Do-It-Yourself Story

After reviewing other stories I saw that one or both of the switches in the lid switch assembly could be at fault. I didn't think it was the lid switch itself because the washer should fill even if the lid was open. Lid switch assembly seemed like a low risk solution to try so I ordered the part and received it within two days. Repair was straightforward, but delayed somewhat because I couldn't figure out how to release the console from the top of the washer after removing back back panel, even after spending some time checking some online videos of similar, but not exactly the same, units. Finally figured out I that had to push the plastic sides forward with more force than I had tried previously. That did the trick and I had easy access to the part and connecting wires.
