This is a high - quality Fisher & Paykel Lid Switch and OOB Wiring Harness Kit, part number FP002. It can replace genuine part numbers FP426457, 426457, FP426515, 426515, FP019L. It comes with a small reed switch that is perfect for early - model Fisher & Paykel washing machines as a lid switch. The kit also includes a wiring harness for the out - of - balance switch. At the control module end, the item has bare wires, and at the OOB switch end, it has 4.8mm spade terminals. The reed switch is safely enclosed in a plastic bracket. Closed - end splice crimp terminals are provided to connect the wires to the existing plug wires (you'll need to cut and join the existing wires). There are also 6.4mm spade crimp terminals for older F&P Phase 2 - Phase 4 models. In this case, you need to remove the 4.8mm crimp terminals on the new part and replace them with the larger 6.4mm ones. This kit fits older F&P washing machines from Smartdrive Phase 2 to Smartdrive Phase 6, including models like KE771, KE991, etc. If this switch fails, it may cause the machine not to stop and brake when the lid is lifted in spin mode or stop the machine from working all the time. It's easy to install and fully guaranteed. With over 25 years of experience supplying appliance parts to both trade and retail, you can buy with confidence.
Using this Fisher & Paykel Lid Reed Switch Kit is quite straightforward. First, identify your washing machine model to make sure this kit is the right fit. If your machine is from Smartdrive Phase 2 to Phase 6, you're good to go. When installing, at the control module end, you'll see bare wires. Connect them to the existing wires from the plug using the closed - end splice crimp terminals provided. You'll need to cut the existing wires before joining them. At the OOB switch end, it has 4.8mm spade terminals. But if you have an older F&P Phase 2 - Phase 4 model, remove these 4.8mm terminals and replace them with the 6.4mm spade crimp terminals in the kit. As for maintenance, keep the switch and wiring harness clean. Avoid getting them wet as moisture can cause damage. If you notice any signs of wear or if the machine starts having issues related to the lid switch, check the connections first. And remember, this kit comes with a full guarantee, so if you have any problems, you can reach out with confidence.
