Manuel December 23, 2013 for Model Number mavt754eww Is there a video on How to remove the cover & install a lid switch part #22003804? Your help is greatly appreciated.
1 Answer Manuel, Unfortunately we do not have a video that pertains to your design of model. To access the lid switch for your unit you will want to remove the 3 screws at the top of the control panel and roll the panel forward. This will expose the lid switch to be able to be changed out.

Henry February 23, 2013 for Model Number Maytag Mod MAV6650AWW How do I access the bottom of the lid switch in the Model MAV6650AWW washer? I removed the back cover but I can't see how the switch comes out.
1 Answer Hello Henry, You will need to lift the main top of the unit to take lid switch off. To do this you will use a flat blade screw driver on either side between main top and front panel. There is a spring clup on either side that you would have to push in on to release. Read More...
Dave C November 28, 2012 for Model Number maytag atlantis washer Please can you point me to the part that fits to the lid that is a lever to push the lid switch.
1 Answer Hello Rick, The way that you would test the lid switch on this unit is to check continuity between L1 (line) and SW (machine). You should have contact between these 2 points whether the lid is open or closed. You also check between L1 and M (motor). With lid open you should not have continuity and with lid closed you would have continuity. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
David August 22, 2012 for Model Number MAVT634AWW When running the normal cycle, the spin cycle will not engage. The timer knob advances, but the spin cycle will not start. I am having to wash/rinse on the normal cycle, but spin on the gentle cycle. Does this sound as if I have a faulty timer?
1 Answer Hello David. Test for power from timer to the motor. If no power, replace the timer. If there is power, replace the motor. This is a 2 speed motor and can fail on the high speed and work on the slow speed. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Wynell W. June 07, 2012 for Model Number mav8551aww My washer will not start when I close the lid but if I push a toothpick into the slot under the lid it starts. I need to know what parts I need to repair this. Do I need the whole lid switch or just parts to repair the switch? Thank you for your help. Sincerly, Wynell
1 Answer Hello Wynell. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the lid switch WP22003804 is bad on the unit and will need to be replaced. Check and make sure the plunger WP22002754 is good on the unit. If not, you will need to replace it as well. Read More...
Lou March 09, 2012 for Model Number Maytag top load washer Mod# MAV6200AWW On start up, my washer stopped working with the tub 3/4 of the way full, the timer stayed in position. I rotated the timer to various positions with no results..... Can this be a sign of a defective timer...I checked the lid switch and it seems to be ok.
1 Answer Hello Lou. It could be the timer, but I still would lean towards the lid switch WP22003804 or the pressure switch 22002706. Be aware that this type lid switch does give a lot of trouble and if it is an adjustable design, the plunger part of the switch itself may need to just be pulled out 1/8 of an inch or so. If the problem happened right after the lid was dropped, this adjustment might be all you need. I hope this helps you and have a great day! Read More...
Mohd March 04, 2012 I changed water drain pump and still water will not drain after extra spin from tub.
1 Answer Hello Mohd. Check and make sure the belt WP22003483 is good on the unit and the hoses WP22003285 are not clogged on the unit. If the hoses are clogged, you will need to replace the hoses or clear them out. Hope this helps. Read More...
Bahman December 06, 2011 for Model Number MAV7600AWW My washer is does not start or do anything. I want to confirm it is not the lid switch. How can I bypass the lid switch with jumper wire. The switch has Black,white,red and yellow wires. Thank you
1 Answer Bahman, You should run a resistance check, for safety reasons. But, if the lid is down, and you jump from the blk wire,L1 to the yellow wire M, with a jumper the motor should run momentarily. If you put the timer dial in the final spin/drain and pull out the knob, if the motor does not start/run, you have a bad lid switch,. Be careful, this is a live voltage test, you don't want to short any components or yourself. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
Bob June 24, 2011 for Model Number Maytag Atlantis model MAV72571AWW How do I do a good ohms test on the lid switch to make sure that is is bad?
1 Answer Hello Bob. The two terminals next to the plunger should read closed with the lid closed. If they are open, the switch is bad. Also the terminal next to the plunger and the third terminal should read closed with the lid closed. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
