Whirlpool Washer Lid Lock Won't Work - How to Replace W11513248 / W11414731 Assembly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2024
- This is a very new style of lid lock in 2023 from Whirlpool, and also works on Maytag Washing machines like the Maytag Pet Pro Washing Machine. The lid lock is a newer style and disassembles differently than any other one on the market that I'm aware of, and no current videos exist of this repair.
Need the lid lock? oemparts.bens-appliances.com/...
Additionally, taking the top of the washer lid off seems to be different and more fusterating than the older styles. I've heard from other techs that, potentially, a thin flat-blade screwdriver pushing up while trying the initial maneuver can help bend the latches to make this easier, but I wasn't able to do it in this video.
Hopefully this video helps you out!

Just replaced the lid lock on my washer and now it’s locking and completing a wash cycle. Thank you for this video. You DEFINITELY SAVED ME MONEY AND TIME!!
You're welcome!!
"worthless like a gamestop rewards card" that line alone was worth a subscribe!
Hehe, thanks! I would of said a blockbuster card but it would of been too old for people probably.
@bensappliancesandjunk 😂 when ya don't know how to remove just the lock just say it you never should have to replace with the wire the one I got from whirlpool did not come with wire , but thanks for the part number only thing you got right , and i love the maytag outfit😂
Your info about the two extra clips in the front was very helpful. Thank you.
Metal cabinets edges are sharp and a major pain the butt! 🎉. Great tutorial Ben😊
Bless you for this 🙏 very clear and easy to follow.
This video is great! I ws able to fix this issue myself without having to pay or wait for 2 months for Lowes to come and fix it! Thank u so much!
I have to replace this exact part tomorrow when it arrives in the mail tomorrow, I was mad about how much extra steps it is just to take off this lid. Thank you for your video.
I have another video I released that shows you how to take it off a little bit. Easier to where you do not have to lift it up from the rear if you prefer to do it from the front but it does require some weird stuff
What a big help. Thank you.
That lid is an absolute pain.
Getting the lid loose was definitely a pain...
This is a great video and was so helpful. Thank you
Please do a video on how to bypass this new style switch!
You can't bypass the switch, it will typically blow the machine up. All you can do is put the striker in the housing unless you build a switching devicd
Whew! Thanks man! You saved my (newer) washer! At least expense to me. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the video! Fixed and working like new.
Awesome video! I was able to replace mine with no problems using this step by step
We just replaced this exact thing today! thanks to your video thank you so much!
Thank you! Your video made it easy!
I cannot thank you enough for this video. You saved me.
Glad it helped!
Sweet ben thanks for the heads up!🤟
Thanks so much!!! Such a life saver
Ben, you have been with me for hours as I completed this repair today! I watched, paused, ⏪, watched again, until miraculousIy we advanced in VICTORY! I agree, this heavy glass lid & console proved to be no picnic. YAY indeed when finally I made it to the lid lock part! My Maytag is slightly different from this one you demonstrated - I have model MVW7232HC purchased Sept 2020. Thank you for your detailed video. My husband is amazed. 🥂
SAVED MY HIDE!!!! my daughter hugged me soon as it started working again!!!
Thanks Ben!
Changed my mind... repairmen deserve every penny they charge and more- just to take the damn lid off
This one is a really, really fusterating design
My thoughts exactly!
Great info thankyou!
Is there a way to bypass this stupid lock?
No
Awesome. Thank you for making this video, I would guess I will have to replace some of these lid locks.
You will. This may be the first we recorded, but we've done warranty replacements on these already. They SUCK.
@@bensappliancesandjunk if you discover a slick way to get that washer top off please post up another video.
Your the man.
Thank you
Thanks!
Thanks! 👍🏻
I find hundreds of videos on how to replace the lid lock system and ZERO on how to fix the LID LATCH BY ITSELF. I cannot find a SINGLE video telling me how to replace the latch on the LID which i somehow snapped in half! this is driving me insane and i want to cry.
Varies by model a lot. What's the model of your unit?
I have the same style whirlpool and I watched this video just to see why I could not get the lid assembly to lift up. I thought it was just my machine. Thank you.
