This saved me so much money while I'm putting a child through college & taking care of a special needs adult child. I followed your directions, ordered the part and it worked like a charm. I can not thank you enough.I really appreciate it.
Cool thanks!
I did the diagnostics on my whirlpool washer. It was the washer lid lock. Purchased the part, followed the video and changed it myself. Pretty good for a 65 year old lady.
I did the same thing, ordered the part, and before it arrived, a repair man ran a reset procedure that fixed the issue without needing to replace a part.
The Sears repair guy wanted to charge me $350 for this repair. Thank you for doing this; you’re doing a great service.
Yeah! I’m fifty and can’t hardly see out of my right eye but I fixed it!!! My son helped with holding up the lid but I can’t believe how easy a fix! Taking the lid bolts and stuff was crazy as no one is technical in any form. These newer electronic models are a mess to take apart. But after I purchased the two tools and the lid switch and lock replacement it was under sixty bucks. I’m so happy. I was quoted 300 plus the part to fix. It took almost fourty minutes but I think anyone technically savy could do it in fifteen minutes. Yes my blankets smell like downy once again. Thank you!!!!!!
The part was $50 and tax, and this video provided perfect instructions for repair! We now have a working washer again!
I am a young mom of 2 (a 2 year old and a 4 month old) and because of this video, I was able to replace my part and get my washer working by myself with my kids playing nearby. Thank you!
The only thing I would recommend is showing how to remove the bezel because the repair kit comes with a replacement bezel to guarantee proper function after replacing the lid lock. I did not replace the bezel at first and the washer was still having the same problem and was not working. I finally figured out how to remove it and had to remove all the back paneling again and then replace.
+alison mellin We are happy to hear that we could help.

What is the bezel?
Woo Hoo!!! Just fixed my Amanda Washer by myself. Lid Lock Switch. And I'm a Female, 69.
Thanks to your
RUclips Video. I bought the part $57.00 at An Appliance Parts Store. And I used a 1/4 "
Nut Driver on my Black and Decker Drill. I plugged the washer in the wall after I installed the
Part, but the light was still flashing, unplugged it 2 more times, and even
turned off and on, the circuit breaker. That seemed to "reset" it. Thank you!!!
Thanks. I got my washer back online in about an hour. Great instruction.
this video help me out 100%! was able to assemble this part in just under 10 MINUTES. thanks bud 👍
I bought my part from Amazon because it was the cheapest, $18 + $7 shipping = $27. I swapped out the part, & my washer lid locked & worked like a charm.
Instructions worked perfect for me. We had the blinking lid lock light prior to replacing the locking kit. I also replaced the lid lock bezel with the supplied part.
jake coulson That's great! Congrats on the repair!
Praise God! Thank you for putting up this video to change out the part by the customer.....
I officially became the Maytag man. I followed the directions of this video and was able to complete my project. Thank you very much
Awesome! Congrats!
Dumbest feature but best video. Saved us from buying a new washer! Thanks!
wow this is incredible. I haven't gotten the part yet, so I"m hoping I have it fixed when I get the part, but I got it all disassembled. The part has been ordered. I'm so excited that my repair bill went from $200 to $ 35!! Thank you for this. We've had just so many other unexpected expenses to come up.
We're happy to help! This is a simple and common repair. No reason not to do it yourself!
I got the part in and while I did end up paying the repairman $55 for the initial
service call, I was still able to save $100. Next time I will go right to your site before I call a repair man. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much for the video, I ordered the part and took less than 10 minutes to fix, was a great help
robert worley Thank you.
how much is the switch?
Thank you for the video!!! I changed my lid lock perfectly watching this video.
Tabitha J Girl you followed all those steps and did it yourself? Well great job. That video only frustrated me more
No problem!
this is the stupidest feature ever built on a washer.
So true kmt
thanks you all been a great help
Simple , sweet. Done. Thank you
You're welcome!
If you would like to give us a review, here is our link: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review
Have a great day!
Songre Osmenep The lid lock was likely not the problem with your washer. It could be a main control issue but the only way to know for sure is to do some electrical testing with a volt meter and the wiring diagram from inside the machine. Enter your washing machine's model number in our website's repair help for troubleshooting information specific to your washer.
Hi Nick, we suggest that you post your washer's model number and questions on a reliable appliance repair forum. We wish you a fast and successful repair.
thanks very much had no problems and done in 10 min
You're welcome!
We are always happy to help. If you would like to give us a review on Google, we would much appreciate it: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review
We hope that you have a great day!
@@repairclinic Done!
If you enter your model number into our website it will show you a list of parts that are compatible with your machine. It could very well be the part featured in this video, but we can't say for sure without knowing the model number.
Unfortunately we can't offer repair help off of our RUclips channel. I would recommend that you search online for a reputable repair blog or forum for an answer.
Great video It really help me got it done
will this lid-lock part work for a maytag? The machine in the video looks just like my maytag also the wiring in the back is layed out the same as mine.
Thanks from Washington DC.
Scott G. You're welcome from Canton, Michigan!
Is the same part of a locking mechanism? Repair guy said it's what's wrong with my mom's washer. Thanks
THANK YOU! This video sure made it easy for a woman to do :) I had no idea how to get to the lid-lock.

