Hot Point Washer HTWP1400F0WW Won't start or doesn't start

The Lid Switch Assembly with Wire Harness is an OEM part for GE washing machines. This assembly is crucial for the safe and effective operation of the washer, as it detects whether the lid is closed and allows the machine to operate only when the lid is securely shut. It also helps to control the washer's functions during the spin and agitation cycles.

Causes of a bad lid switch assembly can include regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or physical damage due to forceful closing of the lid. A faulty lid switch can prevent the washer from operating properly or stop it mid-cycle.

Symptoms of a bad lid switch assembly include:

• The washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• The machine not spinning or agitating
• Error codes related to lid or door issues
• The washer filling with water but not proceeding to the wash cycle

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

• The knob not engaging with the machine's settings, leading to difficulty in selecting wash cycles.
