How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the lid switch.
- Check lid switch operation: Listen for a click when closing the lid. If no click, the switch may be faulty.
- Inspect lid strike: Ensure the plastic strike on the lid is intact and properly aligned with the switch.
- Test switch continuity: Remove the top panel and test the lid switch with a multimeter. Replace if it does not close when the lid is shut.
- Reassemble and test spin: After replacing the switch or strike, run a spin cycle to confirm operation.
