Lid won't close - Black & Decker Kitchen Appliances - Others

The system needs to know the lid is closed and locked before it will move onto the next stage of the programme - it needs feedback from the lid switch.

I had the same problem. The lid won’t close because it won’t latch. I found that if I tighten the Philips screw that holds the latch, it fixes it.

Possible that the lid switch alignment is not proper and so does not activate when the lid is closed. Please reset this lid once again and check the switch continuity with a meter when the lid is shut

Take the disc out, hold the disc holder down flat, then close the lid. Open up and will work as normal. If this works for you, please visit sun-light. co.uk

"LO" means the washer's lid is not closed
.

What is the model number?

Remove the bulb if you think it runs the battery down. the switch is part of the latch assembly of the trunk.

Have you tried to run it for a cycle? What exactly does not come on? Is the lid totally closed?

Many washing machines won't spin or drain if the lid isn't closed. It could be that the switch detecting the lid close position isn't working or the tang that presses the switch isn't depressing the switch enough. Check to see if the lid is closing all the way, if so, then locate lid close switch and pressing on the switch with a Q-tip. If other functions stop when the lid is opened and work when the lid is closed then you have another problem. The problem could be in the wash cycle switch, try spin and rinse all the different settings.
