Customer Questions and Answers for Lid Switch And Lock Assembly by Lg

The Lid Switch and Lock Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for LG washing machines. It contains both the switch that detects when the lid is closed, as well as the metal lock mechanisms that securely engage the lid during active cycles. This switch contains a 47-inch wire harness with 6-pin plugs.

Symptoms of a bad lid switch and lock assembly include:

• The washer not starting or agitating with the lid open
• Inability to fully close or lock the washer lid
• Error codes related to sensed lid position issues

Causes of failure involve wear of lock moving parts combined with mechanical and electrical degradation over thousands of uses. Continuous hinge motions and detergent/cleaner exposure take their toll.

This Lid switch is also compatible with Kenmore units reliant on LG parts.
