Whirlpool WP22001682 Washer Lid Switch Assembly
Product Description
Whirlpool WP22001682 Washing Machine The lid switch is an important safety feature found on Whirlpool top-load washers. It's a small but important switch located near the washer's lid. The lid switch ensures safety by detecting whether the lid is closed. When the lid is closed, the switch completes an electrical circuit, allowing the washer to turn on and run the wash cycle. 1If the lid is open, the switch cuts off the circuit, preventing the washer from starting or stopping in the middle of a cycle. This safety feature protects users from injury by preventing the washer's agitator or spin cycle from running while the lid is open.
