Easy repair extends life of my old washer
First, my washer is about 30 years old so parts are not exactly abundant. Never has needed a repair before so I was very reluctant to replace it especially after reading review on new machines. So glad I was able to find a place with the part I needed. Saved me from purchasing a new washer! The lid switch was easy to install after watching the video and reading other reviews. Took less than an hour. Hardest part was lining up the front portion of the washer after the install. Price was reasonable and shipping was fast!!

Washer would not start, when started wouldn't stay running.
I found the problem when I leaned on the lid while it started and that pressure kept it running. By placing detergent bottles on the right side of the lid I was able to walk away. I then bought the lid switch and lid strike after seeing it is a common problem. I watched the video and followed it almost step by step. First I unplugged the washer but didn't unhook the hose (only because I didn't have to move the washer) then I unscrewed the two screws holding the control panel, flipped it over, unplugged the lid switch connector, removed the clips holding the washer body on and tilted the body far enough forward to work on it. I replaced the switch as was done in the video and put the washer back together opposite the way I took it apart.

lid switch failure
Pretty much like shown in the video tutorial however I didn't disconnect the water hoses. I unplugged the machine and pulled it forward 6 inches. Took it apart like in the video but because of space restrictions I took the cabinet into another room to replace the switch and then re-assembled. The hardest part was getting the cabinet to re-seat as before. It took several attempts but it's all done and the machine is working like a champ. I listed a magnet because I use them to keep the nuts and screws from getting lost

Washer wouldn't drain due to broken lid switch.
I followed the linked instruction video, un-hooking the power plug and water supplies, unhooking the control panel and front of the washer (tilting it forward) then removed the original lid switch. I then discovered that the lid switch plug had been revised since our washer was built and wouldn't fit the washer coupling. I then improvised by removing the new plug and splicing on the original plug to the new lid switch wiring (making sure to have the wiring match up). The washer now works perfectly.

Washer would turn on, but washer would stop on rinse and spin cycle.
Unplug the power. Unscrewed 2 screws on the backside of the console to removed the cabinet. Removed the 2 clips that releases the back panel from the cabinet. Disconnect the harness. Instead of removing the cabinet i just moved the washer drum around. Was plenty of room to work with. Next I removed the 2 screws that secured the lid switch to the cabinet. Moved the drum to use a wrench to unscrew the screw that holds the ground wire in place. Moved the drum to the back and used my fingers to find the clips holding the wire to the cabinet. Re-installed the new lid switch.

The washer would fill with water and wash,but would not drain and spinn out .
Followed direction that was sent to my e-mail. My washer timer would not advance. I' am so happy for the directions sent to me from this site and being able to get the part that I, needed from this site. I, didn't have and business doing the job myself, because I'm a ill 66 year old female. There's no special instructions that I, have to add. !! Thanks !! Lewis

washer stopped during a cycle when I lifted the lid to add another article to the wash.
I first checked to see what the likely problem was. I watched (several times) a video demonstrating how to replace the part. Figuring I could do it myself, I ordered the part. When it arrived, a friend joined me and we followed the video step-by-step. That's how we fixed the washer.

No spin cycle or drain
First I unplugged the washer. siphoned out old water. I then took the decorative plates off from the top sides, with a flat head screwdriver. Removed the (2) Phillips head screws from the head, and tilted the head back. After removing the two clips from the top of the washer (near the head) with a flat head screw driver. I then pulled the body of the washer out. Tilting it back and laying it on the floor I removed the clips (Flat head) and the ground wire 5/16 socket. I then reversed, following the process step for step, putting the new switch in and putting the washer back together. Plugged it in, ran a empty small load (no clothes) with Clorox to clean tub.

Washer quit mid cycle. It would not spin.
I watched your video on how to replace the lid switch. It was right on step by step. Better than the video on youtube. Just follow the instructions on the video.

Lid switch quit working. Had to push on lid to finish wash cycle.
Your video was instrumental in making this an easy job. Only hang-up we had was having to rewatch the video to see how those curly clamps went on the top. Love that you offer the repair videos!
