Thanks to your video tutorial, I was able to replace my lid lock myself. My washer is working again!

My damn washer has had this problem so many times and is only 3 years old I’m so aggravated with it! I swear they design these washers to malfunction on purpose. Ours has the issue with the lid lock too but my husband takes off the panel and cleans the motherboard due to moisture so that can also be an issue but this video is top notch if we ever need to replace the lid lock device. Showing how to check the code is so genius too! I feel like I learned some secret hack no one knows about 😂

Had this very problem, was ready to buy a whole new washer instead saw the video, ordered the replacement lock part listed and low and behold fixed the issue! Thanks so much!

Give you about 1 year to replace it again. It’s the cheapest part I’ve ever seen. They expect this lock to work twice each load and to last 10plus years they should all be fired.

Great video, my friend my wife is now going to be happy because I actually fixed the washer myself lol thank you!!!

This is a on going problem. As said it returns even if you replace. Takes a while but it will. If you want to fix your problem. Replace it or unscrew switch, open switch cover and clean the lock slide contacts. You will see that it’s dirty and not making connection. Easy fix takes 10min. Find some dielectric grease after cleaning and coat for a long term fix. Factory put this grease on but very small amount. Once it wears off the connection corrodes.

There two 1/4” screws on the very back panel. One on each side. Remove them, then go to the front of washer and pull the “top” of washer towards you. The top will slide about 1” forward then you lift up. The switch will also have two screws holding it on. Remove. The plastic housing if split in half by using clips.

What a pain in the ass to have to replace this part after only 2 yrs and the problem is not replacing it I’m handy it took about 30 min but your replacing the original cheapest pos you ever saw with the exact same cheap pos replacement part. Everyone responsible for making this part approving the install of this part should be fired. And take that stupid 10yr warranty sticker off the lid it covers nothing and def don’t cover any of these cheap ass plastic parts.

Yeah, Maytag is not all what it used to be. Purchased an older analog version many years ago on the used market. Best washer I ever owned/used. Regret getting rid of it. Indeed, that 10 year warranty sticker means absolutely nothing. Don’t believe me? Try making a claim when anything fails on it. In less than 3 years I’ve had to replace the drum gears and magnet etc. and now this locking mechanism. Having said all that, I will say that I do like the onboard diagnostics and the repairs are simple. Now, if only they made a legacy washer and dryer with all these new features… that would be something.

Thanks so much for this information/video! Cost me less than $40 to get the part off Amazon and replace it!

Do you have a link to the part on amazon? I need to order one.

This video was extremely helpful totally going to try to repair this myself because I already had a repairman out and he said it was the panel it was must not be working of course if that’s true I would just get a new wash machine but I really think he didn’t really know what he was talking about…my machine seems like it tries to lock than if it can’t I pick up the front of the machine a tiny bit and trip it and then it will work then it starts to fill and agitate and then after like two minutes it’ll stop. I wonder if the lock sensor sensors that it’s no longer locked or something and that’s why it stops. What do you think?

Thank you

Thanks!

I slammed the lid and got fixed. Maybe the lock mechanism it was just stuck worth a try slammed under your own responsibility.

A part number for the new part in the video would really help.

Mine has no problem like this. Whenever you turn the knob to put it on a wash setting it randomly jumps to any setting. You can fiddle with the knob enough to get it to jump to the right setting but it's annoying. Like you can still go forward and back between two settings, but it'll randomly jump to a setting if you turn any more notches from that. All other buttons work normal. It's just the knob does what it wants.

i press temp, soil, spin the same order but it wont pull the diagonostics up... Any reason why? I have ther Bravos XL model too.

I have one identical to this one on the video. Mine started to turn on by itself and it will start the cicle. All of the lights will come on and on the screen the remaining time will be flashing along with the letters Lt (or at leas the last letter appears to be a lower case t) . you guys have any idea what’s going on my my washer? Besides being possessed!

My top load washer trips the breaker after a load. Any idea of what it might be? Model is Maytag MVWB765FW2?

Hi Bearded Appliance repair guy! The power button is turning on by it self, and staying on. Any suggestions on how to figure the problem? I have the same washer as this video. Thanks bro!

I'm getting E1 F8

Do you have to put it in diagnostic mode to get the error codes?

Great video thank you. But how do you get the lid off to access the lock? Is there a video on that as well please? Thank you.

unscrew three screws in the back first all three lineup together they're holding your little place then pull your lid forward. It's on little metal clips and you'll feel it and they can lift it straight up and then you're gonna find two metal clips one on each side one is hard to get to that salon your left facing the washer the one on your right you'll see it but they're metal and you have to pinch those or get somebody else to pinch them, or look for another video that says how to get the bravo XL washer lid off they're pretty detailed

What’s the part number. Just diagnosed mine and need to order it

I have this exact same washer. It does not letting water in at the wash cycle . so I thought it was the water inlet valve. So I replaced it. Ran the diagnostics on it the water started to fill. So I thought we were good to go. So when I started a load the water would not come on. But every time I would do the test diagnostics on it the water would work. Someone said it could be my motherboard. What do you think it may be?

I have power to unit but no power to controls. The motor has continuous humming sound but nothing happens. When I unplug unit then re plug there is probably 2 minutes then the humming starts. I thought it was coming from drain motor so replaced that but problems continue. When listening closely at floor level It sounds as if motor is the issue. Please advise, thanks Bruce

We have the X model and the lid lock had an issue so we replaced it. Now it still doesn't work and gives E3 F5 just the same as if we did nothing. Sometimes it will go to 34 minutes and the right side of the display is lit but the right side isn't lit but still it just sits there. Will hitting it with a sledge do any good?

All you have to do is put the washer into diagnostic mode. Then get to the 000 function to test the lid lock. I appreciate the video but the average DIY people are not going to use an Ohm meter, nor is it needed to test these washers. There are many videos like Ben's Appliance and Junk and he walks through many procedures with this style washers and many others.

@user-cx8xt1sf6l That's good. I have one myself and use it every day. I rebuild washers and dryers and I work at an appliance parts store. Most people don't have a multimeter. To test the lid lock and most other features on a washer, a multimeter is unnecessary. That's why there is a code system built into the machine. On a dryer, you can definitely benefit from a multimeter.

Mine will sense and you can see the basket turning it will switch to wash and then it goes back to sensing it does this a few times then shuts off??? No codes or anything if anyone has any suggestions I’d appreciate it.. it does this on any cycle I set it on and any way I set the water hot or cold and spin cycle it don’t matter . Norm wash to bedding it does the same thing the lid locks washer acts normal but won’t go into wash mode from sensing.

You can lift the entire lid, plus the little white part underneath it up by unscrewing two screws in the back that attach it to the washer and sliding it forward you'll hear it or see it move out there's little clips that just hold it in place then to put it back on you just put it on top of those little clipsand slide back

My old and new control panel are acting both the same they light up but I can't change any of the button options and the error code I get is F2E1 stuck key, I have power cycled many times, I am confused why with a new control panel it is doing exactly the same thing.
