It's spinning when the speed is set to handwash or delicate but not on regular or heavy duty. I replaced the speed control switch and that didn't fix it. What's next?

I spoke too soon. The kid switch seems to be working. It stops spinning when I open it. But 2 loads have now washed without spinning. What else could it be?

I fixed it!!! Old lid switch worked, I twisted the wires together and covered with electrical tape. I tried the crimping connectors but they didn't feel secure. I'm so proud of myself! Thanks for the help sidfink! :D

Yes, I definitely want it fixed properly. Right now it's the same as before. Lid switch isn't working so it's not spinning on its own. I'm going to try to hook up the old lid switch and see if it works.

I assume this has fixed your original problem. What you have likely done is to wire it up so as to by-pass the lid switch. See if you don't have a friend who is familiar with basic wiring who can come over and set it right for you. If it is working correctly you could leave it as is but DON'T, this is a safety issue. The machine must stop when the lid is raised.

I hooked it all up and now I think the new lid switch isn't working. I don't hear a click and the washer keeps spinning when it's open. I'm ready to throw this thing out a window!

If I hook it up wrong will something bad happen? Or it just won't work?

Ok I went to homedepot and an employee helped me. I got the little connectors that you crimp and wire cutters/splitters. I've done the ground wire buuuut... My machine has 1 green, 1 tan and 1 gray wire and my lid switch has 1 green and 2 gray wires. How do I know which wire goes where?

Yes, but with shipping it would be about $100.00. Those of us who respond on this site are volunteers and do not work for APP which is a parts company. This should be your part. Part number: AP3100363
Sorry I am not there to help you, this is about a ten minute job for us but it can be daunting if you haven't done it before. If the three wires are connected securely this will work. The important thing is that the machine stops when the lid is raised; this is a safety feature that is very important.

Cam I buy a whole new wire bundle with plugs?
