Product review (5 stars): Buy this here, but it may not really be needed!
If you really have a dead switch then you should buy the switch from this guy. He sells them for $20 bucks cheaper than other vendors, and he delivers quickly.  But your switch may really not be dead... Read on

I ordered a switch because my washing machine would fill, but not start. The very next day I found out, quite by accident I might add, that it would start if the lid was slammed hard enough (made a mental note; try kicking and slamming first). Anyway, th e slamming worked for awhile but like all easy fix's it eventually got to the point that it did not matter how hard one slammed the lid. It would not agitate.

So, seeing as how I already had a new switch, I replaced the old switch with this new one. Figured I'd better do it now as the slamming was starting to take its tole, and I didn't want to have to replace the entire lid. Took me forever to figure how to get to it, but the replacing was really easy.  Amost immediately, the new switch started to behave like the old one. After some serious head scratching, and electrical checking, it turns out that my old switch was working just fine, and so may yours.

All that was wrong was the lid hinge wire needs to be bent ever so slightly, to better engage the switch. I bent the wire a "little more", just to make sure it would never do this again, and left  the new switch in as long as I had it in there. Now all is well....once again I'm "Slamless in Los Angeles"

(sorry, couldn't help myself there)
