Lid Lock Assembly

Hired Repairman after I received the part.

just follow the wire

First took out the old unit by opening the lid with putty knife and removing two 1/4 inch headed screws that held it in. Confirmed it still wouldnt work. Second ordered the new part. Third rather than undo the instrument panel and have to contend with the grommet and so on, it was easier for me to cut the old wiring mid way and cut the new wire mid way and splice in the new part.I dont recommend that unless you know how to take measures to do good splicing of multipair wire, otherwise take the instrument panel off simply with two philip screws and run the thing the right way. Good luck. Its really not that bad. FYI you may want to check voltages on the wires and insure 12 and 5 volts are right and that this isnt a board issue or durty connection issue. You may not even need this part.

After verifying the part was indeed the right part. The installation was quick and it only took 4 screws to do it. 1.First thing first unplug the washer from wall.....2.remove two screws (using Phillips screwdriver) from back of the control panel. 3. Remove the connector and detach the control panel completely and sit it to the side. 4. Use flat head screwdriver to pry the front of washer top apart and secure it with screwdriver to keep open. 5.unscrew old lock (*keep 2 screws) detach the lock and carefully pull out wiring harness) 6. Replace with new lid lock use the old screws to attach and follow the wiring harness back through the washer until you get it secured at the control panel area. ***please be careful applying the black plastic support it can break...... 7. Replace the control panel after attaching the lid lock wire to the control panel. Replace the screws tightly and then plug the machine back in and you should have your old washer back........
