Easy to replace.
It was easier than expected. I never fixed a washer machine before. I look in You Tube just in case and I was able to figure out the part that was broken. Everything else was easy. Thank you guys.

As I expected
Worked perfectly once I got it in. That was the hard part since my Washer Dryer Combo was a little older than most. Since I put it in, it's working just fine.

Washer wouldn't spin - remove the lid
So, my washer wouldn't spin and I was relatively certain it was the lid switch - but accessing the lid switch wasn't completely straightforward. Most of the online videos show to take the front off - that's *not* how to do it on my model. Needed to take the top off the washer. Here's how:

First, you need access to the back of the washer, so if you have an open space, start there. If it's confined like mine, take the sheet metal off the slanted portion between the washer and the dryer by removing the two screws near the top and pulling the metal out front. That gives you access to the back where you need it.

If you haven't already shut off your power to your washer at your circuit breaker, go do that. If you can't do that, unplug the washer now.

Just behind the washer lid, in back, are two socket screws (aimed down). Those hold the hinges for the lid on. Remove those screws (careful not to drop them!) and pull them out front - if you can pull the metal from the hinges out front, that's good too because they might fall out otherwise and you need to retrieve them. With this done, you can push the lid toward the back, which will undo the plastic clips on the front that hold the lid up front.

From here, slooooowly lift the lid in the front - you'll see the lid switch is fortunately the only thing connecting the lid to the main body of the washer. Again, make sure the power is off to the washer, then unclip the electrical connection (I think it's a kind of molex connector?) that connects the lid switch to the rest of the power. Now you can remove the lid to another location to disconnect the switch. Remove two screws on the right hand side inside the normal lid area that hold the switch in place, then remove the screw that connect the ground wire to the back of the inside of the lid. Put in the new switch, which will snap into place and then you can attach the screws for it and the ground wire. You can pull the clips that hold the main electrical open to slide the new cable in by gently pushing under them with a flathead screwdriver.

Do everything else above in reverse, and you've replaced the lid switch!

Broken lid switch (old part worked, but plastic casing broke and screws couldn't hold it in place anymore)
The removal and installation were self-explanatory once the part was in hand. Because the unit is in a laundry closet off the bathroom, space was limited and we had to be creative. Hence, my son's Handy Manny tool set, Turner to be exact, was perfect for holding the ground wire bolt in place from behind the dryer lid so that we could loosen the nut on the inside of the dryer lid. Of course, when I went to put the nut back on the bolt after putting the new ground wire in place, I dropped the nut in the dryer. That's when our son's Harvey the train (a Thomas the Tank engine character) came in handy. My long arms and its magnet were just the thing to get the nut out of the abyss at the bottom of the washer cabinet.
