THANK YOU!!!! I thought my 15 year old washer had died. I found your video and fixed the problem. The lid switch was bad so I followed your instructions and my washer is now spinning out the water and finishing my load of laundry. You are awesome!!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I opened my washer and found it full of water. Your video was the second one I watched and it solved my problem. My lid has some movement in it due to being older and has some rust. After seeing how you removed the switch, I put my hand up under the lid and made sure the metal arm was slotting in where it should, and voila! It was connecting correctly. You saved me a repair bill!Thank you again.

2024 and this video helped me thank you ! Cause i need to get the laundry done

Omg!!!! Thank you so much. Just moved and set it up. Worked when I started it and came back to a full of water washer that won't run. Found your video tried it out and Viola!!!! It worked. You sir are a life saver.

Thank you so much for this .. I thought my washer was dead.. it worked like a charm!! Thanks again!

Very informative, i appreciate the straight forwardness of this presentation.

I know this vid is old but so is my washing machine! Thanks for the bypass, didn't want to scoop water out with a cup 💀

And if you don't have a volt meter, go ahead and bypass it and get the laundry done! Thank you so much for this video! I love this old washer.

Thank you. My washer was loaded when it decided not to work. My son told me that it was working/washing oddly - like when the lid was open - a couple of days ago. So when my husband was looking at machine he thought it could be the switch. I jumped on youtube so I could get help to help him. Bypassed the switch and it worked. The only thing that was hard was locating the two philip head screws since it is full with water and up against a wall. Maybe a picture of where to find those two screws would be helpful. Again, thank you. :)

Tanks bill, you are a BIG help the Lid Switch only Cost me $7.49 I Installed it my self your are the man...

I got a washer with this problem. I found that I like this type of switch because you can actually fix it. I removed the cover and cleaned the contacts that were oxidized. Contacts are very easy to remove and put back in. Putting the switch back into place, it was still not actuating. I found that the actuating arm attached to the washer's lid was not depressing the switch far enough to actuate it. So I bent the arm to hit a little lower and now the washer is working as it should.

Great step by step help for my washer problem. Thank you

Worked like a charm! Thanks, great help and advice.

Very informative video thanks. May I ask a question? My Maytag washer switch has 4 wires, red blue yellow and white how could I bypass this lid switch? Your help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance

Good video thanks! (The washer sound effects were added though, right?)

Thank you for your video! Very helpful. What is the lid switch product number for the washer in your video or where can I find it?

Thanks Bill I hate these dam switches. They never had them before. I am going to disable mine and leave it like that.

Thank you. I really appreciate how detailed and clearly explained your style is! Makes it easy for us newbies👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

To remove the selector dial (which you already have done in the video) do I just pry it out? Thanks for any help.

Thx bro

Hello great video watch Amana is this?thanks

I have a Whirlpool washer and the guy before me bypassed the washer and he cut the wires close to the plug do I have to get a new plug or the hole wire harness

thanks a lot. perfect!

I changed the lid switch it worked for maybe 10 seconds and went right back out.

So I took the cover off my Maytag A209 and found the two wires I thought I needed to connect together. This washer has individual wires that plug in. I connected them together and the washing machine started working. What I can't figure out is why it still cuts off when I lift the lid. I thought I bypassed the lid switch. I'm really puzzled.

thank you for this...

A lady told me her amana(looks just like this one in video) does everything except spin. She said she can start spin by hand. I told her to watch your videos and she said she just wanted me to fix it and doesn't wanna buy new yet. what ya think?

So do u plug it back into connector while the gray and white wire is cap together

Hi I have a Maytag centennalial model number MVWC200BW0 it won't lock the lid it does not flash red a won't spin I replace the lock but it still doing the same it will hesitate a little that it wants to move but still no locking during this process even when diagnostic mode

Okay on my Amana washer the lid lock switch when you walk up to the washing machine is right there in the front and it's saying if the lights pay and lid lock lid lock flashing and the waters for they won't let it do nothing because the the lid locks not working if opening and shutting and it won't let it spin due to that reason so do I still fix it like where you're taking yours apart at since mine opens and locks in the front they're not on the side or in the back

I've got an armana, which is made by Whirlpool. I've got blue white and red wires, any suggestions on which ones to cut?

Is there a way to make these amana washers only pump out water without spinning? The goal is to clean the outer tub, i got the inner tub out, cleaned but I am curious, if I start cleaning the outer tub, how to get the water out of it...

