If you look on the lid there is a tab that when you close the door, it goes down into a hole and in this hole is a switch. either the tab is broke or the switch is bad.

good luck

Pot doesn't shut automaticly when starts boiling

I had this problem too, but once I made sure the lid was securely closed, it was able to build up enough pressure inside of the carafe that it flipped the switch to off. So I'd try making sure the lid is snapped closed, which takes a bit more pressure than you'd think.

Be careful about doing this while it's boiling though! Steams a b**ch

Our washer is filling with water but will not run the cycle after it fills. We were able open and close the lid and it would start but now it only fills with water...Please help!!!

the lid switch is buggered the lid can be open while its filling but when it goes to start washing the lid needs to be shut so the lid switch isnt working so the machine thinks the lids open.

My whirlpool top load washer won't drain and spin

This is likely to be a problem with the lid switch.the lid switch is activated by the lid stricker when you lower the lid.these machines will normally fill & wash without needing the lid closed but when it gets to spinning & draining the lid must be closed,so the machine is acting as though the lid is open.the lid has probably been dropped or slammed shut & this can break the lid switch from where it mounts with 2 phillips head screws.

Printer lid wont shut

Make sure you have successfully seated the cartridges you replaced. They may be preventing the lid from closing.

I am unable to unhibernate

Power down the computer and power back up. Lets just shut hibernation off...you can always just have the computer sleep...it is much better on the system anyway.

Shutting Down Hibernation

Go to the control panel > Power Options > Hibernation tab > uncheck hibernate…this way you save a lot of disc space and don’t have to go through all the intermittent hibernation problems that occur. After you uncheck hibernation, you can go to the other power options and change how the computer reacts to the lid being closed, when it sleeps and for how long before sleep kicks in. Make sure to change the setting for what happens when lid closes to “do nothing” this will keep the laptop alive even though you close the lid to move it, etc.

Lid Error

Most systems either have a photo interrupter or a switch on the top to let the copier know its closed. Since you had it moved most likely they knocked it out of its position.Or broke the tab or plunger off.
