Phil for Model Number WA50R5200AW/US We have had this machine for a little over two years. From day one there were problems with loads being unbalanced that got worse and worse. fina lly, I did research and discovered the dampeners are under-designed. I replaced them and the balance issue is much better. A couple of loads before I changed them out, when I opened the lid and turned on the power the DC (open lid) fault would show. Once I close the lid I can start any cycle but I cannot pause to add or rebalance and I cannot use the Waterjet because it is in fault mode with the lid open. My suspicion is that the banging and vibration for being out of balance so much has damaged the control panel. Before I order this expensive part I am looking for reassurance that this is the problem and not something else or that there is a repair I can make to the panel.
Answer Phil, Based on the information provided I would recommend checking the lid switch with a meter for proper operation and then checking the wiring from the lid switch to the control before replacing the parts. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, April 3, 2023
