It sounds like a lid switch to me. i just don't know what a Kirkland signature
machine is like, but all machines have some kind of switch to make it turn on
And when they go out your machine will not drain. Go to YouTube and see if
they have that type and they will show you how to fix it step by step. It's free
On almost all washing machines it is attached immediately below the centre of the tub. It will be easily recognisable by the thick hose going to the back of the machine.
You can drain it directly into a drain pipe. Just make sure the the top of the drain pipe is even with the top of the washing machine. If not, the water from the washing machine will drain all of the time. There is no valve in the machine to stop the water from draining. The washing machine drains using a pump motor.
No.
Draining refers to water falling due to gravity so you can't technically drain a washing machine to an overhead drain. However, washing machines don't really drain. The water is pumped out and up and can therefore be discharged to a drain that is slightly higher than the washing machine itself
yes
No, stand pipe for washing machine is meant only for washing machine. Tie sink into drain line that washing machine stand pipe is tied into. 2" minimum drain line should be what you tie into. Sink drain line use 1 1/2".
......before, but I would not recommend direct drain. The washing machine hose must extend up above the flood rim of the washing machine before entering the drain. If not, there is a possibility of sewage backing up into your washing machine.
