LTG5243DQB Whirlpool Washer Dryer Combo - Instructions

The washer dryer combo would not advance to the drain and spin phase.
I first replaced the timer, but that did not solve the problem (same lack of drain and spin). I then ordered a lid switch and a drain pump. Installing the timer had been pretty easy, but it was much more difficult to get to the lid switch and the pump. Once the lid switch and pump were installed, the washing machine worked perfectly again. I don't know for sure, but I think it was the lid switch that was the problem, because when we removed it, we found it to be cracked, so the pump was probably not needing to be replaced. Considering I purchased too many parts, this was not inexpensive, but if I'd called a repair service, they would have charged me for the diagnosis and then told me that it would cost too much to be worth repairing. I'm a happy customer!

No Heat
I suspected a faulty igniter and disconnected the cable to the igniter and measured the resistance of the igniter and found it to be 70 ohms then I checked the voltage at the same cable towards the power source and found it to be 25 volts ac which should be 120 volts ac. Next I checked the radiant flame sensor and found it to be open (it should be a closed circuit when cold). I removed the flame sensor (with the power off) using a small box wrench and found a broken lead. Replacing the flame sensor solved the problem.

Spider coupling between motor and transmission broken
Followed the video on the website. I removed the hoses from the pump rather than removing the pump as suggested in the video. Then separated the motor from the transmission and replaced the coupling; then reattached the motor and hoses. Lining up the washer cover and clamping it back on was the most trouble. But all in all, a easy repair.

No heat
Took everything apart, replaced the igniter flint, and still didn't get heat. Then found out the thermal sensor wasn't running a electrical current through it with voltmeter and just replaced that, now it we have heat again!

Water Pump was leaking
The water pump had a small leak when washing clothes, and my wife was nagging me about it. I know men, youwere shocked that I said nagging and wife in the same sentence. Me being a man, I would have just left it since it is in the laundry room in the carport.
I turned the washer on its side and felt where the leak was on the pump, went inside and ordered the new pump. It was here in 2 days and it took 15 mins to put it back on with only a screwdriver to snap off the retainers and pliers to undo two hoses.
I told my woman that it was fixed and we have lived happily ever after and we played Appliance Repair Man and I was paid very well for the "House Call" if you know what I mean!!!!!
