The assembly locks the lid while the washer is running and releases it when the cycle ends, and it tells the control board the lid is closed and it's safe to run. When it wears out, cracks, or fails electrically, the washer may refuse to start, stop in the middle of a cycle, show a lid or door lock error, or fail to lock the lid at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis assembly replaces the original lock and switch as a unit, so you do not have to diagnose which internal contact has failed. As a genuine OEM part, not an aftermarket equivalent, it matches the original factory fit and specification. It mounts on the washer cabinet with an electrical connector and is a straightforward repair, usually done in under an hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGenuine OEM WH08X37938 Lid Switch Assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes a GE or Hotpoint top-load washer that won't start, stops mid-cycle, won't lock the lid, or shows a lid or door lock error because the lid lock is worn or has failed.
