This instructor was very clear and reassuring. I ordered the part, put it on while the video played, and the machine worked fine. Plus, the new latch design was a definite improvement over the original one.
our laudry cabinet fell off the wall, right above our washer/dryer, but the only thing that broke on the washer was the hook part of the lid latch. This video helped me get it off with the small hole pin release. New part will be here tomorrow, should take 5 seconds to install. THANKS!!!
Thank you for the excellent instructional video. You saved me a couple hundred dollars. My GE washer had the "LID" notification scrolling. Installing the Lid Lock kit brought it back to 100% operation. Thanks again!
So your saying I should get the whole lid lock replacement with harness , back to board ? I replaced the lid lock today had the black lock mech, ordered and delivered in 8 hours , and it still worlnt lock
This video was awesome for showing how to disassemble the washer. I was able to repair my switch by spraying it with contact cleaner followed by WD-40. Hope it holds up
Did you figure out what the problem was? Mine us doing the same thing. I think it's in the setting...It doesn't like Super load on Speed Wash. Seem to work better on Medium or large on speed wash. Mine love to rest an hour or two between washes.....I don't think i will ever buy another GE product. I can't stand a ticky appliance.
Did u find any solution? Im having the same problem. Just ordered a control board see if that fixes the problems.. ran test nd it detected the lid switchh not working. Replaced still the samee.. hope this board workss...
I am having the same "LID" error when I try to run a load. I am oretty sure my lil one broke the latch on the glass lid as everyrhing else turns on and works. Anyways, it has been a few days and I desperately need to do laundry ASAP.....either with a lid lock "over-ride" or by ordering the part!! Besides wondering if I can bypass the lid lock/switch in order to run a load or two- I am also wondering if I need the entire part that you replaced in your AMAZING video since I doubt the plug and wiring harness (or whatever it's called) actually needs replaced?? Anyway, my Model # is: GE GTW685BSL1WS. I would truly appreciate any and ALL advice you can offer so I can get this fixed quickly!!! Thank you very much for this video and for your perfect instructions on how to replace the entire mechanism!!!
There isn't anyway to be able to override the lid lock, you would have to get whole assembly. The part number you would be needing is AP6027541. Below is the link to the part so you can look at it. If you have any questions please let us know! www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-lid-lock-harness-wh19x24141-ap6027541.html
You wouldn't have to go through all this crap if you had a ol school washer!!! Ol school washers is waaay better than any new modern junk they call washers today!!!
This Video was so Helpful! Everything went well & worked for a few days.... Now it's doing the same thing with the new Switch.....Please HELP! After not bothering it for an hour or so it starts back up but will not spin all the water out.....This has been Horrible
Glad you were able to remove the lid lock without taking anything apart. Some models maybe a little more trickery than yours and you may have to remove some parts for the appliance in order to get to the lid lock.
I just replaced the lid lock in my GE Profile washer just like this and now it won’t even engage the lock and the display keeps flashing “lid” message. I’ve did the reset method and after entering diagnostic mode it’s showing error 23 which is for the lid lock mechanism which I just replaced. Only thing I didn’t replace was the latch itself. Thoughts???
I replaced the Lid lock kit step by step but now my washer won’t turn on, it just makes a sound as if it wants to spin but doesn’t spin any recommendation much appreciated
Yes, the lid is strong glass. We have had our washer for 5 years with no problems with the lid glass. We did need to have a circuit board installed under warranty and I just completed this lid lock repair. Otherwise the washer has worked well.
You can try unplugging the unit for a few minutes to see if it will unlock that way. If there is still water left in the tub you can try hitting the spin and drain cycle to see if it will drain the water and unlock the lid. If that doesn't work you may need to remove the top so you can access the door lock and manually unlock it. We would need the model number of your unit to get the steps for you to do that.
Found this washer thrown out on the side of the road for scrappers and all it was missing was the lock and sensor. Only spent 80 for the parts to fix it and now I have a washer for only 80 bucks
Did you find a board . I think I need one too . I tried jumping the lid lock connection and I think I messed up the mother board . The lid lock is getting signal it’s just not engaging the locking mechanism
One thing people may notice is that the old switch and the old bezel are NOT available any more. This new switch is chearper and comes with all the parts you need to replace your old one. Now more spring loaded level on top.
Hello, I’m hoping you can help me. I have the same washer that is in the video. I replaced the lid lock assembly and my washer is doing this thing where it is locks and operates as it should but then you hear the latch clicking and then the washer ends like it is finished but remains locked. It keeps doing this even though I have unplugged it and even manually unlocking it and trying another load. It will fill and run for about 5 minutes and randomly will start making a clicking sound where the lid lock is and again end and make the sound that the load is finished even though it’s still full of water and locked. Please help.
Can you just leave the kids lock unplugged and NOT have to deal with it anymore? I tried to disable it and accidentally broke it and now i can't get it to work at all...😭i HATE this lid lock.
Back Again.......I have Notice it works better on (Normal) Setting....Not Speed Wash....It seem to do better with (Resting) between Loads......I just need to wash & be Thru for the day though.......I Am Not A GE Fan anymore.....although 80% of our Appliances are GE....Think Seriously about replacing them one by one when needed with Whirlpool.

