Whirlpool W10814230 Refrigerator Door Closing Cam OEM Part

I replaced the switch, the plunger, plunger guide and the lid cam, but the cam still didn't turn on the switch. Turned out someone had stood on the washer and bent the lid slightly, not enough to notice, but since I had ruled out just about everything else I started looking at the lid itself. I ended up bending it back close to it's original shape and now it works fine. I guess I learned a few things about washing machines though. One lesson is when you pull off the controls, the hose leading to the pressure sensor can come off which can lead to the water not turning off during the fill, and your basement gets totally flooded. Arggg!

Replaced lid switch, plunger and lid cam actuator. Watched video online, replacement was a piece of cake. Parts arrived for washer, which was Maytag Atlantis, matched perfectly with old parts. Slid washer away from wall, unplugged washer, removed rear cover from control panel. Unplugged wiring at connector, snapped old part out, new part snapped right in. Reconnect wires, and worked perfectly. Wife impressed.

Installed new cam, replaced plunger and guide tube. Still didn't engage the switch. Then I noticed the lid was dented and bent downward. I punched it back into shape and everything lined up perfectly. Works like a charm.

After internet research I determined it was the lid switch. I watched a few YouTube videos on how to DIY & and it seemed easy enough so I ordered the part, it arrived 3 days later and had it repaired in under 15 minutes. It was awesome! Thank you!

Replaced lid safety switch, actuator and plunger.
