Issue fixed by cleaning off old grease in assembly, re-greasing the slider and bending the lever slightly.
There were some slight variations in the new part. Possibly due to upgrades by the manufacturer.
While waiting for the new part to arrive, I cleaned the old part of it’s dried grease, re-lubricated it with Lubriplate and bent the metal lever slightly to increase tension on the plunger and micro switch. That fixed it so now I have a spare if the old part should fail again. Shipping can be rather slow.

Lid switch is fixed, plunger broke
The part came fast, and was installed after some trouble with the plunger, which broke. I just re-used the old one and now everything is back to normal operation. I would definitely buy from here again.

Worked as expected!
Very easy installation and worked as soon as I plugged the washer back in! Cheaper and easier than calling a repair man or buying a new washer!

Washer quit working after partially filling with water
I found the mostly likely parts to fix my problem on the website... that washer would not start, stating the lid switch assembly fixed the problem 66% of the time. I used an ohmmeter to test the switch and could not find any continuity. Replacing the switch took less than 5 minutes. Easy.

Washer started/then stopped and wouldn't start again
Took the back plate off, popped the old lid switch out and the new one in. Very easy. No problems, saved $100 buck at least doing it myself.

slammed lid and broke lid switch
it took a little longer to fix the lid switch becasue the you have to figure out how to install the switch after you takethe old one out. The old one popped out but the new one needs some twisting and pressure. It also is an ackward position to work in on the back of the washer front the front. I think the instructions could have been muc

the device that indicates the lid is open/closed malfunctioned due to a forceful slam
After removing defective part and replacing it with the new part, no thanks to skimpy instructions that came with it. We discovered that it wasn't the lid switch assembly but, the hinges and washers? and the little plastic piece that pushes the plunger so we had to order those. Surprised they didnt' come today. The first order came almost

I checked the lid switch and it works. I replaced the washer lid cam; however, when the lid is closed the lid cam doesn't reach the plunger to push it back and activate the lid switch.
For model number MAV6451AGW
Hi David, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the hinges to make sure there is no visible damage that would prevent the lid from closing down flush keeping the cam from reaching the plunger. You can also open up the top to see if all the screws in the bracket holding the plunger and guide tube in the proper placement. Hope this helps!

How replace lid switch
For model number MAV7200AWW
Hello Carlos and thanks for writing.
Replace the lid switch assembly. Unplug washer. The console on this washer can be removed without sliding the washer from the wall. Just lean over the drum. Three Phillips screws along the top, two machine screws removable using a small socket. Move the console forward to view the lid switch in the middle. Disconnect switch plug. Pop lid switch and plunger out. (Both part of lid switch assembly.) Replace. Connect the plug to switch. (Could plug the washer in and test at this point. Unplug.) Reassemble. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
