Have a broken lid switch. It looks like your part # AP3100003. First, it that a suitable replacement? Second, how easy is it to connect to the control panel?
The lid switch is OEM part made by Whirlpool: AP5983746
It is pretty simple to connect the new switch electrically - just open the control panel and you’ll see how it plugs in. You have to remove the washer cabinet to replace the lid switch. The video above shows step by step instructions.
Here are the break down diagrams for the Kirkland (Whirlpool) washer Model SAWS800MQ0
