Product Description

The lid switch is a part of the washing machine that is found mounted to the underside of the cabinet top panel. This genuine OEM part is also known as a washer lid switch, a lid switch assembly, or a lid switch assembly with leads. The purpose of this switch is to inform the washer when the lid is closed, so that it can start the wash cycle. If the switch is not functioning properly, it can result in the washer not starting, it not advancing through the cycles, the tub not draining, or it pumping but not spinning. The plastic can become brittle with time, so aggressive movements like slamming the washer lid, or the vibrating of an unbalanced load, can cause the lid switch to break. If you are experiencing these problems, you can use a multimeter to check the lid switch for continuity.
