How to troubleshoot a Kenmore/Whirlpool/Maytag washing machine with a flashing lid locked light. A flashing lid lock light prevents the washer from doing any cycle or entering the diagnostic mode. This washer in the video is model number 110.20022014 however this repair is applicable to a wide range of washing machines. This video is part of my series "Free On Facebook" in which I find free things and show you how to repair, recycle, and repurpose them

@AlphabetCo-lk9jo Is correct - the light will also flash on other faults - I recently replace my shift actuator and splutch assembly - a few weeks after apparently the nut hold the pulley to the splutch came loose because I didn’t grease the plastic gears and the vibrations made nut come loose and belt come off - After the belt came off the fault -FLASHING lid lock came back . This has also happened when I installed the ring the shifter actuator hand move upside down . Always calibrate after fix and if you need access to this inside of washer and lid is locked after you turn of washer - unplug and plug it back in and turn on washer and it’ll unlock . ❤❤love your vids just sharing some scenarios I’ve encountered these errors . Last thing I’d change is the board. Just like you did.

Maytag centennial replaced lid lock harness. Followed your video and after unplugging the harness and the machine. Then plugged back in the power and the lid lock light did not come on. So it’s not the board But I can’t get the washer to function. The sensing light is on and so is the lid lock light

I unplugged the lid lock and the light went out, does that mean the lid lock is bad? Can you check this lid lock with a multimeter for resistance?

There is no way to adjust water. You can only do that on the old machines. These are high efficiency machines

At 10:42, you mention taking the striker off the lid and inserting it into the receptacle. I would like to do that permanently so that I can add more water after the soak cycle. Will the machine continue to function if I just insert the striker into the receptacle permanently?
@DuctTapeMechanic
@DuctTapeMechanic 4 ай бұрын
I think it will continue to function. Not sure how good of an idea adding more water is (I'm guessing manually). You will most likely destroy your suspension rods

The washer thinks the door is locked, but also knows the door is open. So it faults. If you use your finger to press the door closed switch at the lock actuator, and power cycle the washer, upon restarting it will cycle the lock, and unlock. With you holding the door switch closed, it will unlock and remove the fault state and return to normal.

My Kenmore series 500 has this problem, I have pulled the connector as shown here, lid lock light also remains flashing... However my lid IS locked...I've tried power on/off, resetting circuit breaker, running reset cycle... Nothing has helped. Not only locked throughout all of this, there is a load of wet, off balanced, laundry that I am unable to access. About to try to find video to access the lid lock to try to unlock, before I d thought maybe you might have a suggestion to unlock the lid. Thanks!!!

@ramadasa77 I hope you were able to get your clothes I would’ve just took the entire top panel off usually there’s two tabs at the front of the machine in the crevice between the top panel and the front panel and two screws at the back holding down the top of machine.
