• Typical symptoms of failure: washer won't start or won't spin, stops mid-cycle, or runs only when pressing down on the lid
• Mechanical position sensor; it does not lock the lid

• Disconnect power before servicing; verify the tub is fully stopped
• Access is typically from the main top or cabinet—remove screws or release spring clips as designed
• Note wire routing and mounting orientation; transfer any existing hardware and secure the ground as originally installed
• Test lid-close operation before reassembling and running a cycle