The newest replacement (Jan 2019 for me) does NOT have the mounting screws at 1:35. The white bezel is attached to the black plastic lock mechanism. You slide old lock, bezel and all, to the left and it comes out in one piece. Reverse that for putting in the new lock until it clicks into place.
Also, my replacement lock came already in the LOCKED position, witch i figured out when i tried to shut the lid after completing installation. I kinda poked my finger in the and got the new lock to unclick.
Overall, great video, it made this repair very easy.
Joe Hertweck i have the same problem did you just close the lid hard enough for it to click or how did you do that
I would like to jump the four wires to the lid switch while I order a new switch. Which two or more wires should I connect to make the washer think the lid is shut?
how can i check my lid switch.?how to bypass this kind of switch?
I wanna know how to bypass the lid lock, any ideas?
Where from can I get this lid lock i need one pls here in Melbourne
Sorry for this question, but what is that tool you're using and what size is the attachment to fit the screws?
Any idea when after I plug in the new replacement part the washer just won’t turn on but, If I plug back in the old part it will turn on but says lid locked
Please HELP Where does one git the replacement?
if wash plate is not removing what wiil i do to remove
A maytag washer lid locks removal &replacemeny.that dasher free the locking device on the washer and lid.
I just brought this washer no longer than 4 months and there already a lid problem the machine was filling up while the lid was wide open so where i got it i would either want a brand new one because they were giving me a hard time on the phone
Hi Repair Clinic I did a replacement of the above and now when I plug in the Machine nothing is happening no lights no agitation nothing! I open the back and observer there is a small green light on the Control board lit but no other functions are working after replacing the Lid lock switch..could it be that I need to go in diagnostics mode of the washer or there is some other problem?
What could be the problem on a whirlpool washer it starts and fills up and spins, towards the end the lid lock light comes on and it stops and the lid opens, when it should stay locked until the end of the cycle, someone could please tell me what's the problem and how much it would be to fix it thanks Becky
I own Whirlpool washer WTW5000dw3, my washer is inoperable until I get my lid lock replacement. The washer stopped working with a load of laundry in it, I have removed all items and I have scooped as much water out as I can by hand, are there any tips on how to manually drain the washer while waiting for my parts?
Does the lid lock/switch also control the draining and spin cycles? My washer wont drain. I replaced the pump , but that's not the problem.
This lid switch has been replaced with a w10838613. There are no screws now. Anyone know how to do this one?
Where can i buy a lid lock for this type if the machine WTW7340XW2?
I was able to change the part out no issues. However, still same dU code. What can be the issue?
Great vid. Very easy to follow. I did this and the sensor is sill flashing. What could I have done wrong?
I would check the actuator on the lid to make sure it is not broke and is engaging the new lid switch. The wiring is hard to mess up because the harness only plugs in one way. You could double check the connection at the control board if you haven’t already.
Were you doing this because your sensor icon would light up but your washer would not lock?
How do you install it while. The lock is still lock
May switch to flashing light after new lock is installed for a few seconds. Then lock again and run.
Pero no se como sacar la pieza ,para aser mi orden.
Praise God! Are you , the parts clinic, listening to the customer replies? and relaying the messages to product suppliers/makers? Will you explain in the video why this part was designed and put in place? Hope this is helpful to both sides.
alson Taylor ever figure out hoe to jump it out???
Well, this repair didn't work for my similar situation. I checked underneath the washer to check if the belt was broken but it is intact. I'm not sure where else to go with this :o(
UPDATE: This was not my problem. After further research it was determined that the SHIFT ACTUATOR was faulty. I replaced that and the washer is back up and running. Hopefully this helps anyone out.
Mine gets stuck and doesn’t lock so I replaced the locking mechanism and still gets stuck what can I do next
Is there a way to use machine with the lid lock
I want to disable the whole thing. Can you make a video for that?
how can i bypass this switch
I don't have mounting screws on the lid lock, how can I remove old one.
Only thing I forgot to mention is I didn’t replace the new bezel. I could see the lock was damaged it had no play or give in the springs it was a mess it fell apart. I’m keeping the new bezel just in case but I didn’t take it off. I only replaced lock and stricker.
Great video! Saved me over $100 from hiring a repair guy.
i put my locking switch in as soon and when i started it still doing the same things clicking and the light blinking what to do
Me too
I would preferr for someone that knows what their doing to come out and fix. I am disabled and cannot do this my self.
My lid is locked. I see a green, “Final Spin,” light and also the red lock light. Any ideas?
Sure would have been nice if somebody had mentioned the reset function before going through all the diagnostic process and ordering parts that were not needed.
se ve interesante pero lamentablemente no se ingles gracias de igual manera

