LID LOCK LED FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY

LID LOCK LED FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY — Lid Lock Fault

Whirlpool · Washing Machines

What does LID LOCK LED FLASHING CONTINUOUSLY mean?

The lid lock mechanism may not be engaging or disengaging properly, or there's an issue preventing the lid from locking or unlocking.

Common Causes

  • Lid not closed completely due to interference.
  • Lock interference with the lid striker.
  • Wash media buildup (detergent, lint) preventing the lock mechanism from sliding.
  • The control cannot determine if the lid lock is in a locked or unlocked state.

Repair Steps & Checklist

  2. 2

  3. 3

    Inspect the lid striker and the lid lock bezel for proper alignment and ensure they are not damaged or misaligned.
