Quick and simple to install

Installed in about 30 minutes, however in order to 'pop the top' of the washer (not the lid), two plastic fastener clips were broken and will have to be replaced.

The web instructions were great

Using the instructions provided on the Sears Parts Direct website (https://www.searspartsdirect.com/diy/repair-guide/how-to-replace-the-lid-switch-in-a-direct-drive-top-load-washer), I was easily able to install the new washer lid switch. I recommend making some note of which screws came from the switch and which came from the control console. The hardest part was inserting the new wire harness tube under its clip.

It was easy to install

After putting the machine back together I tested the switch and it failed immediately. Drains properly, rinse cycle works, however when you open the lid it fails to stop spinning, and with the lid closed it won't spin or drain. Contacted customer service for a replacement and they want me to send this switch back for a refund and then wants to bill me for a new one with the same order number before I get the refund for the failed one. How is this ok? They should just send me a new switch while they wait for the return of the failed one and not charge me for it as they already received payment for it on that order number. No brainer. Won't do business with them again.
