Kerry May 27, 2011 for Model Number LSQ9560PW4 How can you tell if the Lid switch is not working/broken?

Luisa M. May 17, 2011 for Model Number taws750pq0 I recently replaced my lid switch but now the washer stops in mid cycle. I noticed the part that goes into the lid switch is partially burnt out. I would like to replace the part that inserts into the lid switch but am not sure which part that would be. If I do obtain the part, is it wise to splice the new part onto the old set of wires?
1 Answer Hello Luisa. If the molex plug that plugs into the lid switch is burnt, you will need to replace the wiring harness 3956952. They do not recommend splicing the wires to do the repair. You will need to change the harness. Hope this helps. Read More...

Guest March 21, 2011 for Model Number RTW4440VQ Just purchased this washer and it is set to only fill half way for water use in accordance with the 2011 EPA standards. Can I change out the control with an older one? This is a replica of my 1989 era washer.
