How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before working near the lid switch.

  • Check lid closure: Ensure the lid closes fully and the strike aligns with the switch opening.
  • Inspect switch: Remove the top panel to access the lid switch or lock. Look for broken plastic, loose mounting, or damaged wiring.
  • Test continuity: With a multimeter, check the switch for continuity when the lid is closed. Replace if it does not change state.
  • Reassemble and test: After replacing or adjusting, run a spin cycle to confirm the F1 code is cleared.
