Possible Causes

Faulty lid switch, Broken lid strike, Misaligned lid lock mechanism

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.
