WP22001682 Whirlpool Washer Lid Switch Assembly
The Top Load Washer Lid Switch Assembly ensures that the washer door is closed while the washer is spinning. If the lid switch is broken, the washer will not spin. If the washer won't spin but will still agitate, the lid switch may be defective. Sometimes the body of the switch cracks from slamming the washer lid over time, or the internal switch fails and is no longer able to tell the washer the lid is closed. Remove the inner screws on the top of the console and pull the console down to access the part. Note: When disconnecting the wires from the old assembly, make sure you note which wires go where. Also, when securing the new assembly with its 5/16-inch screw, make sure your switch adjustment is correct when tightening by waiting for the click of the black switch. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the washer and novice repair experience. Remember to unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Also make sure to turn off your hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.

Replacing Your Whirlpool Lid Switch – a DIY Guide
Are you having trouble getting your Whirlpool range to turn on? It could be that the lid switch is faulty. Replacing your Whirlpool lid switch is a relatively easy repair that you can do yourself. This guide will walk you through the steps necessary to replace the WP22001682 Whirlpool Lid Switch.
Tools and Materials Needed
• Phillips head screwdriver
• Flat-head screwdriver
• New WP22001682 Whirlpool Lid Switch
• Replacement cord with plug
Step 1: Preparing to Replace the Switch
First, unplug your range from the wall outlet. Once that’s done, open the storage drawer at the bottom of the oven and remove it. After removing the drawer, you should see two screws in the floor of the oven that secure the lower access panel. Unscrew these two screws to remove the panel and set it aside.
Step 2: Locating the Lid Switch
Once the access panel has been removed, locate the lid switch. It should be attached to the back of the oven near the top. Unscrew the two screws holding the lid switch in place.
Step 3: Removing the Lid Switch
Once the screws have been removed, carefully pull out the lid switch, taking care not to damage any wires. Then, disconnect the wires from the old switch and remove it from the oven.
Step 4: Installing the New Lid Switch
Now, attach the wires to the new switch and insert the new switch into the oven. Secure it in place by reattaching the two screws.
Step 5: Testing the Switch
Once the switch has been secured, it’s time to test it. Plug the range back into the wall outlet, then gently press the lid switch with your finger. If all goes well, the switch should activate, and the oven should turn on.
That’s all there is to replacing your Whirlpool lid switch! Now you can rest assured knowing your range is functioning properly.
Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
