The Lid Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines that is responsible for detecting whether the washing machine lid is closed before allowing the machine to start or continue a cycle. By preventing the washer from operating with an open lid, this switch helps to avoid potential spills or accidents, making it an essential safety feature. The lid switch is activated by the closing of the machine's lid, engaging the washing cycle only when secure closure is detected.
Symptoms of a failing Lid Switch include:
- The washing machine not starting or completing a cycle
- The washer not spinning or draining
- The appliance operating only when the lid is pressed down manually
Causes of a bad Lid Switch can range from mechanical wear and tear to accidental damage, such as slamming the lid too hard or frequently, which can misalign or damage the switch mechanism. Additionally, corrosion caused by moisture or detergent residue can also impair the switch's function.
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
This part fixes the following symptoms
-
Won't start

Our washing machine filled then began washing the wife opened the lid to add one more item and it would no longer wash or spin Chris J. • Lakeland , FL • January 02, 2018

I drained the tub through a siphon hose to lighten the machine, so I could slide it away from the wall to better see. Couldn't see the switch anywhere and decided it must be hiding in the raised console, but was unsure of how to attack it without...
