1190203008 Genuine Knock Off Switch for Electrolux Group Top Load Washing Machines, Also Listed as 119020300 Lid Switch

This genuine Electrolux knock off switch, part 1190203008, is a safety switch from the Electrolux group's top load washing machine range. The same number also appears in nine digit form as 119020300, where it's described as the lid switch. On a top loader this switch stops the spin when it's tripped, protecting you and the machine. Match the number on your old switch before ordering, as there's no model list on file.

Top loader won't spin or stops mid cycle

Top load washers rely on a safety switch to cut the spin if the lid is lifted, and many designs also use it to stop the machine when an unbalanced load knocks the tub against it. When the switch fails, the washer may fill and agitate but never spin, stop partway through, or keep pausing as if the lid were open. A switch stuck closed is a safety risk because the drum can keep spinning with the lid up. Check the actuator on the lid and the switch lever for damage, then test the switch for continuity before replacing it.

Replacing the knock off switch

Unplug the washer and turn off both taps. Depending on the model, the switch is reached by lifting the top panel or removing the rear cover. Photograph the wires and the switch position before removing it, as the lever must line up with the lid or tub to work. Fit the new switch, then test that lifting the lid stops the spin.
