Don’t force the lid open and break the lid locks.
Here is the Service Manual and parts look up;
FAV6800A/FAV9800A Service Manual for reference. Sears Parts Direct for reference.
Use this procedure for releasing the washer top from the base;
Un plug the 120VAC power cord to the washer.
To raise the top of the machine. Insert a flat blade putty knife approximately 2.5” from the left and right sides of the washer top, depress the spring tabs securing machine top to the washer base. See page 33 of the SM for putty knife insertion point.
Here is the pic from page 33.
This will get the clothes out.
With the washer top raised gently push to Left and Right lid lock latches to outside of the lid the unlock position.
You can now lower the washer top to the base.
Do you want to DIY the OP error code?
The OP error code could be caused by a Lid Magnet out of position. To do a quick check with the lid open power up the washer. Do you have the OP error code showing? If so take a large magnet and place it over the grey left lid bumper and see if the OP error code will clear the LED display. A Pic for reference;
If that doesn’t clear the OP error code we would need to do deeper troubleshooting. Are you up for that? Let me know……Rich

If you place a couple magnets over the left gray bumper and the "OP" error code doesn't clear then I feel you have a problem with the Left Hand Lid Lock.
