Washer would not do anything. Stopped in the middle of a load of wash.I noticed a few times that I had to open and reclose the lid to get it to start, so I thought it was the lip switch.
Looked at other peoples instructions and did the same, but I had 5 screws not 2. 3 needed wrenches and 2 needed a screw driver. I'm a 67 year old woman I I did it . It was easy!

Remove 2 screws behind end panels, also use nut driver to remove 2 screws hold plastic retraining straps . Lift control panel out of the way . Open lid, lid switch is on back left side of lid . Disconnect ground wire and squeeze back side of clip on lid switch . Tilt froward carefully and remove . Reverse proces and gather up dirty clothes and you are ready to wash. Takes less than 15mins and saves you a ton of cash . It's really that simple.

Lid switch had overheated and was fused to wiring harness
REmoved lid switch fist and replaced it. Then replaced the wiring harness one plug at a time following the original exactly . Too bad we could not find any instructions for replacing the wiring harness.Do not remove the entire wiring harness and then try to replace it---you'll be sorry.

Water would fill but washer would not start
Unplugged the washer , removed 2 Phillips head screws behind the control panel at the corners. Next I removed 2 5/16" head screws for the console straps. Next I removed the screw for the switch ground strap. Next lift the lid about 3 inches and the part slips right out. Installation in reverse order. Took longer to type out these directions than it did to do the job.

10 minutes and it works like new
My washing machine quit advancing through a wash cycle unless the lid was opened and closed between every advanvement of the wash cycle. I called Fix.com and was told that based on prior customers there was a 70% chance it was the lid switch. I felt those odds were high enough to try the least expensive solution, and got the lid switch. The part arrived 4 days later and the washer is working great!
5 start solution.
