Washer Switch

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. 

This lid switch assembly detects when the washer lid is closed and lets the machine start and complete cycles. Replacing a failed switch restores the washer's safety interlock and helps resolve start/spin problems. What it does:

• Detects lid closure to enable motor and spin cycles
• Prevents the washer from starting or spinning when the lid is open
• Common replacement for washers that won't start, won't spin, or stop mid-cycle
• Completes the electrical safety/interlock circuit for proper operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access may require removing the top or rear access panel; keep track of fasteners and wire locations
• Disconnect wiring harness and replace the switch assembly; ensure secure mounting and correct connector seating

This tub displacement switch monitors water level/pressure to help the washer detect tub fill and balance, reducing overfill and load sensing errors. It replaces a worn or faulty unit to restore reliable fill and balance sensing. What it does:

• Senses tub water displacement/pressure changes so the washer can detect correct fill and load balance
• Helps prevent overfilling and supports proper spin cycles by reporting tub condition to the control
• Commonly replaced when washer overfills, won't start spin, or shows erratic fill behavior

• Disconnect power before accessing internal components to avoid shock
• Mounts to the washer chassis with electrical connector and vacuum/pressure hose; reuse existing hose if undamaged
• Verify hose and fittings are intact and free of blockages before installation

This Smart ATC temperature switch senses and helps regulate oven temperature for more consistent cooking. It replaces a failed switch to restore correct temperature feedback to the range control for accurate heating. What it does:

• Detects oven temperature and sends a signal to the control so heating elements cycle appropriately
• Helps correct issues where the oven runs too hot, too cold, or cycles erratically
• Works as part of the temperature control system—does not include the main control board
• Replaces a worn or failed temperature/A.T.C. sensor switch to restore proper temperature sensing

• One temperature switch (Smart ATC)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the oven control panel or back panel; keep track of screws and wire connections
• Handle the switch and connector gently to avoid damage; verify wiring matches original before reconnecting

This pressure switch senses pressure changes and signals the appliance control to start or stop functions, helping restore proper operation when pressure-based controls fail. It's a direct-replacement style switch used in compatible Frigidaire appliances. What it does:

• Detects and closes or opens an electrical circuit based on air or water pressure changes
• Signals the control board to advance cycles or enable components (pump, valve, blower)
• Common symptom indicator: appliance won't complete cycles or responds inconsistently when pressure-controlled
• Helps stop operation when pressure limits are reached to protect system components

• One pressure switch

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting work
• Handle the switch and its terminals with care; avoid bending pins or cracking the housing
• Inspect and replace any associated tubing or fittings that are cracked or clogged

This compressor start relay helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the appliance can cool properly. It replaces a failed relay to restore normal compressor startup and reduce hard-start symptoms. What it does:

• Supplies the compressor's start winding with a timed boost to initiate motor start
• Helps prevent repeated clicking or humming when the compressor struggles to start
• Commonly used when the refrigerator is warm, not cooling, or the compressor does not run
• Works with the compressor start circuit as a replacement electrical relay

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the compressor or electrical components
• Replace the relay on the compressor terminal block; ensure firm, correct terminal seating
• Inspect the compressor and start capacitor for related faults while servicing

This pushbutton switch restores a single button on the appliance control panel so you can reliably send selection or command inputs to the control board. It replaces a worn, stuck or non-responsive panel button. What it does

• Acts as the user-facing pushbutton that completes the control input circuit when pressed
• Sends selection/command signals to the appliance control board or timer
• Common symptom fixer: button that won't register presses or responds intermittently
• Also used when a button is physically stuck, loose, or missing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service to avoid shock
• Access typically requires removing the control panel or overlay—retain screws and trim
• Verify connector orientation and seating; do not force connectors or terminals

This water level switch detects the washer's water height and signals the control to start and stop filling, helping maintain proper wash cycles and prevent overfilling. What it does:

• Senses water level via a pressure hose and tells the control when to stop filling.
• Can cause continuous filling, overfilling, or failure to advance cycles when faulty.
• Works with the washer's control board and pressure hose to regulate fill actions.
• Intermittent or no fill/no water level detection are common symptoms of failure.

• Disconnect power and water supply before beginning any repair.
• Carefully detach the pressure hose from the switch; replace with correct routing to avoid kinks.
• Inspect and replace a cracked or clogged pressure hose when present; verify hose connection is airtight.
• Test switch continuity with a multimeter per service instructions; refer to the service manual for wiring and diagnostic steps.

This rotary oven selector switch controls oven functions and temperature selection so the range operates reliably and you can choose the correct cooking mode. Designed to replace a worn or non-working selector control. What it does:

• Selects oven mode (bake, broil, etc.) and communicates the chosen setting to the control system
• Restores responsive control when the selector is stiff, intermittent, or fails to click into positions
• Helps eliminate incorrect oven operation or inability to change cooking modes
• Works as the user-facing control for oven function selection on compatible ranges

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing the control panel or console; handle glass and trim pieces carefully
• Verify alignment and detents before reassembling to ensure proper function

This cycle selector switch lets the user choose wash or dry cycles by turning the control dial. It restores reliable cycle selection and responsive dial behavior so the machine starts the intended program. What it does:

• Selects the appliance cycle position when the control knob is turned
• Sends the chosen cycle signal to the timer/control assembly
• Commonly replaced when the dial slips, feels loose, or won't advance between cycle positions
• Helps resolve issues where the machine won't start the selected cycle or changes settings unexpectedly

• Disconnect power (and water if a washer) before servicing
• Access typically requires removing the control console or panel; follow your model service manual
• Avoid bending terminals; match connector orientation during reassembly
