My lid switch has broken off of the machine, and I am having troubles getting inside to change it out. Please walk me through the steps in order for me to get to the faulty switch.

Disconnect power first 3. Check or change the lid switch. Unplug the washer. Check the actuator on the lid that operates the lid switch to see if broken. Open the console of the washer. After removing the screws, the console will lift up and hinge back. Disconnect the plug going to the lid switch. Picture. Check the lid switch [lid closed] with an ohm meterfrom the wire plug-in leading to the switch. If no continuity, replace the lid switch. You will need to remove the cabinet to replace the switch. There are only a couple screws holding the lid switch assembly and a ground wire connection to the cabinet. Reassemble the washer and test the operation. Unplug washer, remove the two consol screws and tilt console back, remove cabinet clips, unlock lid switch block and then remove the cabinet. Remove the lid switch mounting screws, disconnect ground wire and remove lid switch assembly. Compare old switch to the new one. If the plastic sleeve of the new switch is longer, break off at the score mark. Pull wire partially out of sleeve before shortening sleeve. If the sleeve had to be shortened, the wires must be looped to take up the excess wire. Use supplied wire tie from the new kit. Install new switch assembly. New lid switch pictures are here.

I greatly appreciate the video posted. I was able to easily buy the part from this site, it arrived the next day, and the replacement took me a total 20 minutes. My washer was not as clean as the sample (lol) so I had a tad bit of clean up to do on the inside of the cabinet before replacing. Without the video I would not have felt confident to replace the switch. Thank you!!
