@AlphabetCo-lk9jo Is correct - the light will also flash on other faults - I recently replace my shift actuator and splutch assembly - a few weeks after apparently the nut hold the pulley to the splutch came loose because I didn’t grease the plastic gears and the vibrations made nut come loose and belt come off - After the belt came off the fault -FLASHING lid lock came back . This has also happened when I installed the ring the shifter actuator hand move upside down . Always calibrate after fix and if you need access to this inside of washer and lid is locked after you turn of washer - unplug and plug it back in and turn on washer and it’ll unlock . ❤❤love your vids just sharing some scenarios I’ve encountered these errors . Last thing I’d change is the board. Just like you did.

Great advice! Appreciate the kind words as well!

Thank you for your video, my machine locked after it drained with my clothes inside. The locked light is on and I tried what u did and the lights were off when i plugged it back in. After I replugged it the light switch & turned it back on it went back to the same. Light is on & stuck ...please help..ive already dont diagnosics and the code is F5 E3 and i dont know where to go from there 😢

Maytag centennial replaced lid lock harness. Followed your video and after unplugging the harness and the machine. Then plugged back in the power and the lid lock light did not come on. So it’s not the board But I can’t get the washer to function. The sensing light is on and so is the lid lock light

I opened up the panel, disconnected the connector that pertains to the lid locked light. I then connected it to power and the lid light is off. Different to what you have in the video

My kenmore sudenly stoped with clothes and water inside, lid light was blinking door wasn’t opening. So i used screwdriver and open it. When I disconnected door switch there’s no light and nothing, i try to bypass switch it flashing. So bypass not going to work I will need actualy switch relay ?

Can you do a video for maytag washing machine not powering on?

Exactly what I was looking for . TY !!! Also, is there a way to change the Amount of water that the machine fills up with? Even in the "Bulk Bedding" setting there is not enough water for my personal washing preference. TIA for any advice.

There is no way to adjust water. You can only do that on the old machines. These are high efficiency machines

Thanks ....What do You think about having a new lid lock not installed, i mean outside the washer then You plug it on the control board in order to compare with the old one?

In order to test it, you will need to have the striker engage it as well

Hi duct tape mechanic, what does it mean if the light goes out after the 30 second unplug?

I have the exact same washing machine with the exact same problem

Thank you bro

Sam problem with mine different machine additionally mine won’t open because of the lid lock. I did the test you did and it open but still blinking so I’ll have to remove the board also

Good luck!

At 10:42, you mention taking the striker off the lid and inserting it into the receptacle. I would like to do that permanently so that I can add more water after the soak cycle. Will the machine continue to function if I just insert the striker into the receptacle permanently?

I think it will continue to function. Not sure how good of an idea adding more water is (I'm guessing manually). You will most likely destroy your suspension rods

Do you know to just fix lid lock? I unplugged the cable and lid lock goes off so I know it’s that but How can I get the washer to open to replace clothes

Replaced the Lid Lock, didn't work. Replaced the Board, that didn't work. I'll try and update after I figure it out.

Absolutely. Kenmore, maytag, and whirlpool are all the same brand. Regardless of model number they also have similar issues

My I unplugged the lid lock and plugged the washer back and mine is NOT blinking. I replaced the lid lock cable thing and still lid is “locked” how do I fix it???

If it's not the board it's the locking mechanism.

My washer's lid lock was flasing while it was draining. After that, it just turned off.

Lara, did you ever find out what caused this problem? I have same..

The washer thinks the door is locked, but also knows the door is open. So it faults. If you use your finger to press the door closed switch at the lock actuator, and power cycle the washer, upon restarting it will cycle the lock, and unlock. With you holding the door switch closed, it will unlock and remove the fault state and return to normal.

My Kenmore series 500 has this problem, I have pulled the connector as shown here, lid lock light also remains flashing... However my lid IS locked...I've tried power on/off, resetting circuit breaker, running reset cycle... Nothing has helped. Not only locked throughout all of this, there is a load of wet, off balanced, laundry that I am unable to access. About to try to find video to access the lid lock to try to unlock, before I d thought maybe you might have a suggestion to unlock the lid. Thanks!!!

@ramadasa77 I hope you were able to get your clothes I would’ve just took the entire top panel off usually there’s two tabs at the front of the machine in the crevice between the top panel and the front panel and two screws at the back holding down the top of machine.

God bless you! I have an Amanda and it would flash the lid lock when I press the start button. I unplugged it for around 1 min, held down the lock and started it for a moment. Haven't had the issue since.

Only way to reset board is by unplugging it. There is a way to reset/recalibrate the washer, I have a video on that on my channel

What about the lock won’t lock and start the load

Can I just unhook the lid lock and use the washer without it. Why would anyone want to hook it back up?
