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.
