This is an essential component for the washing machine and if it is not working properly, nothing will work on the unit.The washing machine may not fill the tub with water or advance through any of the cycles if this part has gone bad. These cycles include washing, draining, and spinning. Unplug the washing machine before performing care or maintenance on the unit. Wearing work gloves is recommended for safety to ensure that the hands are not injured during this process. The control board is sold individually. It comes directly from the manufacturer and is a genuine and durable replacement part. This particular part is compatible with washing machine units that are manufactured by the LG brand.

The Lid Switch and Lock Assembly is an OEM component specifically designed for LG washing machines. It contains both the switch that detects when the lid is closed, as well as the metal lock mechanisms that securely engage the lid during active cycles. This switch contains a 47-inch wire harness with 6-pin plugs.

Symptoms of a bad lid switch and lock assembly include:

• The washer not starting or agitating with the lid open
• Inability to fully close or lock the washer lid
• Error codes related to sensed lid position issues

Causes of failure involve wear of lock moving parts combined with mechanical and electrical degradation over thousands of uses. Continuous hinge motions and detergent/cleaner exposure take their toll.

This Lid switch is also compatible with Kenmore units reliant on LG parts.
