Product review (5 stars): Excellent item - priced right and works great!
I first bought a "genuine" replacement part from Sears Maintenance center, which cost me $52.50!

When I saw this item advertised on Amazon for $7.49, I purchased it and eventually returned/got a refund from Sears for their unused switch.  Talk about a BIG savings!

Truthfully, at first, I was worried that due to the much cheaper price, that this switch would be of inferior quality.  Thankfully, my worries were unwarranted, as when I compared this lid switch with the one from Sears, they looked exactly alike!  And once installed, this part worked great!

Note - I had never before done any kind of repair on a washing machine.  Luckily, youtube has several videos on how to do this, which turned out to be very easy to do.  If you ever have to replace this part in your washing machine, please check out the online videos, as I tried to take apart my control panel without knowing what I was doing, and ended up bending the control panel's metal section when I didn't have to!  I spent even more time trying to bend the panel back into a close-enough shape so that it would fit on the washing machine!  If I had taken the time to look on youtube first, I would have saved a significant amount of time and used less curse words :-D.

I highly recommend this part and seller, and would happily do business with them again if I ever need this similar item. :-)
