Joseph P Indialantic , FL October 25, 2016 Appliance: Whirlpool Laundry Center LTE5243DQ3 A broken lid switch on my whirlpool stackable twin washer Fixing the problem was quite simple. First, I removed the lid assembly (thanks to the diagrams supplied by AppliancePartsPros.com!). Getting the back two screws out was very difficult because I couldn't see them from the front and I could not move the unit out of the enclosed space. After some trial and error, I located the screws which were 5/16 hex head screws and removed them with a MAGNETIC nut driver. (The magnet assures that the screw will not drop down into the mechanism). Second, I unplugged the switch from the harness connector, inscribed the switch, and unscrewed the ground wire. Third, I removed the old rusted clips from the assembly and the switch came right out. Repacing with the supplied new switch was just the opposite of the above removal process.
