Lid lock fails to engage signal to control board — washer sits idle after pressing Start even though water inlet is fine.
Wash cycle starts normally but halts before agitation or spin because the lid lock loses continuity during operation.
Control panel displays a lid lock fault code (e.g., E5 or lid-lock blink pattern) indicating the lock switch is not confirming a secure closed position.
Solenoid inside the lock assembly fails to retract, trapping the lid in the locked position at the end of the wash cycle.
Because the control board uses the lid lock signal as a safety interlock, a failed lock prevents the spin and drain sequence from initiating.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Faulty Lid Lock
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer fills with water but will not advance to agitate or spin
⚠️ Lid lock indicator light stays off or blinks continuously
⚠️ Error code related to lid lock appears on the control panel
⚠️ Washer stops mid-cycle and lid will not unlock
Quick test: Unplug the washer, wait 60 seconds, then plug back in. If the lid lock error persists after a power reset, the lock assembly itself has failed and replacement is the correct fix. Use a multimeter on the lock's switch terminals — no continuity when lid is closed confirms a bad unit.
