Tony February 28, 2020 for Model Number MVWC565FWO The lid latch/lock just keeps clicking. I am able to work the latching mechanism reaching my finger under the shroud. In the drain/spin cycle, the lid lock light comes on for few seconds then goes out. Most of the time the water will start filling but cuts off. Most of the time the lock latch just clicks even with my fingers holding the two switches in and the retracting lock is manually pushed forward. It just will not start, it keeps clicking at lock/latch
1 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. Read More...

1 Answer Peter, There will be a tech sheet at the front inside the washer that you will want to access and put the unit into service diagnostic mode. Once in diagnostics, you should be able to lock and unlock the lid. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Tom, your washer has an electronic control and is equipped with a self-diagnostic function, the technical datasheet to do this test is included with your washer, it is in a plastic bag located on the inside of the front panel near the top, .You can run the Fault code test to determine what the control board is seeing as a fault. Also all washer components can be tested in the Manual test mode. Read More...
Russ November 12, 2019 for Model Number MVWC415EWG lid lock switch lines were burned.Replaced with new one and it did the same thing.What should I do?
1 Answer Russ, the control WPW10711303 would need to be inspected for loose connections or signs of overheating as well as the latch W11307244 harness for any wires that were possibly bare and touching metal. The capacitor W11395618 should also be inspected for signs of failure. Read More...

Soniat October 08, 2019 for Model Number WTW4816FW2 We broke the lid lock and bought the replacement part.Unfortunately it seems to be manually locked. We cannot shut the lid and the locked light is red. We tried holding the "Start/Pause" button for 20 seconds. We tried unplugging it for 15 minutes. We tried calibrating by doing the "1 left, 3 right, 1 left, 1 right and going to Rinse". Help!
1 Answer Sonia, In the tech sheet, there is a section called manual test mode. This will allow you to control the door lock. I will send you a copy in case you don't have a tech sheet. Follow the instructions to enter the service mode then turn the dial until the lights correspond with the manual test mode and push start. You will then hit start again to toggle the lid between the lock and unlock. The manual test mode is page 9. Read More...
Chis July 31, 2019 for Model Number WTW4950HW0 my husband had to install a new lid lock for our washer. The new locking mechanism is stuck in the lock position with the lid open. Is there anyway to unlock the new mechanism? The part number we where given is W11253733
1 Answer Chis, You can try unplugging the unit for a couple of minutes and then apply power. Usually, that will do it. Don't forget to calibrate the unit after the part is installed. There should be directions with the part. Read More...
Greg March 05, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore series 300 model 110.25122810 Had to replace the Lid latch. Got new lid latch part number W10838613. The existing lid strike will not go into the opening of the new lid latch. Tried a new lid strike W10837741. Same issue. Where do I go from here? Thanks
1 Answer Greg, it is possible that the latch was engaged in the lock position and not allowing the strike to enter the latch assembly. If you disconnect the lock from the control while the unit is turned off, you can test the lock to see if it is in the locked state. If you test the blue wire to the white wire for resistance, if it reads 0 ohms then it is in the locked state. If it reads infinite, then the lock is in the open position. This will help to identify if the lock is in the locked position. Read More...
