Sharon L Upland , CA October 27, 2018 Appliance: Maytag Atlantis Washer MAV5000AWW Maytag Washer Mav5000aww: Lid switch failed. How to replace Washer Lid Switch Kit. Purchased the replacement part from AppliancePartsPros. After the part was received we reviewed the online repair video from their website and made the repair ourselves. It was easy, just a few tools were needed and it took about 10 minutes in all to complete the repair. This saved us the cost of a home visit from an appliance repairman and waiting half a day for the repairman to arrive. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
