I have a KitchenAid washer and the lid switch seems to be malfunctioning. I’m wondering if there is a way to bypass the lid switch so I can still use the washer. I’ve tried to troubleshoot the issue, but I’m not sure what else to do. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It was a typical Saturday morning, and I was ready to tackle the laundry. As I opened the lid of the washer, I noticed something was off. The lid switch had broken, and I was unable to get the machine to start. After a few minutes of research, I found a way to bypass the lid switch.
First, I located the wires connected to the lid switch. I then unplugged the wires and connected them together with a wire nut. This bypassed the switch and allowed the washer to start.
Next, I had to figure out a way to keep the lid closed. I used a rubber band to secure the lid to the washer. This allowed the washer to run without the lid switch being engaged.
Finally, I tested the washer to make sure it was running properly. It worked perfectly, and I was able to finish my laundry.
Bypassing the lid switch was a bit of a challenge
