The Whirlpool 12001514 Washing Machine Lid Switch is a crucial safety component in your washing machine. It's a modest but essential switch situated near the lid that acts as a gatekeeper. When the lid is closed, the switch completes an electrical circuit, enabling the washer to function. When the lid is open, the circuit is disrupted, preventing the washing machine from initiating or continuing the cycle. This safety feature keeps the washer from running with the lid open. This could result in damage from spinning parts or floods from spilled water.Replacing a defective lid switch will restore your washer's functionality and guarantee it continues to operate safely. A malfunctioning lid switch can show in a variety of ways, including the washing machine refusing to start even when filled and powered on.
