Product review (4 stars): lid switch ok
Looked into replacing the lid switch with "genuine Kenmore" parts and discovered it was going to take much longer to get the part (you can now only order Kenmore parts online, there are no service centers, apparently) and it was going to cost 3X as much. I was worried about doing the work myself, being only semi-handy, but I found a video that showed how to take the machine apart and replace the switch. It's only been a few weeks, but the part fit perfectly, seems to work exactly as it should, and I saved a bundle over calling a service person.
