If your Whirlpool washer has a 4-wire lid switch, you may need to bypass it in order to get the washer to work properly. Bypassing the lid switch is a relatively simple process that can be done in a few steps. First, you will need to locate the lid switch. It is usually located on the side of the washer near the lid. Once you have located the lid switch, you will need to disconnect the wires from it. Next, you will need to connect the two wires that were connected to the lid switch together. Finally, you will need to secure the wires together with electrical tape. Once you have completed these steps, your Whirlpool washer should be able to operate without the lid switch.
