Product review (5 stars): OEM
My Kenmore top load washer quit working the other day. The tub filled with water but the cycle never started. Once I investigated the issue, i discovered the lid switch had split along a sealed seam. I was able to use some gorilla tape to get by but I immediately ordered this. I was shipped a genuine FSP lid switch with matching part numbers. It was Made in Mexico as was the original.

To replace my switch: I removed the console side caps by prying them forward. This revealed 2 screws, one on each lower corner, attaching the console to the top. The console then tilts forward to clear the top retainer and slides forward to disengage the 4 plastic clips. Underneath there are 2 zinc plated spring clips that need to come out. This will give you access to the wiring connector. I was able to replace the switch and ground screw by leaning into the tub. It's a 15 minute job.
