Ken K Los Angeles , CA December 11, 2015 Appliance: Whirlpool Commercial Washer CAE2743BQ0 Whirlpool Washer Cae2743bq0 / : Lid lock broke. How to replace Lid Lock Bezel (Top-Load Washer). Put in new lid lock. This is my second one in 1 year. Whirlpool suggested I leave it loose so that if somebody did try and force it open, it wouldn't break it. This lid lock has 4 wires and cannot be bypassed. 10 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
