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.

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?

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.
