Product review (5 stars): Washer was locked and dead and now it works like a charm
Genuine part!  washer lid would stay locked and wouldn't unlock until unplugged for 20 minutes or so, eventually it would not unlock at all.  Then there was no power on the controls at all.  We couldn't afford a new washer at the moment and since our current washer is just over a year old I decided to give this a try.  A few days later the part arrived, I installed it and the washer is working like new.  Just did 6 loads of laundry and it's working like a charm.  This sensor is prone to failure due to its location, exposing it to moisture.  And the sensor does not have a waterproof seal around it.
