Exactly the same part as the one originally installed at the factory.
The pricing was good and it was delivered quite quickly. It came with a new plunger which was slightly longer than the one that was already there. I used it and discarded the previous one even though it probably wasn't necessary. Dead easy to replace if anyone has any concerns. Thank you PartSelect.ca.

No power on washing machine
I removed the rear panel using a phillip screwdriver and a small wrench. I located the lid switch and popped it loose (no tools needed) and put the new one in. Power came back on washing machine.

Washer would not run without opening and closing lid several times.
Replaced lid switch assembly. Unplug washer. The console on this washer can be removed without sliding the washer from the wall. Just lean over the drum.

Pop lid switch and plunger out. (Both part of lid switch assembly.) Replace. Connect plug to switch. (Could plug washer in and test at this point. Unplug.) Reassemble.

slammed lid and broke lid switch
it took a little longer to fix the lid switch becasue the you have to figure out how to install the switch after you takethe old one out. The old one popped out but the new one needs some twisting and pressure. It also is an ackward position to work in on the back of the washer front the front. I think the instructions could have been much better by warning the installer to pay attention when you take the old one out. But it worked and we fixed the problem for $22 and four days of waiting for the part.

The washer did not start. The only thing that would work was the fascet switch would add water.
I opened up the control panel on the back by removing the 4 screws and then used the print that was inside to check where the power went from the power cord. I checked the power at diferent places and determined that I did not have power coming from the lid switch with the door up or down. You could here the switch click when you opened and closed the door but aperantly it was not working. After going on your web site and looking at the other posts I realixed that there was a fuse link in the switch that was probably blown. I ordered the switch and it was a simple matter to replace when it arrived. The washer works great once more.

Washer shut down while filling w/ lid up
I did a continuity check on the lid switch assembly since it was a) the easist to get to, and b) my wife's descreiption of how rthe washer stopped made me think it had something to do with the lid switch. I found that all of the contacts were open regardless of the position of the switch, and I also discovered that there was a fuse inside the swithch. I decided to order a replacement part based on the presence of the fuse. Upon repacling the fuse (a snap in affair), the washer was working again... my wife was impressed and I was happy!

I checked the lid switch and it works. I replaced the washer lid cam; however, when the lid is closed the lid cam doesn't reach the plunger to push it back and activate the lid switch.
For model number MAV6451AGW
Hi David, Thank you for the question. I suggest checking the hinges to make sure there is no visible damage that would prevent the lid from closing down flush keeping the cam from reaching the plunger. You can also open up the top to see if all the screws in the bracket holding the plunger and guide tube in the proper placement. Hope this helps!
