• Start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading; use the correct driver
• Do not overtighten into plastic or thin sheet metal

The lid switch lever connects the washer's lid hinge to the lid switch, signaling when the lid is closed so the cycle can run. A damaged lever can prevent the safety interlock from closing, leading to no-start or spin issues. What it does:

• Transfers lid movement at the hinge to the lid switch actuator
• A closed lid so the washer can operate
• Common symptoms of a failed lever: washer won't start; won't spin; cycle pauses because the lid-closed signal isn't detected

• 1 lid switch lever

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Lift or open the top to access the hinge/switch area; locate the lever near the lid switch
• Remove the old lever and install the new one in the same orientation; free movement
• Close the lid by hand and the switch clicks before reassembly and testing
