This lid lock, also known as a door lock, is a genuine OEM replacement part for your washing machine. The lid lock keeps your washer lid closed during the washing cycle. If this part is broken, your washer may not run because it thinks the door is open, or it will not keep the door locked during the wash cycle. To replace this part, make sure you disconnect power to the appliance and wear work gloves.

Customer Repair Stories

The lid switch which signals that the washer door is closed malfunctioned. Even with the lid closed the washer would not spin because the washer was detecting the lid as open because of the faulty switch

The replacement part looked absolutely nothing like the defective part. The old part was easily accessible and was easily unplugged from the wiring harness. I assume when the new part came, I would just plug it into the wiring harness, snap some of the trim pieces in place and be done. 5 minutes. But no. The replacement part was completely different and came with its own wiring harness and length
of wire which had to be installed. The installation of the wiring harness was extremely complicated which involved popping off the control panel of the washer, prying up the top and disconnecting some other pieces to complete the install. There should have been a clear warning on the replacement part, that it was completely different and likely too difficult for a non-professional repair man.

Washer wouldn't fill, wash, spin

Use putty knife to unlock top panel from base. Remove 2 bolts from back of washer holding control section. Don't take completely off. 2 bolts needs to be removed to unsecure top from base. Lastly 2 screws hold lid in place. Remove lid. Slide top panel to left just to access lid lock. Unplug sensor. 1 screw and tabs hold lock in place. Watch position coming out so you don't get confused putting new lock in. Squeeze tabs, replace screw. plug in sensor. Reverse procedure to put top section back together.

Customer Repair Stories

The main control panel of my washer needed replaced due to user error.

This was a very easy repair. It is basically and 'plug & play'. Be sure to separate the panel from the silver back plate slowly and carefully and note all connections, particularly the orange hollow tube connection. Every connector can only go into one corresponding spot. The most time spent was removing the screws to get inside the housing.
