Compatibility & Fitment

This lid switch is compatible with thousands of top-load washer models manufactured by the Whirlpool Corporation across several brand names:

  • Whirlpool: Fits a wide array of classic top-load models.
  • Kenmore / Sears: Compatible with many 110-series direct-drive washers.
  • Roper & Estate: Fits most standard top-load units using the 285671 part configuration.
  • KitchenAid & Admiral: Compatible with select older top-load platforms.
  • Amana: Fits specific models produced during the Whirlpool transition era.

When to Replace

  • No Spin Cycle: The machine drains the water but will not enter the spin phase, even though the motor hums or the timer advances.
  • Inoperative Machine: The washer refuses to start any cycle, as it cannot detect that the lid is closed.
  • Broken Lever Arm: The plastic actuator that detects the lid pin is snapped, cracked, or missing.
  • Burned Connector: Visible charring or melting on the three-prong plug or the switch housing.
  • Testing Failure: A continuity test with a multimeter shows an open circuit when the switch button is fully depressed.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: Disconnect the power cord and turn off the water supply before beginning any disassembly.
  • Cabinet Removal: For many models, you must remove the two screws at the base of the console, flip it up, and then release the brass clips to remove the entire outer cabinet.
  • Grounding Connection: Ensure the green ground wire is securely screwed into the metal frame of the washer during installation.
  • Harness Routing: Route the wires through the existing plastic clips to prevent them from rubbing against the tub during vibration.
  • Final Check: Before reassembling the cabinet, ensure the lid pin aligns perfectly with the switch lever to prevent mechanical binding.

Best one yet
Best tasting Metamucil if you enjoy carbonation. Less sweet than regular (even the no added sugar version felt a bit overly sweet to me). Lemonade is a close second but a bit too expensive. Wish it would come with a scoop but I saved one from a different product and dropped it into the jar here.

Great product, dislike new 43oz size
Works well. Prefer the “fizzy” formula over all others. I recommend adding powder to your cup, fill 30-50% with cold water, then use a small handheld milk frother to blend. It’ll “foam” then settle, add you can add more water. (If you fill the whole cup with water right away it’ll overflow when it foams up.) I prefer to drink it quickly, before it starts to thicken into a heavy gel/paste. 3 star rating for 2 reasons: 1) Strongly dislike the food coloring! 2) They recently changed container size and shape. It used to be a 29oz cylinder, now it’s 43oz and more like a tub. The new format is too large for my kitchen vitamin drawer + too wide and heavy to grab with one hand. (I’ve included side by side pics here - didn’t think to take them until I’d already removed the 43oz label for recycling.) I saved my last 29oz canister and I’ve been decanting powder from the 43oz, keeping the 43oz in pantry storage.

Great product
I have been using Metamucil for a long time! I can tell a difference in using the plain and the vitamin variety. I feel a more energetic. I will not use this variety close to bedtime. It does fizz a lot. Only add a small amount of water to the glass and after the fizz settles down add more water. Great product!

Fantastic product, dont like the texture - mix with food. Still 10/10 💩🎉
Flavor Name: Orange, Size: 15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Taste: While the product doesn’t taste bad, preparing it as directed results in a very mild orange flavor. -as a drink I would prefer more flavor. Texture: The psyllium husk absorbs water extremely quickly—even in cold or room-temp water—which is just the nature of the ingredient itself. Because it starts to gel so fast, you have to chug it, and even then it can be difficult to get down. (I personally gag at it, but I have sensory issues) If the gel like texture is an issue for you, I found it more palatable mixed into food with water on the side. Texture aside, the product itself is highly effective. Mixability: It doesn’t always mix smoothly and tends to clump. Again nature of the ingredient not the brand. The powder is very fine and non-gritty perfect for other mixings. Side effects: I had uncomfortable bloating the first time (2 scoops/ full glass), I recommend starting with (1 scoop or less/full glass) Dont rush it. Increase it from there as you grow tolerance. You may feel very full. - it helped me eat less!
