The Lid Switch is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This part prevents the washer from operating when the lid is open. When the lid is closed, the switch activates, allowing the washing machine to proceed with the wash cycle.

Causes of a bad lid switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage due to accidental impacts, or electrical failures such as short circuits or corrosion.

Symptoms of a bad lid switch include:

• The washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• The machine not draining or spinning
• Error codes related to the lid being detected as open
• The lid not locking or unlocking properly

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
