"Necessity is the Mother of invention" Nicely done. Not a permanent solution but, you do acknowledge that in the video...Always good to CYA...now, I'll go work on my father-in-laws washer. Thanks a bunch!
Me and my wife were totally confused. She gave up right away... I sat there with voltage tick tracer to make sure it had voltage... then I fiddled with the knobs a bit, then stuck the dingus end of my tick tracer into the lid switch hole and it started. Called my wife and said honey I think know what the problem is... its the switch... she takes up a screw driver near by jams it in and the whole thing popped backwards... welp... your bypass video helped us out to where we can at least finish the load before we replace the whole dang thing now
Followed your instructions, and your quick fix "but effective" method worked on my 19 year old Whirlpool washer. Thank you very much for sharing this, much appreciated!
I just did the same thing (without this video) to my disintegrated switch(keep the ground screwed to the washer body, shouldn't need to bother it at all, it's usually a green wire. This method avoids all that unscrewing the top panel and trying to move it around. My washroom is quite cramped and the method I made up worked perfectly.

Great tip and easier than bypassing near the control panel. Saved having to buy a new washer!

Saved me from buying another washer thank you brother
I have a similar model washer. It stopped mid cycle and I was freaking out! But this totally worked and was super easy. Thank you!
I did this slightly different instead of jumpering at the switch I jumpered at the connector. either way works like a charm! thank you SMK-82
