I have a Simpson Genesis 505 washing machine, which is now doing nothing. I suspect some plastic part, has broken and the (microswitch?) is not being pressed on with the lid closed. I can't hear it any more, with the lid coming down.

Can anyone tell me where the switch is mounted and how I can access it? Is there a parts diagram that anyone knows of? Thanks to anyone for help!!

It can be adjusted so it works. Open lid, put right hand facing up through the gap between top of bowl and top deck, on right hand side just below the control panel. You will feel the lid switch actuator, On it is a plastic screw facing down. Turn it to the right to screw it up about 2 turns. Then check lid coming down. You should hear switch click about 10 - 20mm before lid fully down, if not give it another turn.
