This switch malfunctioned when two months old....I fiddled with it and got it to work...then. We had already ordered a warranty repair.....but when the repairman came he brought the wrong switch......
Two years later same problem.....It was going to be a month for repair...so I decided to fix it myself.
Ordered the part for $86....watched the video on You tube.....easy...right. Not so fast.
To release the top of the washer...putty knife here, and there...wahlah.....nothing. Internet advise...."Not pushing on the knife...hard enough."
I could see several male/female clips holding top.....against all the advise....I took a couple of screws out of the back...and pushed hard on top.....that was it....male/female clips cleared the top to open.
The rest was fairly easy.
My sweet wife didn't say thanks.....she reminded me that I chips those two areas where the putty knife didn't work.
Good luck....
