When to Replace

• Washer Fails to Spin: The machine fills and agitates but stops completely when it should enter the spin phase.
• No Operation: The washer will not fill or start any cycle because it does not detect that the lid is closed.
• Broken Lever: The plastic actuator arm on the switch is physically snapped or bent.
• Visible Damage: The electrical plug shows signs of burning, melting, or corrosion at the contact points.
• Intermittent Stopping: The machine pauses or cuts out mid-cycle if the lid is vibrated or bumped.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before attempting to access the internal components.
• Accessing the Switch: This repair requires removing the washer cabinet or tilting the console forward to access the mounting screws under the top panel.
• Grounding Wire: Ensure the green grounding wire is securely fastened to the metal frame during installation to prevent electrical issues.
• Lever Alignment: Verify that the lid pin correctly strikes the switch lever when the lid is closed before reassembling the cabinet.
• Wire Harness: Use care when disconnecting the old harness to avoid damaging the plastic plug housing on the machine's side.
