Washer Lid Switch Assembly

The WP3949238 Lid Switch controls whether the washer’s motor and agitator may operate by detecting when the lid is closed. If the lid is open, it interrupts the control circuit to protect against accidental activation and enable safe operation.

• Includes mounting bracket or shroud to align with washer lid strike

• Spade-style electrical terminals for easy wiring integration

• Designed for frequent mechanical cycling in normal washer use

• Direct replacement for part 3949238 (and cross-reference PS11742021)

• Compatible with various Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, JennAir, Inglis, and Magic Chef washing machines that list WP3949238 as the lid switch
