The lid switch is a safety component mounted near the top of the washer — it detects whether the lid is open or closed and prevents the washer from spinning while the lid is open. When you close the lid, a pin on the lid activates the lever on the switch, signaling the control that it's safe to spin. Without a functioning lid switch, the washer won't spin as a safety measure, even though it may still fill and agitate normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch commonly fails in one of two ways: the plastic body cracks from the lid being slammed over time, or the internal switch contacts wear out and can no longer signal that the lid is closed. Features an 11\" wiring harness with round plugs and a 7\/8\" block connector. It directly replaces WP3355806, WP3355806VP, 3355806, 520880, AP6008072, AP2947199, AH11741201, EA11741201, EAP11741201, PS11741201, PS341529, and PD00002599.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. On these stacked laundry centers, the lid switch is accessed by removing the front panel or the top panel — unscrew the screws along the edge of the panel and set it aside. Note: on some Whirlpool space-saver units, the hardest part of the job is getting the washer lid off to access the switch, so take your time and consult a model-specific diagram or video. Once the panel is off, locate the lid switch assembly near the top of the machine. Photograph the wiring harness connections before disconnecting anything. Unscrew the retaining screws that hold the lid switch in place, then carefully disconnect the wiring harness from the switch. Connect the wiring harness to the terminals on the new 3355806 switch, following the diagram on the switch for proper installation. Secure the new switch in place with the retaining screws. Reinstall the panel and secure it with the screws. Turn the water supplies back on, plug the washer back in, and test by closing the lid and running a cycle — the machine should advance to spin when the lid is shut. Tools needed: Multi-screwdriver, socket wrench (some models), work gloves.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eMy washer agitates and fills but won't spin — is the lid switch the cause?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eYes — this is the single most common and telling symptom of a failed lid switch. The lid switch is a safety interlock that prevents the drum from spinning while the lid is open. When the switch fails (cracked body or worn internal contacts), the control never receives the \"lid closed\" signal, so it blocks the spin cycle as a safety measure — but agitation and fill still work because those don't require the lid interlock. If your washer runs through wash and agitate normally but stops when it should spin, leaving clothes sopping wet, the lid switch is the prime suspect. You can confirm by testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter when the lever is pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWhat causes the lid switch to fail?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eThere are two common failure modes. First, the plastic body of the switch can crack over time from the lid being closed hard or slammed repeatedly — the repeated impact stresses the housing until it fractures. Second, the internal electrical contacts wear out from thousands of open\/close cycles and can no longer make a reliable connection to signal that the lid is closed. Either way, the fix is the same: replace the lid switch assembly. To extend the life of the new switch, close the lid gently rather than letting it slam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWhat's the difference between 3355806 and WP3355806?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eThese are the same lid switch across production revisions. 3355806 was the original part number and WP3355806 is the Whirlpool-era part number (with the \"WP\" prefix Whirlpool adopted) for the same switch.
