Whirlpool WP207166 Washer Lid Check Switch
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP207166 is a crucial safety component for your washing machine. It's a lid check switch, a small but important part that determines whether the lid is open or closed. This information is vital for the washer's operation. When the lid is shut, the switch completes an electrical circuit, allowing the washer to begin a cycle and fill with water. Conversely, if the lid is open during a cycle, the switch disrupts the circuit, preventing the washer from agitating or spinning at high speeds. This safety feature protects users from potential injury during operation. The lid check switch WP207166 is present in a number ofWhirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and other compatible brand washing machines. Replacing a faulty lid check switch is a relatively simple repair that can restore your washer's functionality and ensure continued safe operation.
