Unplug the washer, access the switch, and test continuity across the terminals with a multimeter — a good switch shows continuity when the actuator is depressed, open circuit when released. Also inspect the lid strike (the plastic tab): if it’s broken or worn down, the switch never gets activated regardless of condition. Replacing the strike alone (a $5–10 part) can save you the cost of a full switch assembly.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"XPart \/ New","offer_id":50715964965153,"sku":"WP8318084XP","price":29.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OEM \/ New","offer_id":50715964932385,"sku":"WP8318084","price":36.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XPart \/ Used","offer_id":52435007504673,"sku":"WP8318084XP","price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"OEM \/ Used","offer_id":52435007471905,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_x1024_ae466d0f-45ea-40aa-8c1c-609f54413b2e.png?v=1725979692","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/whirlpool-washer-lid-switch-assembly-wp8318084","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
