Answer

Tony, with the power cord unplugged from the wall outlet, the main control W11116594 will need to be accessed. At connection J6, the wire connection will need to be removed and the wires will be used to test the lock. From the wire location pin 2 to pin 3, with the lid closed the resistance reading should measure between 85 to 155O. From there, the lock switch would be tested from the wire location pin 1 to pin 2 and it should measure an open circuit with the lid unlocked. If the test fails to fall within this tolerance, the latch W11307244 would need to be replaced. If the testing falls within tolerance, the most likely failure is in the main control.
