FAQs

This lid switch is designed for Whirlpool and Kenmore Thin Twin washing machines. It serves as a direct replacement for part numbers WP3355458, 3355458, WP3355548VP, PS11741198, and AP2946951.
If your washer fails to fill, agitate, or spin, the lid switch is often the culprit. Since this switch acts as a safety mechanism to detect when the lid is closed, a faulty unit will prevent the machine from completing its cycle, even if the timer is advancing.
Replacing the lid switch is a straightforward repair that typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. You will generally need a putty knife to release the spring clips under the top console and a screwdriver to remove the mounting screws. Always disconnect the power and water supply before beginning the installation.
Lid switches are mechanical components subject to constant physical wear from the repeated opening and closing of the washer lid. Over time, the internal contacts can become worn, corroded, or misaligned, preventing the electrical signal from reaching the motor or water valve.
While you have the console open, it is a good idea to inspect the lid hinge and the plastic actuator arm that triggers the switch. If the actuator arm is broken or the hinge is loose, the new switch may not be engaged properly even if it is functioning correctly.
