    On this washer you don't lift the top. You remove the cabinet. On the console, lower front of each side, remove the screws, one each side. Pull the console slightly forward and lift at front. Tip it back and you will see a gold clamp on each side holding the cabinet to the back. Remove the clamp by releasing with a screw driver (no screws). Now you can just tip the cabinet towards you and access the lid switch. Part number is 359230 or substitute 279347. Good luck.

I have an old Kenmore washing machine - 19 or 20 years old! It has never given me any problems until now! It fills and agitates but won't drain or spin. It will drain and spin, though, if I stick a screwdriver into the little hole inside the washer's top opening. It's the hole that the little stick...
