Product review (1 stars): Whirlpool Washer Lid Switch 3949238
I usually don't comment on products ordered thru amazon..read other reviews and agree with others about this failed lid switch.

Purchased 1st switch on April 4, 2012.  Received switch and installed it and not even a months use switch failed...would not turn off with lid open.
Purchased 2nd switch on June 28, 2012.  Installed switch and did 3 wash loads and my last load the machine just stopped in the middle of the rinse cycle.
I'm bypassing the lid switch and the machine is running fine, but that's a safety problem.
Very disappointed in this product.
