Less expensive than a new washer!

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

When our Whirpool washer started working erratically during wash cycles my wife was ready to drag me to the store to buy a new machine. But, using the internet to research clothes washer problems I was able to pinpoint a potential solution. So, what choice would you make? Buy an inexpensive part and replace it yourself, call a service technician or buy a new machine? This was a no-brainer. Better to try the cheapest way first. What could you stand to lose except a few bucks and some tinker-time with the machine? A little tricky (but not impossible) replacement repair of the switch with the wife watching me like a hawk. With only a couple tools it took about 30 minutes and the washer works as good as new. It was winner, winner, favorite dinner after that! Saved myself a few hundred dollars too! Refer to the washing machine's manual (or look it up on the internet) and be careful with part numbers and washing machine models. I spent more time researching the problem than actually replacing the switch!

Using the model number of my washer I verified that this was the right replacement part for my door lid switch. The item arrived a couple days sooner than I expected, which was a nice surprise. I didn't bother reading the instructions provided in the packaging, rather I just viewed and re-viewed and re-viewed a video on YouTube to walk me through the replacement process. It was pretty simple overall. It did take me about 30-40 minutes total because I am a novice handyman.

Anyway, this replacement part is working as advertised, who knows how long it will last but it seems just as well made as the OEM product I replaced.

doubt it's really genuine OEM FSP, but it's a good clone.

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

Ordered this because it said it was a genuine OEM FSP part (ordered from North America HVAC). I was a bit ticked off when it arrived in a plain plastic bag (I've ordered FSP before, this had no FSP labeling on it) that only had a sticker with the 3949247 part number. The 3949247 part number is also nowhere on the switch itself. So I really have my doubts this is a genuine FSP product.

That being said, this switch appears to be a decent good clone. Length, wire protector, plug and switch itself look like original (well the old switch part broke apart and pieces went everywhere so can't really vouch for that). You'll need the 2 mounting screws for the switch from the old one so don't lose those. It hooked right up with no issues at all and seems to be working great. I just hope the switch itself is insulated well (can get water splashed on it easily) so that it lasts a long time. So the 4 stars instead of 5 is because of my doubts of it being genuine FSP after being advertised as such.

Symptom of a bad switch is that the tub will fill with water and agitate, but it won't run the spin cycles. If your switch falls apart like mine did you can unscrew the old switch, cut the switch off, strip the wires and twist them together (unplug the washer first!) and tape them up with electrical or duct tape so you can finish the washing cycle. But be aware that it will be able to run the spin cycle with the lid up so keep yer hands out of there!

First of all the seller is awesome! I ordered this on 3/17 and received it on 3/20, and I selected economy shipping. Ok, so for the product it was exactly what is pictured. I have a Kenmore washer and it fit good. I did have to change the plastic wire protector from the old part as the new one was to long for my model. It wasn't to bad, you just have to be careful not to pinch the wires to much when taking the new one off and putting the old one on. Other then that it fit perfectly. I just installed it today, so if i have any problems with it I will update, but as of right now it is great. Hope this review will be helpful for anyone ordering this in the future.

A GENUINE FSP Part

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a real FSP part and actually works correctly unlike the knockoff I bought on here at http://www.amazon.com/3949247-WASHING-MACHINE-WHIRLPOOL-KENMORE/dp/B0050KJOQ6 which completely failed after only 5 months usage. That one had a tell-tale issue - had to glue a shim to the top of it to get it to engage properly. After 5 months completely failed to engage. This one engages solidly prior to the lid closing completely, a sure sign that no matter how much the machine might jostle etc the switch will stay engaged. These things usually last years and I've never had a problem with genuine FSP parts over many years of fixing various appliances with them.

Very good replacement

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2018

This was a relatively easy repair and the new switch is working fine. Quality of the new switch is not noticeably any different than the original and fit was perfect for my Whirlpool Estate washer. I really liked being able to enter model number and being told it fits rather having to search for hours for correct part.

$$ Saved and Happy with this Simple DIY Replacement

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

Exact switch to replace the loose old switch on my 17-years old Whirlpool washer. After watching YouTube I found out the lid switch is the culprit my washer stayed quiet. It didn't drain the water (didn't go to the next cycle). The reason is that over time, the glue of the switch become loose. So a cheap simple fix is to tie a zip-tie over it -- then practically, you don't really need to buy a new one!! I was careless when I screwed the switch back I broke the switch socket :( it couldn't stay mounted. I ended up buying this new part. The DIY replacement was easy. Even with the new switch, before installing, I still recommend tying with 1 or 2 zip-ties over it to making really sure it won't come loose so easily. Now I'm happy this old washer works like it is a brand new again.
