THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I got quoted $300 from different handymen to come fix this AND I already had the piece!!! I said there's no way Im paying that! Found your video, long story short my clothes are washing RIGHT NOW after 2 months of going to the laundry mat. Took all of 30min, life saver thank you, again!!!!

Thank you! Amazon part worked perfect too. Except I tightened one screw that holds the locking mechanism in too much and broke it. But it still works perfect with one screw holding it in lol
My washer isn't identical but holy heck did this help, and quick. And I got the replacement part on Amazon under $30. Took me maybe fifteen minutes? So easy.
Thanks for this video. Your instructions were thorough and made a $240 job a $60 parts job. I followed it step-by-step and it all seems to have worked out fine. One quick note for those watching the video, if you tape the door to the top, you will still need to take the tape off the door to get the locking mechanism to attach to the top. I realize this might be an obvious comment, but it took me a few minutes to fully grasp what was going on.
Very very helpful Only problem I had was I forgot which color to plug into Black or blue Took a chance and put it in black Works great Thank you for your great video
Thanks Great Video , Clear & concise & of course saved me $$. So sad Whirlpool bought Maytag, they ruined the Brand Name buy cheapening the build & components & Customer Service Maytag was INFAMOUS for!
Well done video By chance have you done the lid pin that is in the top cover Mine looks a bit worn Looks like an easy fix ? But remember the old saying// look before you leap !

I have replaced the actuator and lid lock assembly. I have a Bravos X and the sensing light stays lit when trying to run a load and will not start. Any suggestions?
Following. Mine is also connected above and below the lid and when my new part came it is also connected and will need to be separated without breaking it to install top and bottom at the front of the lid. No instructions.
I did the reverse of the installation process to get the clip out. From underneath the lid shove the whole whole part (upper and lower) to the left to release it then slide the upper part left side first down through the hole. The process is in reverse when installing as shown in this video.
The secondary clip attached to the metal frame is stubborn but can be replaced. I did not try to reuse it but the primary latch mechanism popped off with little to no damage. But cosmetic issues from a screwdriver.. the secondary clip that is a mount on the white metal frame (first mentioned) slides UP and to the right from the bottom and comes apart from the main primary latch guts. With a little force from a small flathead on either side. If your latch doesnt come with both from wholesale or online I would make sure you didn't accidentally get issued a return of an old replaced latch from a dishonest return of an old defective latch. Or a cheap imitation which may not have the secondary latch. It may work but replacing both primary and secondary latch parts (guts and mount) is the way to go. Worked for me.
My daughter just went to do a load and it won't lock. I suspect the lid lock, but I had a question. Does the latch that is on the lid which enters the lock have play or is it supposed to be stationary? I want to be sure I send my husband out for the proper things.
Thanks for the video. My Maytag Bravo XL makes a lot of clicking noises the lock won’t engage. Then I hear a beep and it shuts off. No warning or error lights come on. Should I replace the lid lock? Thanks
Yes, if you replace the door lock you will solve the problem. You might get a temporary fix by running a large magnet over the top of the switch before you start the washer. That worked for me a few times before I got the part in the mail

