Hi Adam this is Eva. I am a disabled 61 year old trying to save as much money as I can living alone. I had the same washer and ordered the same part. I was able to get it done. It took two days though. I will not cuss but that ground wire screw was a aaaaaa pain. At least I know now that I will struggle with it again some day. You are my hero. It took me long because I needed a 5/16 socket and ratchet. I had to wait until my brother in law could get my father's for me. But job is done and now to get back to clean clothes. Thank You so much for the help.
I just did my repair this morning and it didn't take long at all. I didn't use the adjustable wrench. I used a 8mm socket wrench and it worked great. This video is very helpful for all DIY people like myself. Thank you so much for this repair video. I'll keep your videos in mind the next time I need to fix something.
I think you just saved me over $100!! This was really helpful, my husband and I are going to order the part shortly! Thanks for being so clear and concise, excellent video!
Tried to figure this out myself, glad there are guys like this who take the time to make a video for people like me who have never been into appliance repair... worked great, thanks Adam
This video helped me with looking and assessing what was wrong with my washer. The lid switch had come apart into two pieces and was no longer able to be activated. Took the switch out, put it back together, reinstalled, boom fixed. Thanks a lot!
Thanks! This worked for me. Mine was an old Kenmore (made by Whirlpool). Only had to remove 2 screws on the lower front panel to to lift it up and disconnect the wiring harness. Most difficult part was getting the ground screw off---used the wrench as you suggested but hard to work it when you can't see it!! Now the spinning stops when you lift the lid. Back in business 👍 👍.
After watching your video 2x's, and receiving the part, I just finished the installation on our triplex's Roper coin op machine. On the old switch was a small piece of steel shielding. I was delighted that this little piece indeed snapped onto the new
Thank you so much 0:030:03 Adam-I struggled with the procedure a little bit different than your washer..I had to remove some plastic covers before I could see the screws... there were a couple of times when things weren't really working but I persevered and I'm very very grateful to you for making this video. People can generally do more than they think they can but they lack confidence-😂😂
Thanks. Used your video as a guide and the washer is up and running again. Tip for others is to use a 8mm gearwrench on the ground screw to make it less difficult.
My AMANA goes through the second to last function it does do the final spin. The lid switch seems fine. The girl who sold it to my said it's just a programming problem. After my 100th reprogramming effort it still does complete the final spin so I must pull out the heavy wet feather filled duvet. I have the duvet hanging on my door. In a day or 2 itll be dry enough to put in my dryer. I put a small load of cloths 1 hour ago and reprogrammed it yet again ( heavy, normal rince) and just waiting to see if that worked. I'm not hopeful! I had it unplugged to factory reset my washer.
Your video really helped me out today, thanks!! You explained it well and the fix went smooth. The only thing I did differently, was spliced the ground wire. I cut the old ground wire and spliced on the new ground wire with a crimp cap. Then I zip tied the ground wire it to the gray wire sheath to keep in in place. Thanks again.
Thanks! This helped a single woman be able to fix her roper washer lid switch herself! ☺ It was a bit of work trying to get the grounding wire unhooked, but easier than when I replaced the water pump. So happy I did not need to move my washer out to get to the back screws....that was what I thought was going to be my biggest challenge. No moving!!! YAY!! Thanks so much!! (This saved me a bunch of $$$!)
my switch just went out. I removed the old switch but didn;t know how to access the plug in end. Your video helped me. Thanks friend for the directions.
Thank you for doing a video on this. I was washing my daughter's bed sheets this morning and the washer was running fine at first but then started making a hard banging noise and after my husband tried to fix it the noise got even louder and then he looked at it and it stopped working. I went to check it and it had rinsed the clothes but water got trapped in a mattress cover that was in there and it got caught under the agitator and was wrapped around it a bit so I dumped the water out and then tried to start it on the rinse cycle again to get the water to drain from the bottom of the washer and it wouldn't work and the lid wouldn't click when I closed it. I think this video would be very helpful as we have the exact same washer and dryer that was recorded in this video. I will say that in the description below the part you ordered is a number off from what you showed you were going to buy in the video. It got me confused but I am going to buy the part you suggested in the video. Thanks again!
I needed one for a year or two ... But that is when My Hillbilly Side came into activation😆😆😆But NOW I Am In REAL TROUBLE!!! Thanks A LOT for making this Vid, Buddy!!! You are a life saver!!!
Thanks again! I did this 2 years ago and today I had to replace the "new" part again. At least it took 1/2 the time today, and I didn't drop the ground screw this time!
Thanks for saving me from tearing apart my timer to clean the contacts, I double checked and the lid wasn't clicking but shoving a screwdriver in the slot moved the switch far enough to make it click (and let me finish this load lol). Double checking the part # when the load finishes and ordering a $19 switch that can be here tomorrow instead of what would've been a $250 used timer on ebay that would take 2 weeks ☺ Thanks again!
I gave up on the ground screw and attached the ground wire to the back panel, hoping that this is just as safe -- I mean, it's part of the same steel cabinet -- right?
I'm going to suggest (which the creator can't), but if you've gone this far, you can go ahead and just snip off the plug for the switch and hard-wire it together and work with a disabled lid-switch. It saves $4 on a generic part and up to $40 for some of the older genuine factory parts, plus it saves a load of time.
thanks for the video helped me get the part out BUT I removed the two clips at the back on the top and the whole can moves away from the washer to access the parts.
Also just pop the big gold clips that are visible once you pop up your control center. Very easy with a screw driver just pry them up . The whole cover will just pivot down or come off. I did this on my kenmore with help of your video. 👍
Did it! I watched one video that recommended disconnecting hoses, pulling machine out, and removing the cabinet. I decided to try your way first, and even the grounding screw was not as bad as I'd feared it would be, although it was threaded opposite to the righty-tighty/lefty-loosey mantra. Thank you.
Rather than squeezing underneath and working with little space you can slide the top metal plate off by unclipping it on the rear left (the brass clip). Super easy.
Hi, that was very helpful. The thing is I have one of those appartment size dual standing machine. Dryer above, washer below. That's the lid switch that needs to be replaced... A Worldpool model. Can you do a demo for those of us having this problem. Thanks, appreciate you.
Nice job, not an easy task. I had trouble with the ground so I cut the new one and the original and soldered them together and applied some heat shrink tape. I still need to get to the clips. Glad I could do this somewhat competently, now my girl thinks I'm her hero again! Haha!

