It prevents the washer from spinning and agitating when the lid is open, serving as a critical safety component. This part replaces the earlier number 3355458. When the lid switch fails, the washer may not spin, agitate, or start at all, even with the lid fully closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eOEM Part Number\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eWP3355458\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eWhirlpool\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003ePart Type\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eLid switch assembly\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eReplaces\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003e3355458\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eAppliance Type\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eTop-load washing machine\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth\u003eCompatible Brands\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd\u003eWhirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Maytag, Amana, Admiral, Magic Chef, Jenn-Air\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSymptoms Fixed by Replacing WP3355458\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWasher will not spin:\u003c\/strong\u003e The lid switch does not send the closed signal to the control, so the spin cycle never engages.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWasher will not agitate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Without a closed-lid signal, the agitator stays idle even when the cycle is running.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWasher fills with water but stops:\u003c\/strong\u003e The fill cycle completes, but the motor will not engage because the lid switch is open-circuit.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eClicking sound from lid area:\u003c\/strong\u003e The switch actuator is worn or broken, causing intermittent contact.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpen the lid and remove the screws securing the lid switch bracket under the top panel.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDisconnect the wire harness from the old lid switch assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemove the old switch from the mounting bracket.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInstall the new WP3355458 lid switch onto the bracket and reconnect the wire harness.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSecure the bracket screws and close the lid.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlug the washer back in and run a test cycle to confirm the washer spins and agitates with the lid closed and stops when opened.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation typically takes 15 minutes to 1 hour.
