Product review (1 stars): Cheap Knockoff That FAILED in 5 Months and NEVER worked 100%
This is a KNOCKOFF not a genuine FSP or Whirlpool part and it COMPLETELY FAILED in only 5 months.  It had a tell-tale issue when I first installed it -  I had to glue a shim to the top of it to get it to engage properly.  It also evidently had disconnected intermittently during the spin cycle as my wife started noticing that the clothes were not as dry as before the original switch failed.  After 5 months this switch completely failed to engage.  Save yourself the hassle of lifting the cabinet on the washer etc and get a GENUINE FSP part like this one  http://www.amazon.com/Kenmore-Whirlpool-Washer-Genuine-3949247/dp/B00IMJZ11E which I ended up getting after this knockoff part failed.  That one engages solidly prior to the lid closing completely, a sure sign that no matter how much the machine might jostle etc the switch will stay engaged.  These things usually last years and I've never had a problem with genuine FSP parts over many years of fixing various appliances with them.  Complete waste of time and money buying this part - the $2.33 difference in price between this one and that one is NOT a reason to buy this POS.