I fixed my washer with your instructions. I kept my phone handy to review as I went along. You saved me $400-800 thank you!

PERFECT video!! To-the-point, no nonsense, exactly and only the information I needed.
THANK YOU SIR!!!
I love your video editing! Thanks for making this so clear and concise! Well done - very helpful!

Man thank you so much for this, I'm a new homeowner and figured I should try fixing my washer myself just so I know it's done. This helped a bunch!

Thank you for the video, The new switch cost $5,99 and I replaced it today. Washer works great now.

Followed your directions and got my washing machine working again. Thanks for uploading this video!
Thanks for explaining step by step how to repair the lid switch. Excellent video.
Thanks to this video I was able to find the right lid switch and replace it. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for this video!! I was able to replace my lid switch myself with the help of this video!! :)

Thank you so much for making this video. I needed this exactly since my washers lid switch broke and was not 100% sure how to replace.
God bless.
Your video was very informative. I just fixed my washer using your video. Thanks!
Thanks. Used your video as a guide and the washer is up and running again. Tip for others is to use a 8mm gearwrench on the ground screw to make it less difficult.
Excellent video on the likely cause, as well as the repair to the 'no spin / no drain' problem.
Thank you very much! I watched several videos before fixing my washer, but yours are the best. My washer is working well now. Thanks, again.

Mine does everything except the last, final spin!
Adam, your video helped me save money. Thank you!
Thank you you save us 800 bucks! we got the lid switch for only 8.99! My husband was very patient and he was able to do it! thanks a lot!
Your video really helped me out today, thanks!! You explained it well and the fix went smooth. The only thing I did differently, was spliced the ground wire. I cut the old ground wire and spliced on the new ground wire with a crimp cap. Then I zip tied the ground wire it to the gray wire sheath to keep in in place. Thanks again.
Smart!
Thanks. You save me quite a bit of guesswork. Easy fix.
Great job, thanks, greetings from Mexico.
Great video helped me troubleshoot and fix the problem which was the broken switch!
Thank you a whole lot. You have been of tremendous help. Keep up the great work!

Single woman or man...doesn't matter. It's a pain having a spouse ask you every 10 seconds "is it fixed yet?"
Girls go tech! 🙂
Thank you! Saved me a lot of time and money!
Just a perfect explanation!!! Congrats.
my switch just went out. I removed the old switch but didn;t know how to access the plug in end. Your video helped me. Thanks friend for the directions.
Thank you very much. Appreciate the info. & def. appreciate your concern of safety & the safety of others.
Thanks for the instruction. Replacement went very smooth. The ground screw was a PITA, but other than that it was a piece of cake.

