Part 3949247V Lid Switch Assembly

Purpose

Detects lid closure to enable spin

Details

This is a genuine OEM lid switch assembly for top-load Whirlpool-family washing machines. It acts as a safety interlock, ensuring the washer will not spin if the lid is open. When this part fails, the washer may agitate but refuse to spin, or may not respond at all during spin cycles. Replacing this switch restores proper safety operation and full spinning capability.

Included Items

One lid switch assembly with attached wire harness.
