Purchase and replaced the lid switch. Easy to do on my Whirlpool LTE 5243DQ2 stacked washer/dryer combo. Only need access to back of machine to remove 2 small bolts, then remove 2 screws from front panel (at top of panel). This allows for removal of top of washing machine. 2 small screws hold the lid switch in place and are easily accessible. Only tools needed were a 1/4 drive socket set and a Phillips screwdriver. Took about 20 minutes, from start to finish to repair washer and it works fine now. .
