Description

This lid switch housing secures and protects the washer's lid switch assembly so the machine can detect the lid position reliably. It replaces a cracked or broken housing to restore proper switch alignment and protection. What it does:

• Holds the lid switch assembly in the correct position for reliable lid detection.
• Shields the switch from impacts and debris that can cause intermittent failures.
• Common symptom: washer won't start, won't spin, or shows lid-lock-related errors when the housing is damaged.
• Restores consistent electrical/mechanical engagement between the lid and switch when installed correctly.

What's included: One lid switch housing. Install notes:

• Unplug the appliance before beginning any service to avoid shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically needed; follow the OEM diagram for correct removal and reassembly.
• Inspect the lid switch and wiring while replacing the housing; replace any damaged components.
