Ross November 17, 2015 for Model Number wtw4800bq0 The washer fills up then the lid lock light flashes and makes a clicking noise for a few minutes. Then it resets and drains the water out. Control board or lid latch maybe? Is there a way to test before voltage or continuity before I start buying parts?
1 Answer Ross, You could put the unit into a diagnostic mode and see if there are any stored error codes. This can be done by accessing the tech sheet located in the control panel. Also on the tech sheet it will tell you how to test the lid lock assembly. Read More...
Shawn November 14, 2015 for Model Number 110.26002011 I want to test my lid lock switch before replacing it. I have tested the ones with three wires before but this one has 4 wires and I don't know how to test. Has a yellow, blue, white, and red. What wires do I check continuity on?
1 Answer Shawn, You will want to test the lid lock at the main control board and you will check the following contacts. From connector J15 lock switch solenoid pin 1 to pin 3 should be between 85 to 155 ohms. Lock switch J15 pin 3 to pin 4, locked will be 0 ohms, unlocked open circuit. Lid switch J15 pin 3 to pin 2, lid closed 0 ohms and lid open Open circuit. Read More...
Doris November 07, 2015 for Model Number MVWX600XW0 Hi, I have replaced the lid switch lock on my Maytag Bravos Washer because it would not lock. When it still failed to operate properly, I replaced the strike. The machine locks, then unlocks and the red flashing light keeps blinking and blinking. If I hit the start button again all it does is click and the machine will not start. I unplugged the machine several limes and it still refuses to keep locked. What other part do I need to replace. Please help.
1 Answer Doris, In the control panel there is a tech sheet. You will want to get the tech sheet out and run the unit in diagnostics and see if there are any stored error codes. If there are then this will direct you to the issue. The most likely cause with the lock having already been replaced would be a faulty control board. But check the codes. Read More...
Mossy October 31, 2015 for Model Number MVWX700XW1 My Maytag Bravos X makes loud noises during spin cycle. Sounds like bearings. If so, could you tell me what parts and tools I'll need to make repair. thanks
1 Answer Mossy, The noise that the unit is making would be bad bearings and in order to get the bearings you would need to replace the gearcase part number W11132267. Read More...
Sarah Y. October 03, 2015 for Model Number 110.28002011 Lid lock will flash but would not lock. Replaced the lid lock part w10404050 now the lid lock light doesn't even come on. It just beeps like the door is open.
1 Answer Hello Sarah, If the lid lock switch is connected properly and has been replaced, the issue will be in the control W10480094. Read More...
Shaketa October 01, 2015 for Model Number RTW4640YQ1 My washer light gets to the final spin process then it does nothing it wont drain or spin... Could it be my lid locking assembly?
1 Answer Hello Shaketa. It is not likely to be the lid lock. You will need to check the drain pump and see if it is draining the unit. If not, the pump may be bad on the unit. If it does drain, then check the splutch system on the unit. If it is good, check the shift actuator WPW10006355 on the unit. Read More...
Andra September 11, 2015 for Model Number 11022332510 The lid lock latch is broken. How do I test it? The washer is plugged in yet no show of power.
1 Answer Hello Andra, You will need to use a test meter to see if voltage is getting to the lid lock. You will need to pull the wiring diagram and use the wiring diagram to follow the voltage. Normally, when you find a component with voltage to it that is not passing it, it is the failed component. The lid lock W10404050 is a common failure and if it is broken, it will most likely be the cause of the complete failure. Read More...
Ray September 08, 2015 for Model Number mvwc425bwo I push the start button and heres what happens. Green sensing light comes on and the red door lock light comes on. There is a buzzing noise for a few seconds then the door lock light goes off, sensing light stays on. Then a few seconds later red door lock light comes on but blinks this time, sensing light is still on.
1 Answer Ray This issue sounds like it would be caused by a lid latch assembly. To test the lid lock you will need to access the wiring diagram in the console of the unit and run the Lid lock test on page 9. If the lid lock test fails then you will need to check the lid lock mechanism for obstruction or binding. Repair that as necessary. Unplug the washer remove the console to access the main control board. Visually check that the J15 connector is inserted all the way into the main control. If the visual check passes then remove the connector from J15 main control board. With an ohmmeter, verify the lid lock resistance values across the following J15 connector pins: Lock switch solenoid Resistance should be between 85-155 ohms measured between pins 1 and 3 of J15 connector Lock switch If locked should be 0 ohms resistance and if unlocked should show open circuit measured between the J15 pin 3 to 4. Lid switch Lid closed should read 0 ohms and lid open should show an open circuit from connector J15 pins 3 to 2. Read More...
Lynn August 22, 2015 for Model Number mvwx655dw I have a brand new never been used maytag washer, i went to use it for the first time and I put the laundry detergent into the hole for the lid lock is it safe to run the machine

Bill August 07, 2015 for Model Number WTW4800XQ0 Lid lock light will start flashing after non-use of washer for anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days. Machine will not work while light is flashing. I unplug the power and replug it in and the washer works fine. Then the lid lock light will start flashing in the same time frame noted above and I go through the same process to use it. Does this sound like the lid latch switch is bad or could it be something else? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Bill, This is most likely the lid lock assembly W10404050 but could also be caused by a poor electrical connection or a failing control board W10745340. Read More...
