Product review (5 stars): This worked like a charm to fix my Whirlpool washer
This worked like a charm to fix my Whirlpool washer.  It was a very easy and inexpensive fix.  When my washer stopped working I did a little research on the internet an learned that the lid switch is the most common reason washers stop agitating and spinning.  I checked the model number for my washer and determined this was the replacement part.  On my particular model the lid switch is located inside the top console, making the fix that much easier. It took only a few minutes to open the console and replace the lid switch and the washer was immediately up and running.  Before calling the repairman, do a little research and give this solution a try and you'll probably end up saving a substantial amount of money.
