Washer lid will not lock on a high-efficiency top-load Inglis model; cycle will not start or spin.

Safety First: Unplug the washer before working near the lid lock.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Inspect striker: Check the plastic striker on the lid for damage or misalignment. Replace if broken.
• 2. Check lid alignment: Ensure the lid closes squarely and fully engages the lock.
• 3. Access lid lock: Remove the top panel or front panel (depending on design) to reach the lock. Inspect for cracks or burn marks.
• 4. Replace lid lock: Disconnect wiring, remove mounting screws, and install a new lid lock assembly.
