How do i bypass the lid lock on a roper machine

On this model you cannot pass the cover lock / lock assembly and, if you do, you should disconnect it with each wash cycle so that the control panel sees the cover as open.

Replacing it is a better option. Depending on your model, problem may be something else.

Yes you can turn washer upside down find switch cut the wires twist together and tape up bare wires
One problem you have disabled a safety feature with risks to your or other user safety
Is it a lid or door lock you want to disable if it is a door lock switch risk of flooding rooms is higher

First off you shouldn't!!
you may cause more problems and cost !
more important if you want someone to answer your question a model number is needed !

Lid lock will have to be replaced if it is not locking door. It can't be bypassed.

Check/replace the lid switch - modern Roper machines are direct drive. You can bypass the switch (join the contacts with a conductor) but it is a safety feature for a reason.

For the washer to operate the lid must be fully closed, the timer must be pulled out, and the water must be drained.
The main causes for not spinning are:

Lid partially or completely open

Lid or other object has hit the timer knob and turned the washer off

Lid not locked (by the way, not on all washers) and may be not draining.
Make sure the lid is completely closed. Make sure that no clothing is in the lid area.

Make sure the Timer knob is pulled out.
The lid must be closed and locked for the washer to operate. Once the lid is closed, make sure the desired cycle is still selected and then press the Start button and listen for the lid to lock.
Make sure there are no loose metal objects such as coins and paper clips in the lid opening area. Metal objects can prevent magnetic switches from reacting correctly when the lid is closed.


If the washer has not drained, it will not go into spin.
Hope this works.....
