My washer does not work any more. It blew the fuse on the lid switch and I replaced it. Washer worked fine for a couple days and blew the fuse again. I tried putting in the close and soap and closeing the lid down first before starting the machine and this worked great for about 3 weeks, now it doesn't work again. I jumped the double wire on the one side of the switch to the double wire on the other side of the switch and tried that, Nothing happened. I only jumped the wires across the black portion of the switch (part #6 2054150 ALT> FOR 2-02770) the smaller white portion that appears to be some sort of switch I did not jump. Is my switch bad?

There are two switches (the lid switch and the check switch) and you have to check both of them for continuity. Then you have to adjust them properly as shown on the wiring diagram.

- The part number for the check switch is AP4023948

- The part number for the lid switch is AP3094142
