Why does the lid lock light start flashing after the wash cycle and will not rinse or spin?

There are a few potential causes for your Midea front loader washing machine not spinning. Some possible reasons include:

• Overloading: If the machine is overfilled with clothes, it may not be able to spin properly. Try removing some of the clothes and running the spin cycle again.
• Belt problem: The belt that connects the motor to the drum may be loose or damaged, preventing the drum from spinning.
• Drainage issue: If the machine is not draining properly, the spin cycle may not be able to begin. Check to make sure the drain hose is not clogged and that the pump is functioning properly.
• Control Board problem: The control board is responsible for controlling the machine's functions. If it is malfunctioning, it may prevent the machine from spinning.
• Lid switch: The lid switch is responsible for detecting if the lid is open or closed. If the lid switch is faulty, the machine may not spin.

It's best to check the owner's manual for troubleshooting steps specific to your washing machine, or contact the manufacturer for further assistance. If the problem persists, it is advisable to get it checked by a professional technician.

Bypass the lid lock so it is seen as activated all the time.

When lid lock flashes, that is an indication of a bad lid lock in some of the mvw washers.(depending on your unit and model number &error codes)

Good Day,
your machine is normal is washing cycle?
if yes.do the same
for the fully automatic washing machine mostly have drain pump, please check the filter of your drain pump, if clog your drain pump of some hair pins,cotton buds or coins or any small item,that the cause of water stuck,and it will long time draining or totally not running the drain pump.and its cause of stop of cycle of washing machine in rinse time or spin time,because after washing the pump must be on to remove water before start the next cycle.

think ur voltage is too low..usually frigidaire brand washer is 220v,..usually starting of spinning has a high ampere and it need a high volt electrical supply..try to check ur main breaker for washer only..ur lid lock will lock after 10secs when it spin fast...

There is a Light Flashing on my Indesit Washing Machine

Many of our newer Indesit Washing Machines have a series of indicator lights, which flash to indicate a possible fault on your installation or simply to let you know a problem occurred whilst you were away from your Indesit Washing Machine.

Pre wash light flashing
Indicates a failure of your Indesit Washing Machine to fill correctly. Check your fill hoses for a blockage, a leak, a kink or to make sure that they are turned on.

Wash light flashing
Indicates that your programme dial has been moved from its original position. Simply returning the wash dial to its original position will restore the light to its original status.

Spin light flashing
Indicates that the Indesit Washing Machine has considered the wash load to be excessively un-balanced. Open up the door of the Indesit Washing Machine, re-distribute the garments and retry the spin to resolve this.

End light flashing
Indicates that the Indesit Washing Machine has reached the end of a wash programme.

Wash, rinse and spin lights all lit at the same time would indicate a possible blockage in your under sink wastes system. Check out the additional informationin our 'My Indesit Washing Machine Will Not Empty'

Raise and lower your lid six times to reset timers.

Hi there,

You can use the child lock feature in 2 ways.

1. To prevent operation of the washing machine when no wash cycle is running

To set this feature, switch the machine on using the POWER button at the top-left of the control-panel. Next, press and hold both the SPIN and RINSE buttons for about 3 seconds - until the child lock light indicator on the control panel illuminates. All functions of the washing machine will now be disabled apart from POWER ON/OFF until such time as the child lock is deactivated.

To deactivate the child lock, press and hold the SPIN and RINSE buttons again until the child lock light indicator on the control panel goes out.

2. To prevent any tiny fingers from tampering with the machine while a program is running.

After pressing the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle, press and hold the SPIN and RINSE buttons until the child lock light indicator illuminates. All buttons on the control panel will now be disabled until the child lock has been disabled. When the wash cycle has finished, you will need to switch the child lock off again to reactivate the buttons. Once you have finished using the washer, reactivate the child lock again before switching the power off as above.

The feature can also be used when using the delayed start feature, but needs to be set after pressing the START/PAUSE button.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Regards,
BElectric

Sounds like the lid switch is malfunctioning. The contacts in the switch may be dirty or rusted. Push down on your switch button and listen for the little click, if it still has a little click to it, spray a little WD40 on it while repeatidly pushing it down several times. Reply back to this post and let me know how you made out.
