Maytag neptune TL (TOP LOAD) fav6800aww washer

Ok Ready? I have a Maytag washer that keeps blowing out lid locks 5 in almost 1.5 years and they have had to put new top packs, new top, not the lid you open, anyways I found that handy troubleshooting guide hidden in the back of the machine, (sneaky maytag repairmen)its digital with all those troubleshooting codes and It gave a a code of 17? and on the guide it said do a lid lock test and NO where on that paper were lid lock instructions I bought the satanic machine in 05 within two weeks it broke a lid lock and the put a new top cover, does that top cover have anything to do with the lid lock? Did I mention I bouught it as a scratch and dent and it is dented on that right side under the lid lock that breaks all the time? The refused to give me another machine and maytag refused saying it was still repairable,,,help me ohh the locks are new just replaced them just gettin the error cose OP which means lid open, yes my magnet is in place how could a magnet be defective I cant figure it out at all. Sears is coming to fix without warranty so please help before they suck me dry! Ha HA no didnt buy from there should have, better customer service than Maytag..lol
