For Whirlpool Washer Lid Switch Assembly (Part Number: OEM17951247)

Sue for Model Number 3950298

I have a 2003 whirpool top loading washing machine. The lid switch is broken but when I google the #3950298 they show a switch with only one earthing wire. My machine has two. One inside cabinet and one on top to the back by switch. I have been told to piggyback it? with a terminal block. Please advise what they mean and if this AP3100003 switch is the one for my machine. Also how much to post to Currumundi Australia 4551. Thanking you in anticipation

Hello Sue! Our part number that matches your OEM # 3950298 is WP3950298. If you would like to post your model number we will be glad to verify this matches your unit. At this time, we are not capable of shipping to Australia, we would need a US physical address. Thank you.

Hello Bernie! 3357978 seems to be the rear control panel part number. We are not locating any information from the numbers given. There should be a tag with a model and a serial number both listed on it. With this being a top loader try looking under the lid, not on the lid, but under the lid where the lid meets the hinges. There should be a small tag there with this information. Thanks.

Bernie, this does not seem to be the correct model number. Lid switch 3949247V does fit some Roper models, however, we will need the correct model number to verify this matches your unit. There will be a tag on the appliance with a model and a serial number both listed. Here is our model/serial number location tool to help better find the model needed. Hope that helps!
