I did the diagnostics on my whirlpool washer. It was the washer lid lock. Purchased the part, followed the video and changed it myself. Pretty good for a 65 year old lady.

I did the same thing, ordered the part, and before it arrived, a repair man ran a reset procedure that fixed the issue without needing to replace a part.

The Sears repair guy wanted to charge me $350 for this repair. Thank you for doing this; you’re doing a great service.

Yeah! I’m fifty and can’t hardly see out of my right eye but I fixed it!!! My son helped with holding up the lid but I can’t believe how easy a fix! Taking the lid bolts and stuff was crazy as no one is technical in any form. These newer electronic models are a mess to take apart. But after I purchased the two tools and the lid switch and lock replacement it was under sixty bucks. I’m so happy. I was quoted 300 plus the part to fix. It took almost fourty minutes but I think anyone technically savy could do it in fifteen minutes. Yes my blankets smell like downy once again. Thank you!!!!!!

The part was $50 and tax, and this video provided perfect instructions for repair! We now have a working washer again!

Woo Hoo!!! Just fixed my Amanda Washer by myself. Lid Lock Switch. And I'm a Female, 69. Thanks to your KZread Video. I bought the part $57.00 at An Appliance Parts Store. And I used a 1/4 " Nut Driver on my Black and Decker Drill. I plugged the washer in the wall after I installed the Part, but the light was still flashing, unplugged it 2 more times, and even turned off and on, the circuit breaker. That seemed to "reset" it. Thank you!!!

I am a young mom of 2 (a 2 year old and a 4 month old) and because of this video, I was able to replace my part and get my washer working by myself with my kids playing nearby. Thank you! The only thing I would recommend is showing how to remove the bezel because the repair kit comes with a replacement bezel to guarantee proper function after replacing the lid lock. I did not replace the bezel at first and the washer was still having the same problem and was not working. I finally figured out how to remove it and had to remove all the back paneling again and then replace.

Songre Osmenep The lid lock was likely not the problem with your washer. It could be a main control issue but the only way to know for sure is to do some electrical testing with a volt meter and the wiring diagram from inside the machine. Enter your washing machine's model number in our website's repair help for troubleshooting information specific to your washer.

If you enter your model number into our website it will show you a list of parts that are compatible with your machine. It could very well be the part featured in this video, but we can't say for sure without knowing the model number.

Hi Nick, we suggest that you post your washer's model number and questions on a reliable appliance repair forum. We wish you a fast and successful repair.

Unfortunately we can't offer repair help off of our KZread channel. I would recommend that you search online for a reputable repair blog or forum for an answer.

Is the same part of a locking mechanism? Repair guy said it's what's wrong with my mom's washer. Thanks

I wanna know how to bypass the lid lock, any ideas?

how can i check my lid switch.?how to bypass this kind of switch?

will this lid-lock part work for a maytag? The machine in the video looks just like my maytag also the wiring in the back is layed out the same as mine.

The newest replacement (Jan 2019 for me) does NOT have the mounting screws at 1:35. The white bezel is attached to the black plastic lock mechanism. You slide old lock, bezel and all, to the left and it comes out in one piece. Reverse that for putting in the new lock until it clicks into place. Also, my replacement lock came already in the LOCKED position, witch i figured out when i tried to shut the lid after completing installation. I kinda poked my finger in the and got the new lock to unclick. Overall, great video, it made this repair very easy.

Joe Hertweck i have the same problem did you just close the lid hard enough for it to click or how did you do that

Any idea when after I plug in the new replacement part the washer just won’t turn on but, If I plug back in the old part it will turn on but says lid locked

Sorry for this question, but what is that tool you're using and what size is the attachment to fit the screws?

I would like to jump the four wires to the lid switch while I order a new switch. Which two or more wires should I connect to make the washer think the lid is shut?

A maytag washer lid locks removal &replacemeny.that dasher free the locking device on the washer and lid.

Does the lid lock/switch also control the draining and spin cycles? My washer wont drain. I replaced the pump , but that's not the problem.

Praise God! Are you , the parts clinic, listening to the customer replies? and relaying the messages to product suppliers/makers? Will you explain in the video why this part was designed and put in place? Hope this is helpful to both sides.

Hi Repair Clinic I did a replacement of the above and now when I plug in the Machine nothing is happening no lights no agitation nothing! I open the back and observer there is a small green light on the Control board lit but no other functions are working after replacing the Lid lock switch..could it be that I need to go in diagnostics mode of the washer or there is some other problem?

I own Whirlpool washer WTW5000dw3, my washer is inoperable until I get my lid lock replacement. The washer stopped working with a load of laundry in it, I have removed all items and I have scooped as much water out as I can by hand, are there any tips on how to manually drain the washer while waiting for my parts?

Where from can I get this lid lock i need one pls here in Melbourne

What could be the problem on a whirlpool washer it starts and fills up and spins, towards the end the lid lock light comes on and it stops and the lid opens, when it should stay locked until the end of the cycle, someone could please tell me what's the problem and how much it would be to fix it thanks Becky

I just brought this washer no longer than 4 months and there already a lid problem the machine was filling up while the lid was wide open so where i got it i would either want a brand new one because they were giving me a hard time on the phone

Please HELP Where does one git the replacement?

Sure would have been nice if somebody had mentioned the reset function before going through all the diagnostic process and ordering parts that were not needed.

if wash plate is not removing what wiil i do to remove

This lid switch has been replaced with a w10838613. There are no screws now. Anyone know how to do this one?

May switch to flashing light after new lock is installed for a few seconds. Then lock again and run.

I was able to change the part out no issues. However, still same dU code. What can be the issue?

Well, this repair didn't work for my similar situation. I checked underneath the washer to check if the belt was broken but it is intact. I'm not sure where else to go with this :o( UPDATE: This was not my problem. After further research it was determined that the SHIFT ACTUATOR was faulty. I replaced that and the washer is back up and running. Hopefully this helps anyone out.

Great vid. Very easy to follow. I did this and the sensor is sill flashing. What could I have done wrong?

@repairclinic

10 жыл бұрын

I would check the actuator on the lid to make sure it is not broke and is engaging the new lid switch. The wiring is hard to mess up because the harness only plugs in one way. You could double check the connection at the control board if you haven’t already.

Where can i buy a lid lock for this type if the machine WTW7340XW2?

How do you install it while. The lock is still lock

Mine gets stuck and doesn’t lock so I replaced the locking mechanism and still gets stuck what can I do next

Only thing I forgot to mention is I didn’t replace the new bezel. I could see the lock was damaged it had no play or give in the springs it was a mess it fell apart. I’m keeping the new bezel just in case but I didn’t take it off. I only replaced lock and stricker.

I would preferr for someone that knows what their doing to come out and fix. I am disabled and cannot do this my self.

I don't have mounting screws on the lid lock, how can I remove old one.

I like how the box says "sounds different than washers before, is different, works different..... blah blah blah..." yah they say that so you can't complain about funny noises that might be a big problem! way to cover yourselves whirlpool and roper.

All these “safety precautions” when we have some kids eating colorful Tide Pods. The *lid lock should be optional* or the manufacture should incorporate some type of disengagement switch. There’s no lock for garbage disposals, vacuum cleaners, fans, electric blenders or mixers.
