XPARTCO WH12X955 Washer Lid Switch
The XPARTCO WH12X955 is an aftermarket replacement lid switch assembly compatible with GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built washer/dryer combo units (including GE spacemaker and stacked laundry models). The lid switch is a safety component mounted inside the washer lid — it detects whether the lid is open or closed and signals the control that it's safe for the machine to start, agitate, and spin. When the lid closes, the switch activates and the washer can run through its full cycle. If the lid switch fails, the washer typically won't spin or drain, may not start or agitate at all, and clothes are left sitting in water.
This is a complete lid switch assembly with an integrated wiring harness and ground wire. Dimensions: 1-1/4" H x 2-1/4" W x 16" D (the 16" depth is the wire harness that routes from the lid down into the washer cabinet). It directly replaces WH12X955, WH12X0955, AP2045786, 278666, AH270219, EA270219, PS270219, and OEM6137363. Installation involves accessing the lid itself — the switch mounts inside the lid with two screws plus a separate ground wire screw. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves — The Lid Comes Off Disconnect power at the outlet or breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp sheet metal edges. This repair requires removing the washer lid to access the switch. Open the lid, then push it toward the back of the machine to release the plastic clips at the front that hold the lid up. Slowly lift the lid at the front — you'll see the lid switch is the only thing still connecting the lid to the washer body. Confirm the power is off, then unclip the electrical connector that joins the lid switch harness to the washer's wiring (it's typically a molex-style connector). With the connector released, you can carry the lid to a workbench or flat surface to work on it comfortably. On the underside/inside of the lid, remove the two screws on the right-hand side that hold the switch in place, then remove the screw that secures the ground wire to the inside of the lid. Lift out the old switch. The new WH12X955 switch snaps into place — seat it, reinstall the two mounting screws, and reattach the ground wire with its screw. Route the new harness cable through the same path as the old one; you can gently lift the retaining clips with a flathead screwdriver to slide the new cable through. Reconnect the electrical connector, set the lid back into position, and press it down until the front plastic clips engage. Restore power and test by closing the lid and running a cycle — confirm the washer agitates, drains, and spins. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, flathead screwdriver, work gloves. (Tip: if you drop the ground wire nut inside the cabinet, a magnet on a stick makes retrieval easy.)
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't spin or drain — is the lid switch the cause?
Yes — 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, worn internal contacts, or broken wiring), the control never receives the "lid closed" signal, so it blocks the spin and drain phases as a safety measure — leaving your clothes sitting in water. On many GE washer/dryer combos, a failed lid switch will also prevent the machine from starting or agitating at all. If your washer fills but goes no further, or completes the wash but leaves clothes soaked, the lid switch is the prime suspect. You can confirm by testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter when the lever is depressed.
Why is this switch 16" long?
The 16" dimension is the length of the wiring harness, not the switch body itself. The switch mounts inside the washer lid, and its harness has to route from the lid, through the hinge area, down into the washer cabinet to reach the main wiring connector. That's why the assembly comes with a long attached cable — and it's also why this repair involves removing the lid to access everything. The switch body itself is compact at roughly 1-1/4" H x 2-1/4" W.
Does this fit my standalone GE top-load washer?
Probably not. The WH12X955 is specifically used on GE washer/dryer combo units and spacemaker/stacked laundry models. Standalone GE top-load washers use different lid switch part numbers. Because the lid switch design and mounting vary significantly across GE's washer lineup, always search by your appliance model number to confirm the correct part before ordering. If your unit is a standalone top-loader, contact our support team with your model number and we'll identify the right lid switch for it.
Do I really have to take the lid off to install this?
On most compatible models, yes — the lid switch mounts inside the lid itself, so you'll need to release the lid from the washer body to reach the two mounting screws and the ground wire screw. The good news is that the lid comes off fairly easily: push it toward the back to release the front plastic clips, then lift it slowly, unclip the electrical connector, and carry the lid to a comfortable work surface. Working on the lid off the machine is far easier than trying to reach into a cramped laundry closet. Just be sure power is disconnected before unclipping the connector.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions (1-1/4"H x 2-1/4"W x 16"D), harness and ground wire configuration, connector, mounting, and lid-detection function of the original WH12X955 lid switch used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built washer/dryer combo and spacemaker units.

XPARTCO 3355806 Washer Lid Switch Replaces WP3355806
The XPARTCO 3355806 is an aftermarket replacement stackable washer lid switch assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Estate, KitchenAid, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Magic Chef stacked washer/dryer laundry centers (thin twin and space-saver units). 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.
