How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP3094500 / 285671 Lid Switch Assembly

Replaced the lid switch. The replacement only took about 15 minutes but cleaning below and inside the washer also took about 15 minutes. 

Look up parts on whirlpool washer machine and watch videos on how to change parts 

Replaced the lid switch. 

Replaced the lid switch. 

Replaced the lid switch following directions found on various web sites. I had little room to maneuver. No room in the back or sides to move the machine. 2 screws for the control assembly and the 2 large clips came out easily. I tilted the top and attached body to about 45 degrees forward and gained access to the switch. Took about 20 minutes to work out the logistics for getting the large main side and cover moved just because of my situation. The switch took about 10 minutes mainly because of the two small spring clips holding the switch wires were doing their job!. 

I havent actually installed yet,,,but, what I would say was impressive, was the shipping time. Next day shipping. If I hadn't known any better, I would have guessed the warehouse was right down the street from me, for the speed of delivery. Thanks!! 

It was easy to change the switch.I used your video appliancepartspros.com The only thing was the video does not have to remove the water hoses. 

Ordered the top lid switch from you guys that came before I knew it! Also came with some simple basic directions and was a snap to fix. I have done other repairs on both this washer and my matching old dryer over the past few years and they just keep on going. I will again call on you for any of my appliance needs. It saved me a bunch of money by fixing many simple repairs myself, and you guys certainly helped me with that this time as well. And thanks for having the parts for my older stuff and making my purchase a breeze. Prompt shipping too... 

Ordered part and installed. Works fine. 

Extremely helpful person on the phone steered me to the part picture and how- to video. I'm 82 and had never attempted a comparable repair. She even clarified how shipping would work over Thanksgiving. Kept the help video up on my computer and played it several times to understand the process. Look carefully though: the springs to reattach the console to the body look OK if you start backwards! One complaint: new screws to install new Lid Switch were NOT included. Glad I save the old ones and that size is not easy for me to find.
