    That Lid Lock latch contains two switches, a solenoid and some very complicated fragile mechanics. One switch is the lid down/closed switch that is normally open. It cuts power to the solenoid until the lid is closed. The second switch is normally closed and is open when the solenoid is energized. The solenoid moves up a small white plastic dead bolt that locks the lid closed or open. It is possible for the dead bolt to get out of sequence and you then cannot close the lid. Since you cannot close the lid the solenoid cannot be energized. If the solenoid cannot be energized then the dead bolt cannot be toggled. The program checks the Lid Lock status and operation during wash cycles. My original Lid Lock rusted away as the metal parts are very small and thin. The new replacement Lid Lock had the Red and Blue wires reversed. The Lid Lock circuit attempted to energize a normally closed switch and blew the triac on the control board. This Lid Lock is the worst part of the machine. The program can also get out of sequence in thinking the latch is closed when open and wise versa. Some engineers just need a good hard kick between the legs for not applying the KISS rule.

    Im so glad you found this video helpful! This reset is good for any vertical modular washer (VMW). In other words it works for pretty much any top load washer boughten n the last 0-15 years that wasn't made by LG or Samsung (they as well have a similar reset but isnt as universal as the reset you learned). VMW's are distinguishable by the ever so hated lid lock device, not to be confused with the old school lid switch device that allowed you to open the lid at anytime without waiting for the washer to come to a stop and the lid lock to release. If anyones intersted VMW's are sold by Whilrpool Corp.who in return owns almost every american appliance brand such as kenmore, maytag, amana, roper, inglis, crosley and many other brands they are a few brands away from monopolizing the appliance indusrty in the US. Word to the wise: an $800 Maytag VMW lasts just as long as the $550 Roper or Amana VMW and has all the same parts. The only difference is the name and the price. Think of it as buying a shirt from nike and one from walmart. The shirt from walmart is way cheaper and will get the job done, If you think putting more money into appliance will get you more life out of it youll be sad to find out that no matter the price of the appliance they are all pretty much lasting 3-5 years only now not the 20+ we are expecting. Which appliance do i recommend? The generic VMW's sold by Roper, Crosley and Amana. There just as good, last as long and cost less than the Maytag VMW's. I also recommend always adding the 5 year protection plan add on for about $120 which will pay for all future repairs for the next 5 years which will pay for itself 2 or 3 times over after year 2 or 3. The 3 year add on is a waste of money because the machines typically last just long enough to get past 3 years. I hope this tutorial and explanation helps you, your friends and your family god bless you and thank you for watching!

    Maytag, commercial residential washer. MVWP575GW Thanks again for your response! I do not have the machine yet, as i won't buy unless i can bypass that lid lock so i can see all the cycles agitating. You did a demo wash cycle on this machine, so I hope u still have it to do a demo on bypassing lid lock. The link u sent me above said maytag demo. But it is Amana. I think i saw a video u put of maytag, but it is not clear and not the model i am looking for. Following any written directions is not nearly as good as seeing video. If it is not going to be easy for me to do on my own, i will not be able to buy machine, which i have already done months of research on. It may be too difficult as i am visually impaired and have no one else to do this. Can u do video soon. I have no machine now and cant even drive to laundromat.

    just found this, it seems the easiest way to bypass the lock is to just remove the lock arm from the lid and put it in the lock so it can still work, just need a star or square driver head to remove it. The lid will sit a little high when closed, but small price to pay.

    JUST TELL PEOPLE YOU 'CAN'T' BYPASS THE LID LOCK ON THESE NEWER WASHERS ! Older machines sure a direct line tricking it into thinking its locked worked. But these newer machines want to unlock then lock in between cycles. They did that for a reason and not safety they want there 70 bucks from consumers for a part that will almost surely break that's why they did this. So unless u want some tweaker looking switch hanging from your washing machine that you have to go flip along with up down left right on off whatever he said then just find you a broken washer on marketplace that someone is giving away for price of u hauling and take the part off it

    This 100% works - Part # W10682535 is the locking mechanism/switch he is modify and bypassing. If you have this model washer as pictured in his video do the following: 1. Unplug the S.O.B. lmao and let sit for a few mins to discharge capacitors and what not. 2. there are 3 5/16's screws on the back side that hold on the silver plate which surrounds the hot and cold water intake ports, 2 screws on the far sides and 1 in the middle. GENTLY allow the plate to just slide down the water lines and hang there so it can watch you reverse engineer maytag fuckery smh.....after the plate is free then you can gently slide the entire top of your washer forward say 1/2-3/4 of an inch.... meaning towards you if you are standing the the front of the machine. Then you can lift the front/top up a half inch or so then allowing you to look through the gap finding sideways L hinge/brackets on both the left and right side that hold the TOP of the bottom main BODY of the washer.....WHICH you can to shimmy the top of the washer that is loose forward and backwards until everything lines up and you can simply lift the front TOP part of the washer up. Doing this then simply lean it up and back towards the rear of the machine. Then let it rest on your head while you find the black locking switch underneath the lid in the front right. Grab both sides of what now will be the "top" of this switch and simply slide it up away from the floor and towards the front closets lip of the washer and it should simply snap up and free. THEN you can simply follow the black spiral wrapped flex back towards the control panel area....., if you need more cord to work with you can use a flat head screw driver and pry out on the "U" shaped metal brackets and slide the cord up and out of them..... 3. WITH THE UNIT OFF, BREAKER off....and if you don't know what you're doing then best best call the power company and have them pull the meter on your house lmao.... cut the black switch part off to expose the 3 wires he's talking about and go to town Rick James. 4. ONLY note I would add is, and being an electrician I cannot figure out why, but if something doesn't work right then swap the wire combos with the leads (NOT the wires from your washer around BUT the blue/white - Red combos with the terminals/leads on your make shift fast and furious NOS button around and it should work....just have to give it a few tries learning the cycles and playing with the 3 second reset/start button and you'll get it.

    As well a good note is that the lid lock voltage is NOT a control voltage meaning low voltage DC....meaning you can't just use other videos to insert "jumper" wires or plug the washer in and try touching wires together to see what works...if it was low voltage you on THEORY could get by doing this BUT Maytag made theirs "high" voltage a/c (120/208volts) so don't attempt to play around because you can and WILL over volt something destroying it. Seriously, I know what I'm talking about...do NOT do that for this model machine guys. Follow his video then my guide in the comments....make sure any bare copper/aluminum (silver wire) connections are covered....make sure the configuration works and THEN unplug everything and make all connections "permanent" and safe.....wire nuts and tape....butt splices and tape.....shrink tubing....Joe Biden and Kamala say it and told it to "c'mon mannnn".... Remember this is water, a "semi bonded" to ground body and electricity, jokes aside it can be dangerous.

    ahahahaha no wonder people fuck up their washing machine - and yes the door lid locks are expensive, if you get the original, some people get it half the price on Amazon and then complain that it stopped working after 3 cycles :P It's worth paying for a brand new lock and peace of mind, much cheaper than having a tech come over and charge you a couple of hundreds of $. What's worse is that those lid locks are cheaply made, very poorly made, no wonder they fail. They probably have a very low limit of lock/unlock cycles before the mf breaks apart.