The 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. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools and novice repair experience.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the appliance (or shut off the house circuit breaker) and turn off the hot and cold water supplies before beginning. 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer agitates and fills but won't spin — is the lid switch the cause?
Yes — 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.
What causes the lid switch to fail?
There 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.
What's the difference between 3355806 and WP3355806?
These 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. WP3355806VP is a variant packaging code. All are physically and functionally identical — if your laundry center's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, this listing is the correct replacement. The cross-references 520880, AP6008072, and PS11741201 are additional catalog identifiers for the same part.
Does this fit my thin twin or space-saver laundry center?
This lid switch is specifically designed for stacked washer/dryer laundry centers — the "thin twin," space-saver, and similar stacked units from Whirlpool and its related brands. It fits the Whirlpool LTE5243/LTG5243 series, Roper RTE5243/RTG5243 series, and a wide range of Kenmore thin twin models, among others. Check your model number against the compatibility list above. If your unit is a standalone (non-stacked) top-load washer, it likely uses a different lid switch — contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm the correct part.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the fit, 11" harness with round plugs, 7/8" block connector, terminal configuration, and lid-detection function of the original WP3355806 lid switch used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, Roper, Estate, and related stacked washer/dryer laundry centers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The lid switch is located under the control panel at the top rear left corner of the washer. To access it, you'll need to remove the control panel: on most direct-drive washers, use a putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver to release the spring clips at the bottom edge of the control panel (typically two clips), then flip the control panel up and back on its hinges to rest against the wall behind the washer. You should now see the lid switch mounted on the left side with two screws. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the wiring harness from the 3 flat terminals on the old lid switch — note how the harness connects. Remove the two mounting screws holding the old switch in place. Also disconnect the green grounding wire (it's attached separately with its own screw). Remove the old switch. Install the new 8318084 switch in the same position using the two mounting screws. Reconnect the green grounding wire with its screw. Plug the wiring harness back onto the 3 flat terminals, matching your photos. Flip the control panel back down and press it into place until the spring clips snap. Plug the washer back in and test by closing the lid and running a cycle — confirm the washer starts, agitates, spins, and drains. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver (for spring clips), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't spin but still fills — is the lid switch the problem?
Very likely, yes. On direct-drive top-load washers, the lid switch is a safety interlock that prevents spinning and agitating when the lid is open. When the switch fails, the control never receives the "lid closed" signal, so it blocks the spin (and often the agitate and drain) as a safety measure — but filling still works because that doesn't require the lid interlock. If your washer fills but won't advance past that point, or agitates but refuses to spin, the lid switch is the prime suspect. You can confirm by testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter when the lever is pressed — a working switch shows continuity when activated.
Why would a bad lid switch cause a burning smell?
This happens when the motor tries to engage but the lid switch isn't signaling correctly, causing the motor to stall or repeatedly attempt to start without completing the cycle. A stalling direct-drive motor generates heat that produces a burning smell. If you notice a burning smell AND the washer isn't spinning or agitating properly, check the lid switch first — it's far more likely (and cheaper) than a motor failure. If the burning smell continues after replacing the switch, have the motor and motor coupling inspected by a technician.
What's the difference between 8318084 and WP8318084?
These are the same lid switch across production revisions. 8318084 was the original part number and WP8318084 is the Whirlpool-era part number (with the "WP" prefix Whirlpool adopted). WP8318084VP is a variant packaging code. All are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, this listing is the correct replacement. The many additional cross-references (AP3180933, AP6012742, ES8084, PS886960, PS11745957, etc.) are catalog identifiers from various parts distributors for the same switch.
Does this fit my stacked laundry center or front-load washer?
No — the 8318084 is specifically designed for standalone direct-drive top-load washers on the Whirlpool platform. Stacked washer/dryer laundry centers use different lid switch part numbers (such as the 3355806 for Whirlpool thin twin units), and front-load washers use door lock assemblies instead of lid switches. Always search by your appliance's model number to confirm the correct part. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch fits your machine.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (125–250V, 50–60Hz, 1/2 HP), dimensions (3"L x 2"W x 1-15/16"H), 3-flat-terminal configuration, grounding wire, and lid-detection function of the original WP8318084 lid switch used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Maytag, Amana, and related direct-drive top-load washers.

