Frigidaire 134936800 Lid Lock Switch OEM Part

1) Ordered part. 2) Removed front panel by loosening the two screws at the bottom front. 3) Removed old Safety Switch/Lid Lock by disconnecting wires (plug and 2 female disconnects) 4) Reconnected all wires and reinstalled switch. 5) Replaced front panel. 6) Tested Unit. 7) FYI - I found that the locking mechanism stays locked until cycle completely finishes on its own. DO NOT force the cycle to end. Lid will NOT unlock.

The repair was simple once I figured out how the top panel unfastened from the machine. No need to remove the control panel as it can remain attached to the top panel. Removing the switch itself required no tools and only a couple of wires to be unplugged. Just be sure to label the connections to ensure proper reassembly. Easy DIY fix for someone interested in doing their own repair.

New lid latch/lock was still not seeing proper voltage on drain pump. Drain pump would run fine with 120 Volt jumpers. Turns out the neutral wire from the drain pump had rubbed and shorted out. A little wire stripping and a wire nut made everything work. New switch is smoother than than the old one at least.

Ordered new switch came very quickly, replaced it in less than 10 min

Replaced the lid lock after taking 2 screws off the front panel. Two of the wire connect ores came off old part real easy but third was very stubborn. Overall not too hard to replace and the washer works again.
