Look at the rear of the control panel on the ends and find the screws that hold the panel to the washer top. Back out the screws until you can slide the panel forward about and inch and flip it over toward the back of the unit. Under the panel, remove the plug to the lid switch and release the gold colored brackets on each end. This will allow the top of the unit to tip forward off the frame (pay attention to how it came off). After you change the switch, make sure you get the top back on just as you took it off. There are tabs on the frame in the rear that must fit into the slots of the washer housing. Reinstall the brackets (if they don't go on easily, the cabinet isn't on correctly) and the lid switch connector, then reinstall the control panel. Hope this helps.
