How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6008880 / WP3949238 Lid Switch Assembly

First I was able to by-pass the switch by jumping the wires, thanks to the video online. Then when I got the switch the video made installation a breeze. Saved some dough and let my daughter see more about how the machine works! 

With the help of a very professional repair video by Appliance Parts Pros, I was able to easily identify my problem and replace the lid switch. The oem part was more expensive than switches being offered by others, but after reading the bad reviews of people who bought the cheaper switches, I decided on this company. Works like a charm. Thanks Appliance Parts Pros! Part received within a couple of days without paying expedited shipping. David, Corvallis, Oregon

Thanks to your online info, I determined that it needed a new lid switch. Your compatibility checker alerted me that the "highlighted" switch wasn't correct for my washer and put me onto the right one. Then I followed your step-by-step repair video.
