This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Lid lock not engaging, Lid switch out of adjustment, Broken lid hinge preventing full closure, Control misinterpreting lid status

Safety First: Never force the washer to run with the lid open. Unplug before servicing.

Step 1 – Confirm lid closure: Ensure nothing is obstructing the lid. Press down on the front edge to verify it seats fully.
Step 2 – Observe lock indicator: Start a cycle and watch for the lid lock light. If it does not illuminate, suspect the lock or wiring.
Step 3 – Inspect hinges and strike: Replace bent hinges or a damaged strike that prevents proper engagement.

If the lid closes properly but F5E7 continues, replace the lid lock assembly and re-test.
