Maureen March 05, 2013 for Model Number Whirlpool WTW4950XW When I start my washer, the lid locks and tries to start sensing, but stops right away and clicks a few times as if it unlocking and locking the lid then the lid lock light starts flashing and nothing happens after that. The lid stays locked, I cannot lift it but the lid light is flashing. I have to unplug or reset washer. Could it be the lid lock sensor even though the lid stays locked or could it be the water hose sensor? Thanks Maureen
1 Answer Maureen, Did or do you not have any error/fail codes ? Check for a loose connection or loose wire terminal in the J15 connector of the wire harness, this is the lid switch / lock circuit to the control. There are other possibilities, and your best bet would be to use the tech data sheet, and conduct the diagnostics, automatic and manual test modes so you have a better idea of what the control is seeing or not seeing.

Edison March 02, 2013 for Model Number WTW4800XQ0 It was working the washer suddendly stopped and the lights are off and the lid switch was locked and my clothings stayed inside. I used the knife to open the door lid. When I plug again apears for 1 second lid switch led and it got off. Do I buy lid switch or electrical panel.
1 Answer Edison, You will want to verify power to the control board and check all electrical connections before replacing any parts. You will want to check the lid switch to make sure that it is reading properly. It does sound like it may be a lid switch issue but you will want to check unit first.You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...

Julia December 01, 2012 for Model Number Maytag Model MVWC400XW2 I tried to start my washer I turned it on and the lid light and sensor light came on. The sensor started to sound then the lid light went out and the sensor light stayed on the washer stopped. That's all it does, I unplugged the washer for an hour thinking the timing was off and replugged it back in and tried to start the washer again same thing happened. Do you think it could be the lid switch that's not working? Please help me

Mike November 08, 2012 for Model Number whirlpool washer model wtw4850qx Replaced part#w10238287.The setting light and lid lock light flash washer does not start?
1 Answer Hello Mike, The lid lock light flashing would indicate that the lid is not closed. You may want to make sure that the strike WPW10240513 on the lid is not broken. If it is broken even with the lid closed it would tell the control board that the lid is open. Read More...
Wally October 26, 2012 for Model Number maytag mvwc400xwo I can't get the lid to lock or washer to do anything. When I removed the strike and held it in place and pushed the button, the lid light locked and the sensing started. Of course it stopped after it realized the lid wasnt closed. What is the problem and what part do I need?

Tung L. May 11, 2012 for Model Number wtw5500xw0 Installed the lid lock, the unit locks the door, but does not start filling with water. The lid lock continues to flash. Do you think I got a faulty lid lock?
1 Answer Hello Tung. If the unit is locking, but the board is not seeing that it is locked, you will need to check the wiring harness for a bad connection or wire. If it is good, you will need to replace the control board W10392998 in the unit. Read More...
Carbella March 23, 2012 for Model Number mvwx600xwo We bought a new latch and it still won't work. If the control panel is out, would that cause it not to work ? Snd if the lights come on is the paenl out ?
1 Answer Carbella, Yes, the lights can illuminate and the control can be faulty and vice versa. There are two controls inside the console, the U/I control WPW10305452 and the CCU board W10745339. They are separate parts but they have to work together. Your best bet would be to find the tech data sheet (usually in an envelope, attached to the inside of the front panel) and conduct the tests listed. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