Excellent video. Thank you. You gave me what I needed for a clean replacement.
Worked for me, thank you so much. Awesome video and explanation.
I needed one for a year or two ... But that is when My Hillbilly Side came into activation😆😆😆But NOW I Am In REAL TROUBLE!!! Thanks A LOT for making this Vid, Buddy!!! You are a life saver!!!

This is the best on how to replace a Lid Switch
Thanks for the video! that's exactly the repair I need to do.
Thank so much for making this video!!! You saved us so much money!
Thank you for the video very appreciated saved a lot of money not having it done by a commercial labor love UA-cam

Thanks, did the trick for me but I had to route the tie wrap 90 degrees ... still worked.
Thanks again! I did this 2 years ago and today I had to replace the "new" part again. At least it took 1/2 the time today, and I didn't drop the ground screw this time!

Man thank you so much!!!!! This was really helpful.
Excellent easy fix great video -Only thing different I used a small ratchet to take out that little ground screw . Thanks a bunch!
I gave up on the ground screw and attached the ground wire to the back panel, hoping that this is just as safe -- I mean, it's part of the same steel cabinet -- right?

Yes
Which wires do you had wire together? There's 3
Thx bro. Your video saved me couple a hundred..🙏
Thanks! Got the old switch out and new one ordered
Thanks for the video I will use as a guide to replace mine
thanks for the video helped me get the part out BUT I removed the two clips at the back on the top and the whole can moves away from the washer to access the parts.
Good job ! Thank you.
Thank you so much, this is a great help.
Look at the angles! You gotta be impressed with this one!!!
Thank you! My washer works perfectly!
Thanks. Wish i saw this video before i stuck my hand in to pull out the switch.
Perfect! great video.
Also just pop the big gold clips that are visible once you pop up your control center. Very easy with a screw driver just pry them up . The whole cover will just pivot down or come off. I did this on my kenmore with help of your video. 👍
Thanks your video was a big help.
Wow ! Super useful ! Thank you !
thank you !!! have a great 2020
Awesome Adam !!!!!!!!!! 😊👍
Thanks for the mystery hint worked like a charm :) :) :)
Thank you for this video. Took me about 25 mins only because I had to remove the casing...it was too tight to reach under there for me.
Excellent, perfect and you don't have to take the cabinet top off. Thanks for making this video.
Juat another big THANK YOU.... a very nice video!
Thanks Adam

Hey, I'm just happy that I didn't drop it inside the cabinet! 🙃@@rsinj
Thank you for your video. My washer is a bit different Maytag W10150597A lid switch. Any suggestions
Thank you so much for your help.
Thank you so much! saved us from buying a new washer
Rather than squeezing underneath and working with little space you can slide the top metal plate off by unclipping it on the rear left (the brass clip). Super easy.
Thank you.
I’m your #1 fan!
Grate diy. Thanks!
It's so nice to learn the easy fixes like this video presents. Makes me think of all the times I called a repairman.
This will be the 2nd one for this old washer but it works so well . Thanks one question does this Roper have a filter 🤔 thank you I subscribed
thanks saved me a lot of money
It worked💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 great video saved me a ton of money for 10.00
THANK YOU
Ordered mine off Amazon. Grandma's wash machine in her shop broke and I gotta fix it before she funds out lol simple fix for sure.
Very Helpful Thank You! :)
Thank you!!
Good job bro
Great job thank you
Thank you I'm gonna give it a try?
Can you do a video on how to get those white pesky wire connectors with the double tabs apart.
thanks, yours are the best.
Great Video, thank you so much
Thanks save me a lot of money great video
Hi, that was very helpful. The thing is I have one of those appartment size dual standing machine. Dryer above, washer below. That's the lid switch that needs to be replaced... A Worldpool model. Can you do a demo for those of us having this problem. Thanks, appreciate you.
Sir, I thank you so very much !
Great video, but where is the link to Adam's video of the other model of lid switch? My Whirlpool uses the other style. Thanks in advance!
Nice job, not an easy task. I had trouble with the ground so I cut the new one and the original and soldered them together and applied some heat shrink tape. I still need to get to the clips. Glad I could do this somewhat competently, now my girl thinks I'm her hero again! Haha!
