How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6005728 / WP207166 Lid Check Switch

Your online schematics were a big help. You had the new lid and check switch in stock, got it shipped to me mid-week and replaced with no trouble and we are back in service. Please. Let folks know that a new check switch is supplied within the lid switch assembly part! Saved a bunch of money over a service call! 

Replaced the lid check switch. 

Ordered and installed Lid Check Switch. Fixed the problem! 

Simple remove the three electrical connections making a note of each colour and it's position on the microswitch. Remove the single retaining screw and remove the switch. Fit the new switch and secure, refit the electrical connections. Job done. Machine works like new with plenty of browny points from the wife. 

Replaced lid switch. YouTube videos helped me diagnose problem. AppliancePartsPros had the part! 

Unplug the machine to protect yourself and the fuse. Just one small phillips screw and the switch can be removed. Swap the wires to the new switch, re-secure it and it's done. Literally a 2 min. job. Note: If the machine fills but still won't cycle adjust the assembly by loosening it (one small hex head screw) slide the assembly forward and then backward until you hear 2 clicks. One heavy click and another lighter click, and tighten the assembly. I was told by a Maytag repair man that the machine will fill without the switch, which is the same as out of adjustment, but will not run through the cycles. This is why the assembly adjustment is important. This is the only part I have ever replaced on my 28 year old machine. Gotta Love it. 

Replaced the lid check switch. The repair took all of 15 min the machine is back up and operating fine. 

I had to remove two screws to swing the front panel down. Found the lid switch held by one screw and three wires. Pulled off the 3 wires and screw, removed switch. Watched repair video on how to test the switch was easy to follow, the switch was bad so I replaced it. To replace just did steps in reverse. Washer working fine again. 

There was a part on the mechine that was supposed to click to tell mechine to go into next cycle but kept getting stuck we ordered the part put it in and mechine and it worked nicely 

Looked on laptop searched my brand and model your site came up had diagnoses with video was very helpful my lid switch was bad got in a day and half would recommend
