    Default [FIXED] Installing Lid Switch?

    I just got the lid switch in the mail for my Maytag Dependable Care Plus LAT9704AAE.

    I was a smart guy and pulled the wires off thinking I was going to remember where they went. I did this about 3weeks ago.

    I have 4 figured out, I'm pretty sure of the other ones. I'm not certain though and I don't want to damage my $40 part.

    I need some help ASAP, tired of washing work clothes in the bathtub! I'm serious, in the BATHTUB.

    I have good news.

    I have a wiring diagram for your model, and its easy to read to boot.

    The lid switch and check switch are on the same lid switch bracket assembly:
    Manufacturer part number 22001682 is RepairClinic item number 1468


    Lid switch is the black one, check switch is the white one.

    do you maybe have a picture of the switch already installed? I'm horrible with schematics, I don't know where to start.

    Here's a close-up of it:


    The black wire from the timer connects to the SW(marked on the lid switch bracket assembly) on the lid switch, the double red wire connects to the other side of the lid switch, the other end of the red wire connects to the UL12 of the check switch, then the white wire connects to 30 on the check switch, then the double yellow wire goes to M on the check switch.
