Lid switch isn't working

HI,
The lid switch has a in circuit fuse within the case, this can cause a total shut down. As for the timer, this is possible too, but I would lean toward the lid switch first.
Lid Switch

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gere_bf68e6055dd61249

Sounds like the switch that the lid presses is either broken or has been knocked loose.

Or the little plastic or metal "switch actuator" (the little poker) that presses the switch has broken.

I believe the washer thinks the lid is open because it will fill up but wont't wash until it knows the lid is shut.

The screws you have to remove are in the bottom corners of the plastic end caps kind of on an angle.When removed move control forward and up.

If you still have enough surface area to work with, you can repair the plastic where the screws go with two part epoxy. You can get it in a package that looks like a big double barreled syringe. Take the switch right out, cut a piece of plastic from a plastic lid or something similar to fit, and glue it on with the epoxy. When it is dry, drill two very small holes where the screws are supposed to go, and reinstall it. It will probably outlast the machine. (do not try to fix it with crazy glue or anything like that. You need the thickness of the epoxy)

Here is a link to show you how to access the switch.

if it is a top loader,,,remove the screws in each end of the control panel,,,some units you have to remove the end caps to access the screws,,,then pull slightly forward on the panel and flip it back it is on hinges,,,,then remove the 2 clips that hold the back to the base,,,unplug the lid switch,,then open the lid and grab the inner lid section and pull the rear of the base towards you slightly and lift off the base,,,, then you can access the lid switch and replace it ,,,,

Your problem is more likely a broken lid switch. To test for this, lift the washer cover and look for a small hole in the washer top where the cover was. Push a toothpick gently into the hole and press the piece of plastic you see in the hole downward and listen for a soft clicking sound. If you don't hear a click or the plastic tab is not in the hole replace the lid switch.

Unplug the washer. Check the actuator on the lid that operates the lid switch to see if broken. Open the console of the washer. After removing the screws, the console will lift up and hinge back. Disconnect the plug going to the lid switch. Picture. Check the lid switch [lid closed] with an ohm meter from the wire plug-in leading to the switch. If no continuity, replace the lid switch. You will need to remove the cabinet to replace the switch. There are only a couple screws holding the lid switch assembly and a ground wire connection to the cabinet. Reassemble the washer and test the operation.

Unplug washer, remove the two console screws and tilt console back, remove cabinet clips, unlock lid switch block and then remove the cabinet. Remove the lid switch mounting screws, disconnect ground wire and remove lid switch assembly. Compare old switch to the new one. If the plastic sleeve of the new switch is longer, break off at the score mark. Pull wire partially out of sleeve before shortening sleeve. If the sleeve had to be shortened, the wires must be looped to take up the excess wire. Use supplied wire tie from the new kit. Install new switch assembly. New lid switch

Pay VERY close attention to assembling case back onto base so that sides engage tabs in base.

on the corners of unit console ,,are plastic end caps,,pull them of with your hand ,,grasp it and tug hard,,now you see 2 a scew under each cap..remove screws ,,than flip the console back...now under the console theres three screws holding lid dowb,,remove them slide lid forward ,,,but screw for door switch are on the bottom of front door panel..always unplug first...onthejob

LID code could mean that the door lid switch is not pressed. try to shut the door completely or the lid switch could have been broken. or the plastic that should press the lid switch could have been broken also. it is attached to the door i hope i was able to help.
