• Commonly replaced when the lid won't latch, the washer won't start, or the lid rubs against the cabinet.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service.
• Access and replacement typically require removing or opening the washer top or access panel; use basic hand tools.
• Align the striker with the lid lock mechanism and secure fasteners snugly; verify smooth engagement before final reassembly.
• If the mating lid lock assembly is damaged or worn, replace the lock and striker as needed for reliable operation.

This lid switch actuator engages the washer's safety switch when the lid is closed so cycles can start and spin as designed. Replace a broken or missing actuator to restore proper lid switch engagement and reliable operation.
