Error Code: LID LIGHT FLASHING Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Lid Open
How to Fix LID LIGHT FLASHING Error (Step-by-Step)
- Ensure the washer lid is completely closed and there are no clothes or other items obstructing it from shutting properly.
- Press the ‘Start/Pause’ button once to see if the machine will attempt to lock the lid again.
- Unplug the washer from the power outlet for 5 minutes to reset the control board, then plug it back in.
- Try to start a cycle again. If the light continues to flash, the lid lock mechanism is the most likely cause of the failure.
- Inspect the plastic striker on the lid itself to make sure it is not broken or misaligned, as it must fit into the lock assembly correctly.
- If the striker is intact, the lid lock and switch assembly, located under the top panel of the washer, has likely failed and will require replacement.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