Hello dear i want to do a bypass on my washer but my were is Red white & Grey wish one should i cut thank you so much

I have an Amana NTW4600YQ1. The machine gets to the final spin cycle and stops. I have to press the start button and it completes the spin cycle. Would this still be the lid switch?

I know this is an old video but the sparky in me cringed is that green wire with yellow stripes the equipment grounding conductor? If so I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you can bond that green wire to the frame or chassis

Hi Bill, Which two colored wires to test for continuity? I have one with red. white, and blue wires. My switch is an Amana, W11307244, for machine NTW4635EW0, and runs around $100. If I knew the switch was the broken component, I would probably bypass the switch as you suggested.

I have an older model, 2012, or 13, this switch in the front and right side of the machine, is this the same idea?

Mine drains after wash. I come back and the rinse light is flashing. There is no water in it. But clothes are soaking wet. I manually move the knob to drain/ spin. It spins once or twice the. Shuts off. Any ideas what the problem is. I'm sure there is many reasons for this to happen. I also got the washer into troubleshooting modes. And it spins just fine.

What about the ground during the temporary use?

Bula sir...how about the solenoid lid lock switch can it also be bypass??

My wires for my lid switch in the back corner are red yellow white and blue so witch 2 wires do I put together

My washer lid switch is towards the front right corner, do I still need to remove the panel where the dials are at? I did noticed that after I load my laundry in the tub, I have to lift the cover up a little ways n let it drop for the water to start its fill. The I went to check my laundry n my clothes were somewhat soaked. I put it on drain/spin, checked it after a while n nothing was happening. I lifted the the lid a bit n dropped it, still nothing happened. So I opened the lid again n played with the lever on the switch n for a second or two, it tried to spin then stopped. The lever was very loose n it's mounted on the lid with a nut holding it in place. How could I bypass this? I looked closely, but saw no wires connected to it, though it does look like the part u mentioned we would be replacing. I've left my clothes on a basket to air out, but it's certainly wet. I'm watching ur video to prepare how to approach my issue upon returning home after duty to resolve this problem, a quick fix will suffice at this time. A pop up appeared during ur video, will this be u n if so, do u have the part I need to replace n how much? I'd greatly appreciate a response from u sooner than later n if u do sell parts, I'd gladly tell my friends n family where to buy all their washer parts online. Here is my email Jorgendahouse@gmail.com. Ur video, step-by-step instructions are easy to follow n comprehend. Thanks for sharing ur knowledge with us, u spoke slowly on "how to" n I got confidence to try to help myself. GOD Bless U! Hope to hear from U soon!

Hey man how would I do it if there are six wires? Blue yellow black and gray.

I have three wires red blue white wires witch ones to clip

can i use a crow bar to open the lid

I have a red white & blue. Its amana?

Mine won’t spin because the lid won’t lock any suggestions? My lid lock is in the front of my Amana

what if the wire harness itself looks burnt?

Why didn't you connect the ground (green) wire?

Hello, I am having problems with my whirlpool 10 years old washing machine. It fills, it agitates, it drains, but it won't spin. I have flipped it on the front, checked the coupler, it spins the shaft; check the clutch, it feels hard to the spinning by hand; could it be the lid switch? I checked on the multimeter, on the ohms it doesn't read anything. I am kind of confused, I thought if it was a bad lid switch the machine wouldn't drain, but mine does... what are your thoughts, please?

I did this but my washer washes and don't spin why??

I'm getting a .4 with the lid closed when I open it it goes to one is the switch bad?

I have 4 wires on mine red white blue yellow which ones do I bypass

Pressure switch and lid switch replaced. Still not working. What’s next. TIA

Why did you cut the customers wire harness? A simple wire jumper between the black and white pins on the plug would have done the same without cutting the wire harness

what if you have white, black, green, brown, blue, and red?

But my wires are red, white, & blue. Which two do I twist together?

No. It has white, blue and red wire and the switch is in the front.

U fix the led lock now my washer won't work it ant coming on

yeah - you can bypass if there are only two or three wires -- lol... how about when there are 8 wires coming into the plug? which wires to cut and connect - don't think you can, because the switch itself, sends electricity to other parts and switches in the machine -

Out dated in info. My control panel is in back with a control board

What if the wires are red white and blue

a paperclip would work alot better than cutting the wires. Cant believe what i just seen!!!

This is out dated. I have a control board in the back.

It's really stupid to have cut the wires off the switch. A simple wire between the two to make a test would have been enough. How many people did not replace the switch after your video?
