How do I access the bottom of the lid switch in the Model MAV6650AWW washer? I removed the back cover but I can't see how the switch comes out.

Answer Hello Henry,
You will need to lift the main top of the unit to take lid switch off. To do this you will use a flat blade screw driver on either side between main top and front panel. There is a spring clup on either side that you would have to push in on to release.
Washer will not spin?

Answer Hello Rick,
The way that you would test the lid switch on this unit is to check continuity between L1 (line) and SW (machine). You should have contact between these 2 points whether the lid is open or closed. You also check between L1 and M (motor). With lid open you should not have continuity and with lid closed you would have continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
