Removed the top console and disconnected the wire harness to the Lid switch. Tilt the washer body back and lifted off the frame. Removed the lid switch and harness and re-installed the new lead. I was working in a tight, confined area and this made the repair difficult and lenghty. I suggest moving the washer to an open area before removing the washer body (cabinet) as it is easier to move when the unit is in one piece and unassembled. This would reduce my labor time to about 30 - 45 minutes. The new part was of excellent quality, fit perfectly and was fairly priced. Shipping time was very prompt as the part was in stock. I will definitely use PartSelect in the future.
