How to Fix LID Error (Step-by-Step)

Ensure the washer is unplugged from the power outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Check that the lid is fully closed and that there are no items obstructing it from closing properly.
Inspect the lid strike on the lid and the lid lock assembly on the washer’s top panel for any visible damage or misalignment.
If the lid strike is broken, it will need to be replaced.
If the lid lock assembly appears damaged or the switch is not being activated by the strike, the assembly will need to be replaced.
To replace the lid lock, you will need to open the top panel, disconnect the wire harness from the old lock, and remove it. Then, install the new lock.
After replacement, close the lid and plug in the washer to see if the error is cleared.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
