Steps:

• Check lid alignment: Ensure the lid closes squarely and engages the lock.
• Access lid lock: Remove the top panel or front panel (depending on model) to reach the lid lock assembly. Inspect wiring and reseat connector.
• Replace lid lock: If the lock does not click or engage during spin, replace the lid lock assembly.
