Error Code: LDL Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Lid Lock Failure
How to Fix LDL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the washing machine from its power source and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Open the lid and locate the lid lock assembly, which is usually on the underside of the top panel.
- Inspect the lid strike (the plastic piece on the lid that goes into the lock) for any damage or misalignment. Adjust or replace if necessary.
- Examine the lid lock assembly for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks or broken pieces.
- Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the lid lock switch. If the switch is faulty, the entire assembly will need to be replaced.
- To replace the lid lock, remove the mounting screws, disconnect the wire harness, and install the new assembly.
- Reconnect the power and test the lid lock by starting a cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