Is this the right one? My washer is the exact same but that doesn't look like the same latch. I need to replace mine but the striker is fine the little metal piece that locks and unlocks the lid broke and I need to just replace the black lock latch not the entire set up
M machine was in 8in of water a few days ago. I tried to run it to see if it works. A little water went in the machine. Then a 2 sec attempt at a spin. Then it stopped. The lid is locked and it won’t do anything. I don’t know what to do. Try to fix? What do I fix? Or get a new one?
Hi Mary, Can you pull the drain hose out of the wall behind the washer and put it into a bucket to let the water drain out. Then the lid will unlock. You can then unplug it and pull it away from the wall by about 2 feet. You can lean it back at 45 degrees against the back wall so you can reach the drain pump. Then remove the screws holding the pump to the washer and look for what’s stopping the drain impeller from turning. After putting it back together it should drain and spin👍
This is great! But there’s an easier hack too. You just take a flat magnet, put it near the edge of the surface of the washer. (not inside the indented part, and towards YOU) (the magnet will find the spot for you where it’s strongest). Nothing inside. No legos. Just place the magnet and you’re good to go! If you use a flat one you can open and close with no problem too.
If your new lid lock comes "prelocked"... follow all steps, and once installed and plugged in... press and hold little white lever on lid lock (facing towards front of machine ) and press start button. Lid lock will unlock
My Maytag was very different. I got the part, but I dreaded fixing for two weeks. After my girlfriend got very angry, my fear got me going. I struggled to open the lid, cause it was different. There was another latch I have to pull and push the lid to open. And then came the metal wire strap. Without this TH-cam and the fear of my girlfriend, I would never think about fixing it. Now I am thinking why these lid lock is mechanical switch instead of optical switch? I am getting it tonight still.
Had this issue but the switch stayed in place. Found out that you slide it to the right to take it off. Thanks for the video
Thanks Jesse👍
I did the flat magnet on mine..all the way out..and its still giving me door lock error codes..sensor bad possibily
Thank you...I just completed replacing my lock lid lock...it would not have been possible without this video.
Glad I could help

Hi how did you get the mechanism off the machine?
If I take the lid lock completely out with Washer Work? Or do you have to have the lid lock?
Very very helpful
Only problem I had was I forgot which color to plug into
Black or blue
Took a chance and put it in black
Works great
Thank you for your great video
Thanks so much Kenneth 😊👍
Thank you for this! I just successfully changed out my lid lock on a slightly different model of the Bravos. On my second load of laundry.
Nicely done😊😊😊

Thanks Scott just what I needed to fix mine!! Your the best man!!
Thanks so much 👍😊
Well done video
By chance have you done the lid pin that is in the top cover
Mine looks a bit worn
Looks like an easy fix ? But remember the old saying// look before you leap !
I’m sorry I haven’t done that one, but I bet it’s easy👍
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel
Hi
I think it just twists out counter clock wise
But not sure !
Actually legitimately thank you for the video
You’re very welcome 👍
Thank you. I am now confident do do my repair if the new part is still available
I just ordered one on Amazon about 20min ago! Sears had it for over $100 and Amazon was $33!

Lid lock replacement came prelocked. How do I unlock it once the machine is back on?
Thanks for doing what you do. I watched another video to check my water pump and it was wrong how to raise to lid so we damaged the lid switch.
Glad you fixed it😊
I have replaced the actuator and lid lock assembly. I have a Bravos X and the sensing light stays lit when trying to run a load and will not start. Any suggestions?
Excellent video- followed step by and it was breeze! Thank you!!!!!!
Thanks so much Brian😊👍
My lid lock didn't just magically pop off like yours did. What tabs go I need to squeeze to make it come off?

When it locks, there should be a little play.
Thank you so much but what exact part do I need to purchase sorry for the “idiotic” question 😂
Just needs a new lid switch 😊
Great video, my maytag bravos will not unlock stuck in a cycle. I did the hard reset, lid keeps clicking but will not unlock. Any ideas? Thanks!
Can you push down on the lid to see if that helps?
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel I tried that, ordered a new switch hope it works
Is there anyway to bypass the lid lock? It's been replaced 3 times on my parents'washer.There are no animals or children to worry about.
I’m not sure if it can be bypassed.
That’s a bad design for it to have failed 3 times.
Hello, I have a solid sensing light and a solid lid lock light, would this be my issue?
Thank you,
Can you unplug for 3 hours and then plug it back in to see if it will run?
It went exactly like u said. Thank u. EZ
Awesome,I’m so glad it worked 😊
How did you remove the looking mechanism ?
Yes hi. How did you get if off?
According to this video it just pops off magically. If he hasn't answered your post I doubt he'll answer mine.
Yeah I’ve been looking for the same thing. When he lifts the lid in his video it’s just hanging there by the wiring. No explanation.
Yeah wtf… The one part of the video I need.

I have this same machine the lock only engages on the empty/spin cycle and it doesn't fill in any cycle. Can you help?
Thanks Sheila,
That’s good that it engages during spin. I think you might need a new water inlet valve to let the water in during fill.
Great video thanks
You’re very welcome 😊👍
