The Lid Switch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes the lid switch and all necessary components for installation. The lid switch ensures that the washing machine operates only when the lid is securely closed, acting as a safety mechanism to prevent accidents.
Over time, the lid switch can fail due to repeated use, exposure to moisture, or accidental damage. Electrical issues can also affect its functionality, making it necessary to replace the switch to restore proper operation.
Symptoms of a bad lid switch include:
- The washing machine not starting or stopping mid-cycle
- The drum not spinning or agitating
- The lid not locking properly during operation
- Error codes related to lid issues
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
