The lid switch/lock assembly together help for
safe and smooth operation of the washer. It will
lock the lid to prevent accidental opening of the
lid when washer is operating. The lid switch, the
lid lock and harness are both together in one part.
Lid Lock Assembly
Diagnosing
Any time the lid is in the down position, the lid
actuator presses down on the lid lock mechanism.
When the washer goes into the spin or rinse
portion of a cycle, a lock routine will occur.
The lid lock switch requires 120 VAC to activate
the locking mechanism.
The approximate resistance between pins 2 and
3 from J513 board connector for direct drive
models and J404 board connector for belt drive
models, 70-ohms nominal when the washer top
cover/lid is fully closed. The resistance should be
between 60- and 80-ohms.
Check the lid switch continuity of the lid switch
between Red and Yellow at the same connector
