WH12X10141 General Electric Lid Switch Assembly with Leads for Washing Machines

Lid Switch Assembly with Leads for Washing Machines.
GE products are compatible with brands like Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. This Lid Switch Kit is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for GE washing machines. It functions by detecting whether the washer lid is securely closed and locked, thereby allowing the machine to start its cycles.

The primary reason for lid switch failures is often due to wear and tear from continuous mechanical use. Additionally, frequent opening and closing of the door can lead to wear on the internal components of the switch.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning lid switch include:

- The washer not starting despite the door being closed.
- The washing cycle halting unexpectedly with an indication that the door is open.
- False alarms signaling that the door is open.

This genuine GE replacement part is also suitable for use with Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore models.

This component addresses issues such as the washer failing to start.
