Need to remove top cover of GE WPXQ3090T2WW top load washer

the magnetic lid switch thats mounted along the right side of where the lid sits is bad remove front cover and unclip it from underneath the top cover its a g.e. part number-- wh12x10334

your lid safety switch under the top cover and lid is bad,you need to remove control panel and front and top covers to replace

your lid safety switch is faulty,this switch controls spin and agitate cycles the lid needs to be closed so this switch will be closed to make the circuit,when its bad its open all the time and can't operate these cycles,you will need to remove the top cover to replace this switch

your lid switch underneath the top is defective and you need to remove the top and front cover to replace it

Most likely you'll need a new motor, you can check the belt, to see if its attached around the big pulley. To access, you'll need to pop the front cover off the unit, it has two tabs you push in, on the front, where the top lid meets the front cover. Use a flat-head, be careful not to scratch your paint.


You can also, take off your back panel, on the control console, and remove the wiring diagram, you can diagnose this washer yourself, because the motor has a blinking light that will indicate to you, what is going on with your unit, it will tell the problem for you.


Please take a look at this website, about half-way down, as it could also be your lidswitch.

Two clips between front panel and top, push clips with small screwdriver pull front panel out.

Replace the machine with a top loader and you'll never have a leaking gasket again! Worked at National Linen for a while and the floors had drains in them and were always wet! Needless to say the pros have the same problem you do! ;)

You don't have to remove the washer top. Use a putty knife to push the tabs in on the left and right side, about two inches from the sides, at the top seam of the front panel. Front panel pulls forward and lifts off bottom pegs. Lid switch has a tab you need to push toward the center of the switch (its on the back side of the switch) which will allow the switch to push up. twist the switch and pass it back down through the washer top.

there are two spring tabs between the front cover and top lid of the machine.. i used a small screwdriver and stiff puddy knife. you have to push in the tab and then lift up..pins will stay in the lid... slide out of the front panel

As I have not received a response, I'm assuming these hints have taken care of your problem. If you have any more troubles, feel free to drop me a note back.
