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

Control transformer that provides stable low-voltage power to the washer's control and user interface, ensuring reliable electrical signaling so cycles start and the machine operates correctly. What it does:

• Restores power to displays, timers, and electronic controls when the transformer has failed.
• Common symptom: machine is dead, display is blank, or cycles won't start.
• Can cause intermittent power or control glitches before full failure.

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock—follow lockout/tagout if required.
• Compare part number and mounting style to the original before installation.
• Handle terminals and wiring carefully; secure all connections and mounting hardware.

The outlet housing is the molded duct that channels flow out of its assembly and provides a sealed handoff to the next hose or duct. Replacing a cracked or warped housing restores proper sealing, flow, and overall performance. What it does:

• Directs flow from the component to the outlet path
• Maintains a sealed connection to adjoining ducting/hoses to prevent leaks
• Helps preserve proper flow/pressure for efficient operation
• Damage can cause leaks, reduced flow, longer cycles, or unusual noise

• 1 outlet housing

• Disconnect power; if your model uses a water supply, shut it off before servicing
• Refer to your model's diagram for fastener locations and orientation; take photos during disassembly
• Inspect and reinstall/replace any model-specific gaskets, O-rings, or clamps to ensure a proper seal
• After reassembly, run a test cycle to check for leaks or vibrations
