Wow did this video save me who knows how much $ in a service call. I ordered the latch part on Amazon, about $30.00, followed Steve's instructions exactly and ......gotter done. My wife was so impressed that I did it my self and saved us probably $150.00 or more in labor, that she offered me a special treat tonight. Wink Wink! And I'm 69.

This was absolutely perfect in every way…great angles, great speed-not too fast nor too slow, great explanations. I just successfully switched mine out using THIS video (after researching seemingly a thousand others) and I am THRILLED. Thank you so much!!

Thank you sir for making this video. I was stuck trying to get the latch off, but you explained it like a pro. The latch came right off and the new one was on in minutes. My washer is running again. Thanks.

Our washer wouldn't operate because the lid lock would not activate. Before we KNEW what the problem was, we were fearing a replacement cost of at least $900. Then when we understood what the problem was, we were looking at a repair bill of $250. After watching this VERY HELPFUL, simple to understand video, we were able to buy the part and repair our washer within 40 minutes. All for only about $40! THANK YOU!!!

@Alenochka1974 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for your help! After our repairman diagnosed the problem, I paid him $120 for it, he wanted $340 more for this part and the labor. I said, “no, thank you!” I bought the part for $60 on the internet and free labor, thanks to your amazing video! Yay!!!

Mine's door got locked and I couldn't do anything until I watched this video, this video helped to understand where it was supplying the voltage singnal, so I altered the stage it was: 1 - I disconnected the cable. 2 - touched start boton it change the signal, I was measuring. 3- put it back, powered cycle and started to work.

Hello; GREAT video! I really appreciate you guys, you are GREAT! Many "Thank you"s for all the good videos & the great help you provide. I think that helping people fix their appliances AND sell the parts is a brilliant idea. I wish you guys all the best & hope your business is successful. It would have cost me an arm & a leg to have paid for the part & the labor. I'm on disability so I can't really afford to pay the outrageous prices repairmen demand. Thank you for all you do. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

Thank you so much for uploading this video and explaining this remove/install process so thoroughly. I was wondering if in order to avoid the new lid lock assembly being in locked position and preventing the lid from closing, can we inspect and tell if the new one is in locked position and can we unlock it before the install? Thanks again for your help.

My replacement lid lock came locked. How would I unlock it? I've tried holding down the power button and it does nothing for me but tell me the lid is locked (without the top strike being latched)

Can you jump this switch out?

@DaleFraga-yy9rs Жыл бұрын

Can the spring inside the switch get weak on one end.

@partselect Жыл бұрын

It is possible that the spring could fail , most times you find a plastic pin or lever broken inside, usually if the lid was dropped into the close position as well as normal wear and tear over the years

Help Steve! Replaced the Lid Lock Switch, but door will not close. Lid Locked light is flashing. When I apply the popsicle stick, the light stays on steady, but then pushing the Start button doesn't help. Lid still will not go down. BTW, in the video, you perform that popsicle trick , then you plug in the Switch connector? I would think it must be connected to get the stick trick to work? What to try next?
