8581190009085 Genuine TL700 EVA16 Lid Reed Switch for Electrolux Group Top Loader Washing Machines, Lid Closed Sensor

Genuine part 8581190009085 is the lid reed switch listed for TL700 top loaders that run the EVA16 control. It belongs to the same Electrolux group family as the TL500 switch, 8581190009077, and the TL700 EWX14 version, but each one carries its own number. We don't hold a model list for it. Read the label on your old switch, or get the model and product number off the washer, before ordering.

How the lid reed switch works and what goes wrong

Top loaders won't spin with the lid open, and this switch is how the machine knows. It has no lever to wear out. Instead, a magnet set into the lid pulls the contacts together when the lid comes down. A faulty switch tends to show up as a washer that fills and then sits there, stops before the spin, beeps with a lid error, or behaves differently from one cycle to the next. Intermittent faults often come from a cracked switch body or a damaged lead rather than the magnet.

Changing the TL700 lid switch

Switch off at the wall and pull the plug out. Take a photo of the switch position and the cable route before unclipping anything. Seat the new switch fully in its holder so it sits at the same distance from the lid magnet as the old one did. Keep the lead clear of sharp edges and the lid hinge. Close the lid and run a rinse and spin to test.

Questions about this part

Can I use the TL500 switch in a TL700 machine?

They are listed as different parts, so we don't recommend swapping them. Order the version that matches the number on your old switch. If that's unreadable, our parts enquiry form lets you send the washer's model and product number for a check.
