Customer Questions and Answers for Lid Lock And Harness (Top-Load Washer) by Ge

This lid lock and harness assembly restores safe washer operation. It locks the lid during spin and relays lid-closed status to the control, helping resolve no-start/no-spin conditions and a flashing lid-lock light.

• Locks the lid during spin when commanded by the control
• Detects lid position and sends a signal to the control board
• Helps prevent the washer from running with the lid open
• Typical failure signs include the washer not starting or not spinning, cycles pausing mid-cycle, or a blinking lid-lock light/clicking sound

• Unplug the washer before servicing; turn off water if you need to move the unit
• Access the lock by lifting or removing the top panel; remove mounting screws or release tabs
• Route the new harness along the original path and secure in clips; fully seat connectors at the control
• Run a spin test to verify lock/unlock operation
