The lid lock switch signals the control board that the lid is closed and safe. A failed switch prevents the washer from ever initiating a cycle.
Intermittent internal contact failure causes the control board to lose the lid-closed signal, halting the wash or rinse cycle unexpectedly.
The spin cycle requires a confirmed lid-lock signal above 50 RPM. A defective switch blocks the board from enabling spin, leaving clothes soaking wet.
Fault codes related to lid lock are triggered when the switch fails to send or hold the correct electrical signal during operation.
A worn solenoid or broken actuator tab inside the switch prevents the lid from latching or releasing properly after the cycle ends.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Lid Lock Is the Culprit
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer won't start at all — lid lock signal never reaches the control board
⚠️ Cycle stops or pauses mid-wash or mid-spin without explanation
⚠️ Error code related to lid lock appears on the display (e.g., lid lock fault)
⚠️ Lid does not click or lock down when you close it, or stays locked and won't release after cycle ends
🔍 Quick test: Unplug the washer, open and firmly close the lid, then reconnect power. If the fault clears temporarily but returns, the switch mechanism has failed internally — replace it rather than the whole lid assembly. Always unplug before servicing.
