When Your Lid Lock Fails… So Does Everything Else

Posted on April 23rd, 2025

Take a look at this scorched lid lock harness from a washer we serviced. This small part plays a BIG role in your washer's operation — and when it fails, it can cause:

🚫 Washer not starting
🚫 Stuck on sensing mode
🚫 Cycles stopping mid-wash
🚫 Error codes like Lid Lock, F5, DL, or E2
🚫 Burnt or melted wires near the lid latch

A damaged or faulty lid lock can prevent your washer from running entirely — or worse, it can short out the control board and lead to major repairs. If your top-load or front-load washer won’t go past sensing, won’t lock the lid, or just refuses to start, Phoenix Appliance Repair is here to help.

We’ll diagnose the issue, check the wiring, and make sure your washer gets back to doing what it does best.
