop position. I had only previously bypassed the tub lamp to work and be "on" constantly, as long as the fluorescent control-panel illumination lamp was "on". I was able to electrically bypass the lid switch, which resolved all issues. NO CHARGIE! LOL | ||
