Bobby, Having a small amount of play will not cause the lid lock to not work but you can do testing on it using the tech sheet inside the front part of the drum.

Hello David, thank you for contacting APP, Lid Lock Assembly W11307244 / W11307244 does not come with the Lid Lock Strike W10837741 / W10837741, these are sold as separate components.

Hello Eddie, thank you for contacting APP, If the lid lock is continuously trying to latch I would suspect that the Lid Lock Assembly W11307244 has failed as long as the unit seems to be filling and draining properly, and does activate the motor for low or gentle agitation/load sensing.

Charles, if the unit will not enter into a diagnostic mode to identify an error code, the main control W11170319 would be the cause of failure. However, if it will enter into a diagnostic mode and an error code can be retrieved, the error code would need to be addressed.

Richard, the lid would need to be checked to identify if it is bending in towards the tub. If it is, it is likely causing the strike to not fully seat into the lid lock and would need to be corrected. If not, the lid lock W11307244 would be the most likely cause of failure. In regards to the unit being off balance, the level would need to be checked. If it is properly leveled, the belt W11239857 would need to be inspected for any dry spots.

John, if the LEDs will not illuminate at all and there is 120VAC reaching the control W11106372, the control has failed and would need to be replaced. The top panel can be lifted up by removing the hinge screws at the back of the top panel. This will allow the top panel to pull toward the front of the appliance, lift up 1/4", then slide back while lifting and it will be able to open.