Thank you so much. I used these instructions to replace the lid lock striker on a ge gtw720bsn0ws and it worked like a charm!
You are very welcome!
I already replaced the lid lock, but the washer is still the same. What happened?

Agreed, my model may be different. Hoping GE custy service gets back to me asap.
I have a GE top load quiet wash. replaced lid lock , did not fix. How can I force it to run a wash
lid is closed wont work
Have you checked for loose or damaged wires? Have you recently had a power outage? What is your model number of the washer?
Awesome job. Very helpful.
Glad we were able to help you out.

I was able to change the lid lock without taking anything apart, it can be reached by moving the tub over twards the lid lock and reaching under.

What is the model number of your washer and we can look into this for you.
I replaced the Lid lock kit step by step but now my washer won’t turn on, it just makes a sound as if it wants to spin but doesn’t spin any recommendation much appreciated
Have you recently had any type of power outage? What is the model number of your washer?
GTW460ASJ5WW- haven’t had any problems with power outage.
I have the same issue . I just changed mine yesterday.
With the old lid lock I would get a clicking sound .
No sound with this one just the hesitation of wanting to spin …
Wow complete details this video we thanks for DIY.
Is yours still working? Mine Started back doing the same thing.
My washer gets stuck on SeNsInG and will not spin or fill. Is this a result of a bad lid lock switch?
What is the model number of your washer and we can look into this for you.
@appliancepartspros PTW700BPT0DG. Last night we unplugged it and plugged it back in and it wouldnt turn back on.
Have you recently had any type of power outages? Do you happen to have a multimeter?
@@appliancepartspros no, we have not. I do not have a multimeter. Could probably obtain a cheap one.
Have you checked the breaker to make sure that it didn't trip?
Is the lid glass on this model? Does it often break?
Yes, the lid is strong glass. We have had our washer for 5 years with no problems with the lid glass. We did need to have a circuit board installed under warranty and I just completed this lid lock repair. Otherwise the washer has worked well.
How do I know which part is damaged? Know that my machine stopped working?
Do you have any power coming to the machine at all? What is your model number?
GOOD VIDEO... Thank you
You're welcome!
How do you trouble shoot the switch lid can it be omm out
That switch should have continuity coming to it.
My lid is locked and will not unlock, what should I do?
You can try unplugging the unit for a few minutes to see if it will unlock that way. If there is still water left in the tub you can try hitting the spin and drain cycle to see if it will drain the water and unlock the lid. If that doesn't work you may need to remove the top so you can access the door lock and manually unlock it. We would need the model number of your unit to get the steps for you to do that.
@ ok will reply soon but your quick response is very much appreciated, but it’s the same washer from this video.
Good luck! Let us know if you have anymore questions!

How do you order to part,can you send link
What part are you looking for? Do you happen to have the model number of the washer?
Anyone have the part # to the board the switch plugs into? I accidentally shorted the switch out causing it to damage the board…..
Did you find a board . I think I need one too . I tried jumping the lid lock connection and I think I messed up the mother board . The lid lock is getting signal it’s just not engaging the locking mechanism
