Whirlpool 285671 Lid Switch Assembly OEM Part

I replaced the lid switch using the parts I purchased from applianceparts.com. The control panel had to be removed first and then the cabinet.

Ordered a lid switch assembly for my Whirlpool clothes washer. The repair was simple. This is the second time I ordered parts from this company. The previous repair required a direct drive coupler and agitator parts. They have a simple search feature. By submitting the make and model, parts are listed by category. They have all the parts you will need.

It was the micro switch for the lid. Checked the model number for the washer, looked up the parts diagram, selected the part. Placed the order and it arrived about 2 1/2 days later. I watched the video and followed their instructions. It took less time to dissemble the washer, change the part then reassemble then it took to clean up the washer area. Works like a champ now.

I ordered the lid switch assembly and lid strike,I watched the repair video several times(put it in my "favorites" on my computer so i could re-watch it if need be),wrote down the steps to the repair and waited for my parts to arrive.The parts arrived promptly,the 1 year return policy is awesome!! I procrastinated for a week but, finally did the repair yesterday afternoon.My repair went EXACTLY as the video showed!! I had a little trouble getting the cover off but, the parts were an exact replacement as the originals.I put the machine back together and so far it is working like the day we bought it 15 years ago! I will use Appliance Parts Pro for all my future needs!

With the help of the videos.... really made it easy and much better than the book----(which Shawn also got for me, and I can refer to if I cant access "Matt" on the video)....took all of 15 minutes once I had everything ready as the video said...and it worked just like he said Yea!!!! He made it so simple, my cat could've done it if she had hands...
