Customer Questions and Answers for Lid Switch Kit by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18024225
Manufacturer Part Number: WP3355806

The Lid Switch Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part is responsible for detecting whether the washing machine lid is closed. If the switch senses the lid is open, it prevents the washer from starting or continuing a cycle, thereby protecting users from potential injury caused by the spinning agitator or drum. 

Causes of a bad Lid Switch Kit can range from physical damage, such as breaking or cracking due to heavy use or accidental impact, to electrical issues like wiring problems or failures in the switch mechanism itself. 

Symptoms of a bad Lid Switch Kit include:

  • The washing machine not starting when the lid is closed. 
  • The washer halting mid-cycle when the lid is not opened.
  • No agitation or spinning action in the washer 

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore mode

Answer

Hello Jeff, The lid switch WP3355806 is probably coming apart, since this is a common problem with this style of lid switch. To make the switch last longer, do not use it to turn off the machine, (use the timer knob to turn it off if you want to check on the load or add a garment), and try not to drop the lid but lower it gently.
