Debbie April 25, 2022 for Model Number LAT5960AAW My washer kid switch sticks, when I open the lid and shut it again sometimes it will not start and I have to flick the lid switch with my fingernail to get it to pop out and work. Is the lid switch assembly the only part I need to correct that issue? I notice there is also a door switch that comes up when I search parts, what is that for?
1 Answer Debbie, You will want to replace the lid switch W10820036 and it would be best to replace the lid check switch WP207166 because they usually fail at the same time. Read More...
Mike May 04, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore Dryer 110-96586200 My door switch actuator broke off but is still usable as a small piece of metal still works the insides to tell the dryer the door is shut. The part I need I think the door switch part#3397503 is no longer made. Can I just replace the door switch actuator part WP691581? Most online videos I have seen shows the entire switch replaced, but not only the metal actuator. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Mike, yes, replace the actuator WP691581, or if you want the door switch /actuator kit which is still available it is W10820036. Read More...
Ron January 13, 2020 for Model Number LA7000XTW0 The washer timer runs to the end of the cycle, but the tub has not completed the final pump out of the water and the spin cycle. If we reset the timer to end of the wash cycle, the tub then pumps and spins to complete the cycle. Is this the lid switch as noted on several recommendations?
Jeff December 29, 2017 for Model Number 110.81950100 Door switch for Kenmore washer. Part Number W10820036. Is AP5985146 the correct part? Asking because I ordered Whirlpool 279347 Washer Door Switch Kit on Amazon and there was no part information printed on it except NC, NO, and Com. No part info on it and an Instruction sheet for 279347 Switch Kit.Does your part AP5985146 have any writing on it for identification? More than NC, NO, and Com? What does Instruction sheet say for which part? Thank You
1 Answer Hello Jeff, W10820036 is the correct part number for the door switch on the model provided. The switch does not say anything other than the contact information as you stated above. The part does come with an instruction sheet as provided by the manufacturer which can send to you if requested in a new question that includes a valid e-mail address to which we can send it. This switch is used on multiple models to include washers and dryers and this instruction sheet explains how the part is installed in each. Read More...
Peggy Johnson August 03, 2017 for Model Number washer Kenmore 80 Series (oldie) I have the replacement part LP210, I have two wires, red and gray. Which wire goes to the common terminal, and which one goes to the normal open terminal? thank you.
Greg March 21, 2016 for Model Number LAT9205AAE I have the Maytag LAT9205AAE, it starts to spin and drain then it just stops. After a min or 2 it will start and then stop again what do I do now.
1 Answer Greg, You're pretty close to target, Check and make sure the lid and hinge balls aren't damaged or worn, etc. There should be very little to no movement in the lid when it is raised open half way or more. When you open the lid, if it is adjusted and operating properly, you should hear the switch "click" when the lid reaches 3/4 to 1 inch open, and the same "click" when the lid is lowered to the same 3/4 to 1 inch. You didn't mention any noises or delays to restart the washer, so it doesn't sound like a motor or voltage problem. Of course make sure there's nothing stuck near the top of the spin tub and tub cover, the washer is level or a "touch" higher in the front to keep from having off balanced loads. Read More...

Serena November 11, 2014 for Model Number 66902690 The lid switch went on my dryer. I bought the replacement part # 279347 (that part # replaced the original part # 3392266). When I got the new part # 279347 but the metal connections to the new part are smaller than what they need to connect to on the dryer. Do I need to rewire to get this new part in?
1 Answer Serena, The new door switch comes with 2 terminal connectors. You will want to cut the old connector off and install the new connectors onto the wires in order to use this switch. Read More...
Ronwm November 03, 2014 for Model Number LER7848DZ1 My Whirlpool electric dryer will only run if I'm pulling on the timer knob. While it's running the drum will spin, heat will build up and it appears to operate normally. But I have to be pulling on the timer knob for the dryer to be running. If I let go then it will just shut off. I can then press the start button again, pull on the timer knob and it starts running again. But when I let go of the timer knob it shuts right off. I've tested the fuse, but it still shuts down in the same fashion when the fuse is bypassed. I'm assuming that replacing the timber will fix the issue, but was hoping to get your input first. Thanks.
2 Answers Hello Ronwm. Yes, it sounds like the timer is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