W10404050 Genuine OEM Washer Lid Switch Assembly
The W10404050 is a Genuine OEM replacement lid switch and latch assembly compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, KitchenAid, Roper, Admiral, Crosley, Inglis, Magic Chef, and Norge top-load washers. The lid switch is a critical safety component that detects when the washer lid is opened or closed. It sends a signal to the control board to allow the washer to fill, agitate, and spin when the lid is closed — and to immediately stop the spin cycle when the lid is opened, preventing contact with a moving drum.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning any repair. The lid switch assembly is mounted under the washer's top panel near the lid opening. To access it, insert a putty knife about 2 inches from each front corner of the top panel to release the spring clips and lift the top panel. Disconnect the 4-wire harness from the old lid switch assembly. Remove the mounting screws securing the assembly and lift it out. Install the new W10404050 assembly, secure with the mounting screws, and reconnect the 4-wire harness. Choose the appropriate bezel (white or gray) for your model and snap it into place. Lower the top panel until the clips engage. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks, the washer starts, and the spin cycle stops when the lid is opened. Tip: While the top panel is raised, inspect the lid strike (W10240513) on the lid for cracks or wear — if worn, replace it at the same time. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the washer lid switch do?
The lid switch assembly serves two functions. First, it is a safety device — when the lid is opened during the spin cycle, the switch immediately cuts power to the spin motor to prevent contact with the moving drum. Second, it signals the control board that the lid is securely closed and locked, allowing the washer to proceed through the fill, agitate, and spin cycles. If the switch fails, the washer either won't start at all, or will fail to proceed past a specific cycle stage because the board cannot confirm the lid is closed.
My lid lock light is blinking — does that mean the lid switch needs to be replaced?
A blinking lid lock light is one of the most common symptoms of a failed W10404050 lid switch assembly. It typically means the lid lock mechanism is attempting to engage but failing — either because the switch is internally faulty or because the lid strike (W10240513) on the lid is broken and not triggering the switch properly. Inspect the lid strike first — if it is cracked or missing, replace it. If the strike looks intact and the lid lock still blinks without engaging, replace the W10404050 switch assembly.
Should I also replace the lid strike (W10240513) at the same time?
It depends on the condition of the strike. Open the lid and inspect the two plastic prongs on the underside of the lid that engage the W10404050 latch — this is the W10240513 lid strike. If the prongs are cracked, broken, or noticeably worn down, replace the strike at the same time as the switch assembly. Since the top panel is already lifted for the switch replacement, it is a good opportunity to inspect and replace the strike if needed, using only a Phillips screwdriver.
What washers is the W10404050 compatible with?
The W10404050 is used on Whirlpool Cabrio and WTW series electronic top-load washers, Maytag Centennial and Bravos X top-load washers, and Kenmore 110 series top-load washers, among others. It is specifically for electronic top-load models with a 4-wire lid lock — not for older mechanical top-load washers that use a simpler 2- or 3-wire lid switch. Verify your model number before ordering.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same lid switch and latch assembly installed in compatible washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO W10820036 Washer / Dryer Door Switch
The XPARTCO W10820036 is an aftermarket replacement door switch used on select Whirlpool-built combination washer/dryer units. This switch is a safety interlock: it detects whether the door is fully closed and latched, and it signals the control board that it is safe to run the motor, heater, and water valves. On a combo unit, this single interlock typically governs both the wash and dry portions of the cycle, since both functions share the same drum and door. If the switch fails to detect a closed door — or fails electrically even when the door is closed properly — the control will refuse to start the cycle, or will stop mid-cycle if the switch drops out while running.
Typical failure modes for a part like this include a cracked or worn switch lever that no longer depresses fully when the door closes, internal contacts that have pitted or burned out from years of cycling, and a housing that has come loose from its mounting bracket so the plunger no longer lines up with the door strike. A functioning door switch should click firmly when the door closes and should show continuity across its terminals only when the lever is pressed.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10820036 Washer/Dryer Door Switch is a door safety interlock switch for select Whirlpool-built combination washer/dryer units. It fixes units that won't start with the door closed, stop mid-cycle, or fail to register the door as closed even when it's latched properly. Note: this listing was built from general parts knowledge because current supplier and cross-reference data was not available at build time — see the note below before publishing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer/dryer combo won't start even though the door is fully closed
Cycle stops partway through, as if the door had been opened
Door doesn't feel like it's "clicking" or latching the way it used to
Console shows a door-related error or won't advance past the door-closed step
Intermittent operation — sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't, depending on how the door is closed
Visibly cracked, loose, or broken switch housing or lever

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug The Unit Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to the door switch on combo units is typically through the front or top control panel — photograph the wiring harness before disconnecting it so you can match it exactly on reassembly. Confirm the new switch's lever aligns with the door strike before securing the mounting screws, and test for a firm, positive click when the door closes before restoring power and running a cycle. If your unit's service manual is available, follow its specific access and mounting steps rather than relying solely on general guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
My combo unit won't start. Is this definitely the door switch?
