Is This the Right Part?
✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Lid or door will not close or latch
- Lid-lock indicator flashes or a lid-lock-related error appears
- Washer will not start a cycle
- Washer will not agitate or spin because the lid-lock safety interlock is not satisfied
- Lid remains locked or fails to release normally
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect power before inspecting the lock assembly, wiring, or connector.
- Confirm the lid closes fully and that clothing, packaging material, or other objects are not interfering with the lock striker.
- Inspect the lock and striker area for detergent, lint, or spill buildup; clean external surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
- Check that the striker is not visibly damaged, displaced, or misaligned with the lock opening.
- If the washer still reports a lid-lock fault, follow the exact model’s service documentation for any unplugged continuity or resistance checks; do not bypass the safety interlock.
