Product review (5 stars): would buy again and recommend to friends
My washer stopped mid-load. My first reaction was to schedule a repair call, but that was going to take days. I just googled the possible causes, and came up with the lid switch thing. I paid for next day shipping and got this about three days sooner than the repair call. I looked up a youtube video on replacing the lid switch in a kenmore washer, watched a couple then switched it out in about 15 minutes.
It's been in there a month, been through a few dozen wash cycles and has had no problems. It looked more or less identical to the old one. I don't foresee any problems with it.
Even with the next day shipping I did all this for like $15 and it took maybe a half hour to fix. Much less time than my 4 hour repair appointment window, and if I ever had to do it again it would go a lot faster. I'm genuinely grateful for it.
