    Washing machine making noise, not aggitate or spin.
    Kenmore washer fills with water and drains. Then will not spin- makes vibrating noise like trying to start. Water flow is good so I stopped water from going in washer. Hold up lid and hold down lid switch and get noise. No aggitate and no spin. Is it a bad relay, switch, or ?