It isn't. Everyone hates this new design because the old style was so much easier to explain and for the life of me, I cannot explain this design decision
That was a very informative video, let’s see if I got it right.
Step one,
Scream profanities until hysterical.
Step two,
Kick machine until I feel great discomfort in my foot and lower leg.
Step three,
After calming down call Ben to fix the problem.
you should make a video dissemble tutorial 👍
I use a butterknife for these consoles. Works every time.
A Gamestop rewards card. 😂😂😂 Epic!
Thank you I was able to replace part no issue, issue now is the lid is up but the lock is on and will not allow me to close it how do I fix this
Will this washer not work without the lock?
im trying to test my lid lock part using the ohm values given in manual but I have no idea the pin out of the plug and wire color not given :/
I'm thinking this may be my problem. I can hear the lock click but it doesn't actually lock. If this is the case will this prevent the washer from progressing into the wash cycles?
Thank you for the video. Replaced the broken lock but now getting error codes after reset. Ugh
Hello Ben. I replace a door latch on a whirpool cabrio, and now works fine but it does not turn off, it sstanys on 0:01 time and after 5 more minutes it keeps staying on 0:01 time but flashing . I must turn it off manually. Any help? Tnank you.
WTW5057LW0 is my mode number detergent fell off the shelving and broke the clip on the cabinet. I’m having a hard time finding the right replacement
The part cost $46...this worked very well. Thank you!
Where did you find the parts ? I’m having a hard time finding it.
@@thewhitemexican8318 my local appliance repair store
Maybe they ship?
RIP EB Games, I'll always cherish those unspent reward points.
OK, so of course my striker wouldn't fit and I did what you said to do… But my lid is now down a lot and I can't get it open… What do I do???
I replaced the lid lock & went on to trying to recalibrate, the lid is open but wont close all the way shut, therefore the recalibration didnt start, the washer says it is locked. How can i go about this?
If the lock part is just broke could i possibly just put the new locking mechanism onto the old cable? I see where you can take the cable off it I’m just unsure if I can do that
Yes you can as far as I'm aware
Hi Ben, thanks again for another valuable video. Have you noticed more washing machine manufacturers are using the agitator along the the use of higher water levels? Your thoughts.
Agitators and higher water levels go hand in hand. You can't really have an agitator and low water level usage. You have to pick one and stick with it. Its generally why I'd take a front loader over one with just the wash plate. Surface area is a major factor, and at least on a front loader the paddles will agitate the clothes more evenly than the plate will. Full water + agitator is the best, but not everyone wants high water usage, so then FL's are a good choice. I've had too many wash plates fail to mix the clothes over the years for many reasons.
It seems like consumers are in fact pushing back for more agitators. Even LG makes them now which is a very, very strange thing to see.
@@bensappliancesandjunk could you please recommend a front loader unit. I’ve heard so many stories about front loaders I’m confused. Some units are not repairable, smelly odors, short life expectancy etc… thanks again 😊
@RBG-fc1nv please watch the 35min video I produced last month going over all of that
What’s the name of the vid. I apologize for bugging you.
@@RBG-fc1nv ruclips.net/video/jmtLeB4ZplU/видео.html
The new top has lock tab in the front just use a flat head screw driver in the side about 1/2 inch back from front to lift slightly and slide lid as usual.
These lid locks don't seem to break commonly.
Recalibration is hidden and not on sheet think you found it later. 1 2 1 2.
The locking top is intentional on these and has nothing to do with the lock. Whirlpool seems to think too many people figured out the zig zag method and had to add an extra step to try and keep people out. But no need to lift top high in the back. Lift front lip with 🪛
In your opinion are Speed Queens washer and dryers worth the money?
I've heard from people that have bought the speed queens...they love them, they last but are pricey.
Hi Ben I got a question for you. I have the same washer as in the video. I have run the diagnostic test and it’s giving me code: F5E3. I’ve replaced the lid lock assembly and the washer is still not locking to start the cycle. Do you think the control board is bad? The green light is flashing
I’m legit having the SAME problem. Did you figure it out?
