I need some advice. I have a wonderful RCA whirlpool imperial 90 super wash and it suddenly won't
Drain, spin or rinse. The belts not broken the pump is running I can hear it. I was told to change out the lid switch but it doesn't have the kind of switch I'm used to seeing. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Non Draining WP Washer

I am assuming that your washer is a pre-1967 WP belt drive machine if it actually says RCA on its control panel, a model # is always helpful. If the motor is running and the belt is moving it is NOT a bad lid switch or timer, it could be a bad water pump or a blocked Self-cleaning lint filter, drain protector, or side check valve. If the machine has been moved make sure that the drain hose is not kinked. Good Luck let us know what you find.
