    How to test a lid switch on a washing machine
    The lid switch appears to have a broken tab as it doesn't protrude through the hole. The connections are watertight and soldered. How can I test this switch?

    Find where the wires coming from switch go to a junction and remove one wire to test, but if tab is broken you need to replace it and adjust it.
