Product review (5 stars): A fine switch
After studying the burnt  OEM - factory switch, I decided to install this replacement switch but not hook it up. This switch is fine and will do as good a job as the factory part. The thing is the points and springs failed on the factory switch and the housing melted slightly all due to heat. When the current is interrupted by opening the lid switch things are fine but then closing the lid and completing the circuit under a load, well I feel the OEM - factory switch is puny and it is my opinion such a lack of quality in the original factory supplied switch can lead to more complications involving larger parts including but not limited to the the motor which requires about three times the amperage at start up than it does during it's normal operating cycles. Never believe everything you read on the internet, You know I am so worried about the motor burning up my washing machine don't work anymore. This is a fine switch but we are old and have no children to let ride during the spin cycle any longer. Times have changed :}
