What is the model number listed on the unit?The lid lock assembly is broken. If you are under warranty get it replaced. If not remove the top of the washer and take out the switch assembly. The 4 wires going in are Yellow, Red, White, and Blue. If you short the white and blue together, the washer thinks the lid is closed. If you short the red white and blue together the washer thinks the lid is closed and locked. The yellow is only there to activate the electromagnetic switch.
Disconnecting the switch assembly will not work.
The electromagnet locks the lid and it also unlocks the lid. It is not a matter of cutting the power to the magnet.
Installing 2 switches that connect the red white and blue is the best option if you want to remove the lock.
The first switch should connect the white and blue. (LID CLOSED)
The second should connect the red to the white/blue connection. (LID LOCKED)
Can I just wire them all directly together red, white and blue? Is it absolutly nessacary to get switches?
Yes, you need the switch or you risk burning the control board up. What is the model number list under the lid or on the top of the console?
it says part # W10251338. I dont see where the model # is.
That is the part# for the console. There should be a model number list and it should start with MDL#xxxxxxx somewhere on that machine.
Look inside the door.
