Can you give me directions to replace my lid switch? I have the control panel open.
Sandy for Model Number Kenmore Heavy Duty 70 Series Extra Capacity Washer
Answer Hello Sandy. Once the control panel is open, you will need to unplug the lid switch connector and release the two brass colored clips. Then pull the cabinet forward and slide the cabinet off the frame. You wll now be able to remove the screws holding the lid switch in place, and replace the lid switch. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
Washer filled up, washed but not will drain and spin. Tub is full of water.
If the problem is a lid switch, is it too difficult to install it?

Answer Hello Leonid. These are not to hard to install. You will need to unplug the washer. Then remove the two end cap covers by unsnapping them off the control panel. Once removed, you will need to remove the screws holding the control panel in place. Then pull forward on the control panel and flip the control panel backward to access the lid switch connection and the clips for the cabinet. Unplug the lid switch connection. There are two gold colored clips the will need to be removed by unsnapping them from the cabinet. Then the cabinet will pull off the frame to install the lid switch. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
Will not spin and drain with the lid down.

Answer Hello Jon! Make sure the lid is aligned properly and the strike is activating the switch. If all is well, you can check the lid switch 285671. You should hear a clicking noise when the lid is being closed, this will help determine if the switch it bad or not. Hope this helps!
