This is the start/stop button for your washer. If your washer will not start after the button is depressed, you may need to replace it. However, you may also want to check your door switch, because when the washer will not start, the door switch is often the issue. This part is made of rubber and is gray in color. It is a little bigger than 1 inch in diameter and is sold individually.

This lid switch with wire harnesses is used in washing machines. The pin on the lid switch pushes onto the lever of the switch to communicate to the machine that the washer lid is closed. If your washing machine is not running when the lid is closed, not spinning, draining, or agitating, replacing the lid switch could solve the problem. The tools needed for this repair are: putty knife, 1/4 inch nut driver, wire strippers and crimpers. Refer to the manual for further installation instructions. Remember to unplug your washer from the power source as a safety precaution.

Washer didn't wash/spin
Replaced lid switch with wire harness. Video available on this web page. The technician said bad motor. We counted the flashes, light on top of motor, was 7 times. Diagnoses are very important, save you money! Do it more times, be sure. Biggest problem is socket size for the screws, size 6,5mm or 1/4 inch. Do not call technician or throw away your washer!...

washing machine would not go through all cycles or agitate
After removing frt panel which prys off I checked for anything obvious like a loose belt. Then I jiggled the magnet switch located on the inside of the loading cover. I saw the machine start agitating the it stopped again when I stopped touching it. I ordered the new part and spliced it in with the wire crip tool. Now the machine is A ok.

Washer would start, then stop numerous times before finally running it's entire cycle. Often it stopped half way through the full cycle and when it finally restarted, it would start from the beginning
This is so simple it's ridiculous. First, pull the "control knobs" off the front of the washer. Next, take the three screws (nut driver type) off the back panel then slide the loose front panel towards you and it's off. Take the part(s) you're replacing off-there are two sections joined by a flat electrical "cord" with a total of 5 nut driver screws (but a smaller size than the ones on the back panel). Tip the Control Board up from the bottom to pull it out of the unit. Unplug the 3 electrical contacts that go to the Electronic Control Board and throw away the old control board. Reverse steps to put it all back together. I did this all in less than 10 minutes. I'm pretty handy around the house, but if you know which end of a nut driver to grip, you can do it just as fast.

Washer would not run. Lights on but would not run at all.
Figured out it was the control board since lights were on when I plugged the washer in but the washer never started. Pushing the ON button would flash the fill light but nothing happened. The part came in less than a week. I did notice the part came with the control panel for the water fill, water temp and options as they are wired together. The part also had the plastic holder which has the ON button pusher which I was happy about since mine had broken several months back. One note, the part did not have the jumper connector (the one that does not have wires going anywhere except itself. This was not a problem since I just used the one from the old part. Repair took about 10 minutes (I had already figured out how to remove the part to make sure I could before ordering the part). Was not hard. Put in the part and noticed the washer filled with water but stopped and never started the wash cycle. I knew something was wrong because, when the lid is closed it should spin the drum during fill up. It was not. I reconnected all the wires on the control board and it now works fine.
