If you have an Amana or Maytag washer that is not spinning the lid switch may be broken and needs replaced. In this video I show you how to test, remove and replace the switch to so your washer will spin again. One more thing in this video is if you do not want to wait for the new part to arrive and you need to get some laundry done, I show you how to bypass the lid switch. Bypassing the lid switch is dangerous, so keep that in mind. The washer will not stop spinning when you open the lid. You will have to push the timer knob in to get it to stop. Other than that the machine will operate perfectly normal. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video. If you are not Subscribed to my YouTube Channel, go ahead and do that now!
