This OEM Replacement Part is a Lid Switch Assembly designed for use on many Whirlpool washing machines. The lid switch ensures that the washing machine lid is securely shut before allowing the machine to start or agitate. It helps contribute to safe and efficient operation. The assembly has a harness connector featuring 2 round pins and 1 D-shaped pin. This switch communicates to the washer when it's safe to proceed to the next cycle, such as agitate or spin. If the washer fails to spin, it may indicate that the lid switch needs replacement. The removal and installation process requires lifting the control panel. Then remove the cabinet to access the lid switch. Unplug the lid switch connector, and release two brass-colored clips. The new switch is then installed by securing it with screws and reassembling the unit in reverse order.This part fixes the following symptomsWon't start
