I had to do this and your video helped me, washing machine working now

Right on! It worked!

So wait - we’re not the only ones that can’t get the damn thing to balance???

freaking blurry! nothing helpful.

Jesus, you instructions are on a 5 year olds level. I can't understand a thing that you are doing. "Move this here, press that there, pop up this thing...."

When i replace the ge lid lock switch no my washer wont start cycle?

I want you to know I did this just now, because i pulled this stupid thing and I genuinely appreciate you so much.

I love you so much

Thank you! You just saved me lmao.

Mine was broken into pieces. How do I make my washer work without it ?It's a sensor washer 😢😢

You are my kind of people. Up and working again. Thank you sir.

Biggest piece of junk washer ever. I’ve spent 5 hours today trying to get my sheets and blankets to spin. Finally just ripped the lid open out of pure frustration. The commentary was dead on, great job friend

WHO in their right fucking mind sticks their arm in a spinning wash-a-machine anyway? (maybe the deaf and blind but they probably don't F with washing machines in the 1st place) like even little children ain't that stupid. You can Idiot proof society all ya want, but ya can't fix STUPID!!;;!😂😂😂

GE has really taken a fucking dive bro, 4 sure!!!

Is bro filming this during an earthquake or is this dude just shaky AF?? Somebody needs to lay off the coffee!! 😂😂😂 Nice trick though, this switch is a total and complete P.O.S.!!!

Thank you, Sir, I hate this piece of SH#T!

You are my hero today

Awesome. I have the same POS machine. I was out of balance again, I got pissed and ripped the cover open. This hack was great. Now I can wash again. Until I take a hammer to it next time. Thanks for the tip and great video

I was just in that area last week.. Probably the same time you were.

Thank you for this! Your trick will get me by til my new switch comes in.

I just want to kiss you! My husband thinks I can do nothing and if I had to wait for him to fix anything, I might as well wait until next year. Plus, I hate this stupid cheap washinhg machine too. I feel like a queen, my clothes are washing away!!

I wish your camera was more focused and not moving alll over the place I don't see how to put the first piece back in

Can I do the same steps with a 490ACJ5WS? The switch mechanism is attached to the wiring, there is no separating

If this is not the problem does that mean it's the circuit board

I could not thank you enough. I first fought with the lid just to get it open. Cause it decided to play the lock and unlock game with me. After I got it open, and figured out what was wrong with the damn thing. I found this video and you’re a life saver. God bless you, cause I almost lost my shit with how annoyed I was. ❤

I knew at the beginning of this video the tone in you voice this was the one haha Your hate for your washer and your helpful tip gave me hope to not throw my washer thank you!

Thanks dude! Hopefully this pos washer will work now

I have watched ur video 10 times and still can't get my washer to work hhheeelllpppp

My man, still working in 2024! I replaced the switch 3 weeks ago and then last night it starts doing the same fkn thing! Will not be replacing my modified switch LOL Thanks a million, friend!

Please welcome me to the hate washing machine club.

This was a little difficult to follow, and I had to go back a few times... BUT THIS VIDEO IF FUCKING AWESOME! I was a le to fix my washer that stopped FULL of hot water and a load of soapy laundry. You rock my guy!! 🎉

What if I’m only getting 50v from my circuit board to the lift lock?

What if you can’t get it open at all?!

This video might as well have had my name on it because I just ripped the stupid door open and now it won't spin. I despise these new machines. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thank you so much!

Dude! You just saved my day off!. This worked 100%. Thanks for posting this!

You described exactly what happened with my piece of poop washer. I hated it so much that I ripped the lid open and I was happy that I did hoping that I had solved the problem and then the next load didn’t work. When I played your video, I had to laugh out loud for a little while

This video, literally, made my whole day. Just bought a used washer. Brought it home wasn’t spinning. Started diagnosing bummed because I’ve been needing a washer AND I JUST BOUGHT THIS THING…lid lock switch was broke. FOUND THIS VIDEO AND BAMMM….IT’S WORKING. Thank you so much

Thank you! Both for helping me fix my machine and your commentary so I didn’t feel alone with my anger towards an inanimate object!

Stupid machine!!

I hate my GE washer so much and all the people associated with it. Have had the lid lock sensor replaced 5 TIMES now and the unit is not even a year old. GE is refusing to replace the entire washer - I have always fixed my out of warranty appliances myself but if this shit continues with the lid lock I need to bypass the damn thing. Thank you for the video!!!

Did yours not lock then work or did it not recognize the door was shut? Mine shows lid was shut but doesn't lock

My man, you are our hero right now. Whole family got hit with a stomach bug yesterday and then this blizzard hit us today and everything's shut down. And yep, our shitty GE washer that's only 3 years old decided it'd be great timing to throw this "Lid not closed" error. Thanks to you, got it working again for at least the weekend until it can be properly repaired and we won't have a bunch of kids clothes and bed sheets smelling like vomit in the meantime!

Truly works!! Christmas Eve and can't get parts or repair person. Here I am hoping TH-cam can recuse me. Sure enough I found this wonderful man, easy to fix and now 3 washing loads later here I am to say huge THANK YOU!!

Thank you so much.

I cannot tell what hell you're doing after having removed the switch... if you gonna do something then do it right..

Your technique is still relevant in December 2023. Just applied it and I'm back washing...... Thank you

My lid lock started acting up (turning on and off for and beginning of cycle), then washer would not start. I removed it, one prong looked corroded. I sanded it and scraped it with needle nose pliers. I put it back and now it works

I tried this but even when the machine thinks it’s closed it still won’t lock

No kids, but sure do have a shit quality washing machine. God bless you sir. 🙏

We pay so much for these things you would think they would make them better
