Whirlpool WP3355458 Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Lid Switch Assembly

The Top Load Washer Lid Switch Assembly detects whether the washer lid is open or closed and prevents the appliance from spinning or agitating if the lid isn’t securely fastened. If your washer fails to initiate the cleaning cycle, it is possible that the current lid switch is damaged and requires replacement. This easy-to-install assembly includes (1) lid switch with actuator and wire harness, (2) zip ties, and installation instructions. Installing this high-quality part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, as well as some disassembly of the washing machine and novice repair experience. Before installing this replacement part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the hot and cold water supplies.

Helpful TIP: We recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