Do I have to replace this whole thing just for forcing the lid open?
L #LPete this is my problem
lock seized up at some point during the replacement with the lid still open, it won't close all the way even when unplugged, how do I unlock the actual part itself?
I have the same problem did you ever find a solution?
@@lockednloaded7830 did fix it after a while but I don't remember how, just that I opened the old one to look at the internals and was able to fix the new one after figuring out how it worked. something about the solenoid locking and needing to be unstuck.
@@Alexis-dh1bn thank you for responding
Can you show me twin Whirpool ?
👍👍

What tool is he using to unscrew the old lid lock? it's not just a screw driver is it?
masterichi87 It is just a ¼ inch nutdriver or socket.
Can you bypass the lid locking sensor?
Jolene Bellerose We do not recommend that.
Thank you.
Why?
I whirlpool top load door locks and the machine works when there is NO close in the machine. as soon as I put a load in the door won't lock. any answers?
where is the lid switch located on the washing machine. my machine still will not rinse and drain after replacing the washer latch assembly.
+wanda b. King Normally a washer will have a lid latch or a lid switch, not both.
thank you!
Laurie you can check your owners manual, but that is not something we have heard of.

Do you have to reset the machine once you assemble the new latch?

My washer fills with water, does the wash cycle and then stays in the "lid lock" cycle and nothing happens. It is still filled with water. If we unplug the washer and attempt to restart it nothing happens.

I got my part from appliance zone .com and it was around 25 bucks.
how to replace valve into sharp automatic washing machine
The only part im missing is the plastic piece that latches it, not the lock itself ..
Are you referring to the wire harness or something else?
What the latch screws into i'm sorry for the vagueness.
Brent Cervelli Is this it? www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Door-Strike/W10392041/1938467?TLSID=1621
Yes sir it is, thats it exactly.
Thank you sir.
Brent Cervelli Great!
All these “safety precautions” when we have some kids eating colorful Tide Pods.
The *lid lock should be optional* or the manufacture should incorporate some type of disengagement switch. There’s no lock for garbage disposals, vacuum cleaners, fans, electric blenders or mixers.
There's definitely nothing wrong with that Kathy. Now you have some knowledge for when the technician comes.
Ntw4516fw3 lidlock w11253733 wont close
Has anyone run into case where after you do a reset ( ruclips.net/video/YZKqpoVX3t4/видео.html ), the washer is so moody it works when you least expected and then nothing? Like stopping at wash cycle, working, stops at spin cycle, stops at wash cycle forever.
+Chip Malee Thank you for sharing.
***** what would really help is if you are affiliated with Home Depot that way there would be no shipping cost for parts picked up at store. Also customer would save in returns if part does not work. Website ( www.appliancerepair.homedepot.com/Shop-For-Parts/a11b5d1286864/Model-WTW4800XQ4-Whirlpool-Washing-Machine-Parts ) already has look and feel of RC which I suspect RC is connected someway to Home Depot.
My washer is 2 years old and changed this lid lock twice. This whirlpool washer is a total headache and waste of money and your time.
Isn't there a way to just bypass the stupid locking mechanism ?
