Product review (5 stars): Great price on a cost saving repair
Looked at other websites and price for this part was anywhere between $35 to $50. It was about $25 with free 2 day shipping Amazon Prime.

I have Whirlpool Gold washer about 10 years old and lid switch different. The issue was it would stop between initial wash and rinse cycle.  If we went over and lifted lid or touched the selector dial it would continue through the cycle.  Did some on line research and found out it was lid switch. I originally ordered wrong part and had to return it (That one was $8 and looked different but stated to be for Whirlpool and Kenmore direct drive washers).  Then I found the least expensive one here - Whirlpool certified!

Once I got it it took about 15 minutes to repair - it took more time re-seating the washer cabinet onto the frame then anything else.  Works great! Saved $100 - $200 doing it myself.
