The Whirlpool lid switch kit is an OEM replacement part responsible for ensuring the safety and proper operation of the washing machine. Located beneath the top panel or lid of the washing machine, this part consists of a plunger and switch mechanism that detects whether the lid is securely closed during the washing and spinning cycles. When the lid is open, the switch interrupts power to the washing machine's motor, preventing it from running. This safety feature prevents accidents and injuries by ensuring that the washing machine cannot operate with the lid open. This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.This part fixes the following symptomsWill not fill with waterWon't start
