Why dont you just place a screw or nail in the groove of the switch to keep it constantly on? Safer 😅

My Lid switch clicks, but when I check it with Multi-meter, it is discontinuous. So I took your advice and connected a small wire between the 1st and 3rd -non-Green Wires in that wire harnessing coming from the Control Board going to the Lid Sensor. It did not work. It restarted it at rinse, and filled up a little more than the level it was at, but the spin cycle it did not work and now still have water in my machine. What would look at from here?

Thank you so very much for putting this on KZitem. I am a single mom and I went to the store and was able to buy the parts for $35 and it's saved me the Appliance housecall of $125 and I'm sure the part would have been much more. I really owe you thank you so much.

Thanks a ton! I had a load of laundry stuck in the washer. Knew enough to get the top of the machine off and get at that stupid switch. Bless corporate design and their little fiddly bits of plastic that snap at the first sight of strain. As I was doing the teardown, the little shit popped right out of the enclosure into my hand. I am perfectly ok with manually flipping the new, and vastly improved IMO, "lid lock" now and again... Thanks so much once again!

Thanks much. Can't wait to disable that darn switch. I am 67 and even as a child I was never dumb enough to stick my hand in to the washer when it was on the spin cycle!! Hard to believe anyone is that stupid but then they have alerts on strollers now a days to take the baby out of the stroller before folding it up! (NO KIDDING...they really have that printed on stollers!! )

Do you have venmo? I want to send you money as thanks for saving me so much! This fixed my Whirlpool model wtw5000dw1. Machine would flash "sensing" and click at the lock 4-5 times and not start. Diagnostic test said lid lock. I figured I needed a new lock assembly so I had nothing to lose opening the lock and removing this clip. Worked like a charm.

Check the lid switch rubber bung. Take it off and try the machine. On my Kenmore the bung is a white rubber doughnut about a half inch in diameter and about 1/4 inch thickness and it is mounted on the lid. Trim the bung and there is a chance everything will now work. Use an ohmmeter to ensure that the circuit is being completed. I also used a screwdriver to hold the switch down. I put the machine to Spin. Pulled the on-off switch and it ran.