These machines are insane 😂
I work in appliance repair and at times the control boards go bad but they won’t tell you that. (That little green flashing light isn’t testing the connection to the door lock)
Yes I noticed there was a red wire that had ripped off connected to the capacitor. I had to put the two red wires back together in a female disconnect and the washer was working good again. I got the washer from someone else and maybe while they were trying to check for the lid switch they ripped off this wire.
Gamestop reward card.😂😂😂
You only need a putty knife, on the sides about two inches back on the left and right side and lift up to release the front locks
Ok, Ben. My fridge seems to be working less efficiently as we come into spring. I had it set at 7 and now it is at 9 (max) to keep the milk from going bad. Suggestions?
There are 10+ variables to answer that question. Did you clean the coils? Ensure proper airflow behind the cabinet?
@@bensappliancesandjunk Air flow has not changed. I will look at the coils. Thank you.
How do you read the error codes on this machine? I can’t find anything to help…
Mine is 6 weeks out of warranty I'm trying to replace the lidlock.. And I cannot get the lid to pull forward if I go from the side to front the back anything..
I have another video explaining further on how to take the top off
Hi Ben, do you still recommend the Amana NTW4519JW? I'll be looking to buy an affordable Washer and dryer in the next 3 months. Consumer Reports did not say anything complementary about it. Enjoying your channel!
If you can find them yes. Usually the NTW4516's are far more prolific.
On Consumer Reports, here's the funny thing:
Its rated a "32" for various reasons. Despite the fact it uses the same transmission and parts as the 63-scored MVW6230HW. Difference is tub size and UI.
Why? Deep Fill drops the score. Somehow the MVW6230HW is magically rated higher for reliability despite it being internally identical. They pulled the same thing with the Maytag Commercial which people love.
Consumer reports uses non-real-world-tests to score their machines often. Options and features factor in highly with their scoring, which to me as a tech, is usually the hallmark of something that is less reliable (and its not like they care much about reliability at Consumer Reports).
If you want to use their scoring, go ahead. I like most of the LGs they peddle. But remember that literally none of their top-rated models have any sort of reliability score, or user satisfaction score. I really, truly, can't trust them for that. They're hawking promotions on new units while biasing against other units that have known successes and failures which have real, honest scores.
Thanks so much for the detailed and prompt reply!
I would recommend a used Whirlpool Direct Drive washing machine.
They need to do recall on this machine
Ditto
Will jump wires then
plastic and useless lol nice Thanks for the video!
I just wanna say you piss me off with how long you go into all this.. like dude just get to the damn point lol 😂
Did all the steps my sense light is on and the washer is humming that’s it
Swanky outfit. You prolly have to hire bodyguards to keep the girls from tackling ya. But in all seriousness, another informative vid, ty. :)
Can't bypass lid lock?
No. It'll fry the board. Only way you can open lid is just insert striker to door lock mechanism
Ok, but how do you just bypass the stupid thing….I mean lid lock?
Can't bypass it on any new machine made since 2009
Unscrew the latch from the lid and carefully place it in the lock spot. Although you have to remove it every 3 cycles otherwise the machine errors out.
@@bensappliancesandjunk I am seeing ways to bypass lid locks on other new machines by using a magnet.
@@DylBuilder1 I have seen lid locks bypassed by using a magnet but the new Maytags are different. Have you unscrewed the latch on a new 2023 Maytag and placed it in a lid lock?
I don't understand why the hell they feel the need to put so much effort into these locks!
It's a damn washing machine for crying out loud.
These washers are junk. I've replaced my lid lock twice! 2 years old.
I will never buy another Whirlpool.
I like how you explain the workings of the SPEED QUEEN, can you elaborate on the commerical models???😊❤
I am literally working RIGHT NOW on a deal for 6x Commercial Speed Queen washers. My hope is to get them, review them, then tear one apart to document repairs/features like I did with this. Just waiting on timing really.
@@bensappliancesandjunk Thank you very much.
There's no link for the part
Your taking the top off wrong. You need to use a putty knife on each front side to release.
After finding the non-existent tech manual that isn't included, I determined that a screwdriver can assist to open it from the front. Will make an add-on video soon regarding that
It’s easier to just plan on taking the tops off on these
Usually like 7 screws
This video is ridiculous.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Wow thanks!
