How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the washer before servicing the lid lock or switch.
- Step 1 – Inspect lid lock assembly: Check for cracks, loose mounting screws, or misalignment with the lid strike.
- Step 2 – Check harness continuity (advanced): Use a multimeter to verify continuity through the lid lock/switch when the lid is closed.
- Step 3 – Reseat connectors: Disconnect and reconnect the lid lock harness at both the lock and control board.
If F5E3 recurs after these checks, replace the lid lock assembly. Persistent issues after replacement may indicate a control board problem.
