Is your washing machine not turning on? Not going into the spin cycle? It's possible that your washer has a bad lid switch. This free troubleshooting video shows step-by-step instructions on replacing the lid switch assembly on top loading direct drive washing machines. We carry this part for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Sears, Roper, KitchenAid, Estate, Maytag, and Inglis washers.

Tools Needed: flathead screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, hex socket, pliers, and a putty knife

If the lid switch assembly is defective, your washer can't spin and may not function at all. The lid switch assembly is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washer to get to the lid switch assembly. If it's defective, you need to replace it. To determine if the lid switch assembly has failed, watch the part testing video located at the bottom of the lid switch assembly part page:

Some washing machines have a special lid-switch fuse near the lid switch, inside the control panel. If this fuse blows, the washer won't fill with water until you replace the fuse.
