Your washer has a security system that prevents opening
the lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock prevents anyone
(especially children) from reaching into the washer while
the basket is spinning. The lid lock will release within 5
seconds after the basket stops spinning. Trying to open the lid while locked could result in injuries.
If the lid does not unlock after spinning, please contact
service.
NOTE: If there is a power outage the lid lock can take 3
minutes to release.
