The lid lock assembly sends a confirmation signal to the control board that the lid is securely closed. If the solenoid fails or the latch is physically broken, the washer will not initiate any cycle.
A failing lid lock can lose its electrical connection mid-wash, causing the control board to halt the cycle immediately as a safety precaution — often accompanied by error codes or flashing indicator lights.
Worn plastic tabs, a broken strike receiver, or a seized solenoid prevent the lid from clicking into the locked position, leaving the lid loose during operation.
When the control board detects a lid lock fault (all 4 indicator lights flashing in Group 1 and Group 2 pattern), the root cause is typically a failed lid lock assembly rather than the control board itself.
If the solenoid sticks in the engaged position, the lid remains physically locked even after the cycle completes, preventing the user from opening the washer to retrieve laundry.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Lid Lock the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer won't start even though the lid appears closed
⚠️ Cycle stops mid-wash and control panel shows a lid lock error code
⚠️ Lid feels loose or does not click/latch when pushed down
⚠️ Washer displays all 4 indicator lights flashing simultaneously (Group 1 and Group 2 fault pattern)
Quick test: With the washer unplugged, disconnect the lid lock connector and use a multimeter to check resistance between the blue and white wires. A reading of 0 ohms means the solenoid is stuck in the locked state and the assembly needs replacement.
