Dude! Your willingness to take 2 minutes out of your day to post this video saved not only me, but I’m sure many others, the frustration and money to getting it fixed from an outside source! Here’s to you! 🥃
I cant thank you enough. I ordered a new lid locking mechanism kit. And after hand washing my clothes for the last week and change decided I needed to buckle down and watch all the youtube videos I could find about installing it. Thank goodness your video was in my search queue. So instead of struggling for the next few hours I just plugged my washing machine back in, as you suggested, and the light was no longer flashing. I am washing clothes as I write and moving on to the next repair on my list. You've helped me start with a big win. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! 🤩
Oh my goodness you are a lifesaver!! I had this same problem; watched your video and now....It works!! Thanks a bunch for making and sharing this video!! 😊
I have this exact model, this video helped me find the little switch. Mine wasn't moving quite right from soap or hard water or something. I just moved it by hand a few times and she came right back to life!
Thank you soooo very much. I lost my husband recently, and I am alone and have no help. Every little thing that goes wrong is a big worry to me. Thank you. Thank you!!!
Thank you SO much!!! I have a washer just like yours, the red light was on and blinking all day long I thought I might needed another washer. I decided to look it it up and found your video. I did what you said, I unplugged and plugged after a bit and sure enough it worked!! Thank you for taking the time to share!
Hey, I really appreciate that you posted this. I actually had already tried unplugging for 10 seconds, but the fact that it worked for you made me decide to try again. I waited 30 seconds instead, and it's working!!!!
I'm far from a genius. 🤣 I just like to share things I think will help others. I can't believe how many people have seen and used this little trick. Glad it helped you!
Sir, u are a life saver! I’ve been watching videos about the lid lock issue and all them went to same direction and that was replacing the whole lid lock part. As soon as I saw your video and did what u said after 10 sec the error code went away. Thank u so much!
Thank you so much for posting. I have a washer just like yours and am going to try this. I looks like from your experience and the comments below it should hopefully do the trick and get me up and going again.
Same good news to me! I was fixing to call service man and thought I’d follow my grandsons example and check utube. Followed simple steps and my load is washing right now. Reboot, reboot, reboot!!
Hey Michael. Thanks for the video. I have this same washer and I'm hoping you can help. When I start the washer, cold and hot water fills as normal. I've checked the pressure. But the water won't stay in the tub. The water keeps running on sensing.
Thanks! I was bummed to see that flashing light and thought I'd give unplugging it a try after watching your video. Funny thing is I had to lean onto the top to get back down to the plug and when I did, I heard the lock click. So before I unplugged it I tried it, and it started! So perhaps even try putting a little weight on the lid over the lock mechanism to see if it clicks like mine did. lol Grateful it's running now.
Super helpful! Power cycling the washer didn't work, but I'm glad you explained the switch for the lock. Just needed to play with that a bit and got it back to responding! Great vid
boy this low effort video helped a lot of people. it is kind of troubleshooting 101. unplug, wait ( usually more than 10 seconds.... at least a minute ) and plug back in. great that he helped so many people tho. there are others resets besides this basic one for these type of machines. keep searching youTube... you will find them.
Thank ye soooo much daisy sir! ah couldn't use me washin' machaahn fer a month 'til ah finally found this video 'n then, it done worked fuhrst try. 'allelujah!!
Mybwasher is doing that right now.. for the past week I unplug it it works for a load but the back to flashing and I have to keep unplugging it. Any suggestions as to why it won't stop?
My machine is wtw5000d2 an I tried unplugging, over night still continuous lid lock light, the fact yours had a second light on, would only indicate the potential to reset ,
@@miriamvelasco1180 I just manually engaged the lock on the door by pulling it out, and that started the cycle. We’ll see if it needs another solution in the future.
This just happened to me at almost 2am i am writing this. I unplugged it and nothing, proceeded to do it 2 more times with each time a longer wait to plug it back in and still nothing. So i come inside youtube this problem and your vid popped up. I thought to myself well i unplugged it many times so i walk back out and the lock light wasnt on anymore! I just pushed the start button and it seems to be washing! I guess it just needed a few mins to rest? Not sure, but i appreciate you making the time to record 😎
Thank you for this video. My question is how do I get rid of this and bypass it. I'm not a child. I don't have children in the house. I want to be able to not have my stuff locked in case of power outage.
My lid lock light was blinking but the lid was not locked. I tried to unplug to reset but it didn't fix it. When I plugged it back in, I pressed the start button and the sensing light started blinking. I waited about 10 minutes and it didn't change, If I press the start button, the lock button lights up and water runs for about a second then it turns off again. Any suggestions?
my husband and I are 77 and 74 years old. we have a whirlpool top loader washer. I did a loaf of clothes and the lid was locked at end of cycle. I looked for help on you tube and unplugged it for 10 seconds and it worked. you don't know how much you helped us and saved a service call. THANK YOU!
My lock socket was actually displaced and dangling under where it should be. I reached under, like he did and pushed it back into place and started my cycle
It worked!!! And this single mom is so grateful! Thank you, sir!!
Two years later and you’re still saving the day!! Thank you!
Facts!!!!
Had exactly the same thoughts until I saw this video. Fixed it right away! You are a champion amongst men.
Dude!

This has happed several times but Today it has been locked I already tried unplugging and plugging back in but nothing has worked it has been hours
What do you think causes the LID blinking light problem which is resolved by unplugging?
Thank you very much for this video...2024...it had helped me..God bless
You're very welcome. Easy fix but most people don't think about it.
Worked perfect for me, and really saved me! Thank you
