The lid switch is inserted in an opening in the
cover assembly, located at the left front corner of
the lid recess. The switch is held to the underside
of the cover by a lock tab.
The lid switch is a safety feature that prevents the
washer from agitating or spinning when the lid
is open. The switch is closed by a magnet that
is attached to the lid. When the lid is shut, the
magnet will cause the switch to close the circuit,
allowing normal functions to occur. When the

spinning.

the lid lock connector will measure 0 ohms.
‡ Is open, agitation and spin will not occur, but

switch closes while still in agitation, the
washer will resume agitation.
