The Lid Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. It is an electronic component located within the washer lid that functions to detect when the lid is opened or closed. The lid switch communicates this information to the control unit to allow or pause the operation of the washer accordingly.

Causes of a bad lid switch can include wear and tear of sensitive electrical contacts over time, exposure to moisture or debris that disrupts connections, or accidental physical damage to the switch mechanism.

Symptoms of a bad lid switch include:

• The washer fails to start or run when the lid is closed   
• Inability to pause the cycle when the lid is opened
• Fault codes or error messages related to lid position detection

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