It's one of the most common causes when a unit refuses to start with the door visibly closed. Before replacing the switch, confirm the door is latching fully and that nothing (a stray sock, a bent strike bracket) is preventing it from closing all the way. If the door latches firmly but the unit still won't start, or a multimeter shows no continuity across the switch terminals when the lever is pressed, the switch itself is the likely culprit.
Does this switch control both the washer and dryer functions?
On combination washer/dryer units, yes — a single door and drum typically serve both functions, so one door switch acts as the safety interlock for both the wash and dry portions of the cycle.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the mounting, switching function, and door-interlock behavior of the original W10820036 switch used in compatible combination washer/dryer units.

XPARTCO W10810403 Washer Lid Switch Assembly
The XPARTCO W10810403 is an aftermarket replacement lid lock assembly for Whirlpool Cabrio and Maytag Bravos XL top-load washers. Positioned on the underside of the washer lid, this assembly detects whether the lid is open or closed and locks it shut during the wash cycle, preventing the washer from spinning or agitating — and preventing the lid from being opened — while the cycle is running. This is a safety mechanism as much as a functional one, keeping users from contacting moving parts or being splashed by water or detergent mid-cycle.
This assembly includes the lid lock mechanism and its wiring harness, and ships with a white bezel. Many of these lid locks also contain an internal fuse as part of the switch circuit — if that fuse blows, the symptom isn't limited to lid-related errors; it can prevent the entire control board from powering up at all, since the switch sits in the same circuit path. A failing lid lock typically shows up as the lid not closing or locking properly, the washer failing to start, the cycle stopping mid-way, or in more severe cases, a completely unresponsive control panel with no lights at all. It directly replaces AP5984435, PS11722981, W10648012, W10787878, W10697793, W10787880, AP5999414, and PS11731620.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10810403 Washer Lid Switch Assembly fixes Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Bravos XL, and select Kenmore 600/700 Series top-load washers where the lid won't lock, the washer won't start, the cycle stops mid-way, or the control panel is completely unresponsive with no lights. White bezel. Replaces AP5984435, PS11722981, W10648012, W10787878, W10697793, W10787880, AP5999414, PS11731620. If your original lock has a grey bezel, you need part number W10861642 instead — same mechanism, different bezel color, so match the color of your existing lock before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Lid won't lock or lock reliably during the cycle
Lid won't open after a cycle finishes
Washer won't start
Washer won't agitate or spin because the lid isn't sensed as locked
Cycle stops partway through
Washer pumps but won't spin
Control panel completely unresponsive with no lights, potentially from an internal fuse in the switch circuit

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Open the washer lid and locate the lid lock assembly mounted on its underside, typically secured with a couple of screws. Photograph the wiring harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws, disconnect the wiring harness connector from the old assembly, and pull it free. Install the new W10810403 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks securely, the washer starts and completes a full cycle, and the lid unlocks normally once finished. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My control panel has no lights at all. Could the lid lock really cause that?
Yes, and this is a less obvious but documented cause. Some of these lid lock assemblies include an internal fuse as part of the switch circuit. If that fuse blows, it can prevent the control board from powering up entirely, producing a completely dark, unresponsive panel rather than a symptom that's obviously tied to the lid. If your washer has no lights and no response at all, this lock assembly is worth checking alongside the more obvious suspects.
My old lock has a grey bezel. Can I still use this part?
This specific listing has a white bezel. If your original lock is grey, order part number W10861642 instead — it's the same lock mechanism, just finished with a grey bezel to match certain washer trim colors. Using the wrong bezel color won't affect function, but it will look mismatched against your washer's lid.
Is this the same lock used on all Cabrio washers?
No — Whirlpool has used more than one lid lock design across its Cabrio-era lineup. This W10810403 is a distinct assembly from other Cabrio/MVW-platform locks, such as our W11670519 listing, which uses a different 3-wire electronic locking design. Always match your exact original part number rather than assuming any "Cabrio lock" will fit, since the mounting and electrical interface can differ between designs.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the locking mechanism, wiring harness, and bezel design of the original W10810403 lid lock assembly used in compatible Whirlpool Cabrio, Maytag Bravos XL, and related top-load washers.
