Possible Causes

Failed lid lock solenoid, jammed lock mechanism, control not sending unlock signal, warped lid causing binding

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the washer before attempting manual lid release.

  • Wait and reset: Allow several minutes after cycle end, then unplug for 5 minutes and plug back in to see if the lid unlocks.
  • Manual release: Access the lid lock from under the top panel and use the manual release tab or lever (if provided) to open the lid.
  • Inspect lock and lid: Check for physical damage, misalignment, or warping that could bind the lock.
  • Replace lid lock assembly: If the lock repeatedly fails to release, install a new Amana lid lock assembly.
