Customer Repair Stories
The lid switch which signals that the washer door is closed malfunctioned. Even with the lid closed the washer would not spin because the washer was detecting the lid as open because of the faulty switch
of wire which had to be installed. The installation of the wiring harness was extremely complicated which involved popping off the control panel of the washer, prying up the top and disconnecting some other pieces to complete the install. There should have been a clear warning on the replacement part, that it was completely different and likely too difficult for a non-professional repair man.

This lid lock striker is sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in top-load washing machines. It is a white, plastic component located on the underside of the washing machine lid. When the lid is closed, the lid lock striker engages with the lid lock assembly. This ensures that the lid remains securely closed while the washer is in operation, preventing the lid from being opened accidentally and potentially causing safety hazards. The lid lock striker is an important safety features that helps to prevent injury or damage while the washer is running. If the striker is broken or no longer functioning, the door will be unable to stay shut, and the washer may not start or may it stop running mid cycle.

Don’t do this, but we prop the washer lid open so it doesn’t get musty between use; we put a sock or something in there to prevent the striker fro closing. When a family member hops up on the washer to get to the highest shelf in the laundry closet it snaps! And the. The washer won’t function.
Just unscrewed the two screws with a Phillips, slid the old one out, the new one set in perfectly, and used the same screws to hold it in place. 2 minute task total.
