Ge washer lid lock - GE Washing Machines

Our GE top-load washer would sometimes quit before the spin cycle. It would make 2 or 3 loud clicks and quit. Other times it worked fine. Problem was with the lid lock. On the lid there is a loop that fits into a slot in the washer top when the lid is closed. That loop is magnetic. Somehow, a small safety pin got magnetically attached to the back side of the loop. Washer works fine with the safety pin removed.

Most likely the drain pump is plugged with a soak or other small item.

... this: Sensing led (Green) on, the lid locking led (Red) blinking with a clicking noise ... red led light goes off green led light stays on and the washer does not start.

It is usually within the lock mechanism, try putting a small bar or something That look like the bar of door latch thru female mechanism, It should start when activated ( stop It when it´s filling up before There is enough water, you should not get swamp... )

Model number please

SHOULD BE THE LID SWITCH... THERE IS TWO SWITCHS INSIDE, ONE THAT STOP THE MACHINE, AND ONE TO LOCK THE DOOR. YOU SHOULD SEE THERE IS TWO PAIRS OF WIRES THAT CONECT WITH THE LID SWITCH, ONE PAIR IN THE FRONT, AND ANOTHER PAIR IN THE RIGHT SIDE, THAT RIGHT SIDE IS THE PROBLEM, INSIDE THE LID SWITCH MUST BE BROKEN. TRY TO MOVE THE PLATED LOCKING PIN IN THE DIRECTION THAT LOCKS THE DOOR, AND IT MIGHT DRAIN AND SPIN. IF THAT THE PROBLEM, YOU SHOULD GET A NEW SWITCH (MODEL 134101800), AND YOURE DONE.
GOOD LUCK

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

There is a problem either with the lid lock or the lid locked sensor requiring a service call, sorry ;-0(

If this has assisted and/or clarified the situation for you please consider a 4 thumbs up on our rating.
Thanks and good luck!

you would need to go into the fault codes and read them. the tech sheet should be under the lid or in the kick panel

It doesn't work at all If your washer doesn't seem to work at all, check these: No power Lid switch No power Check to see whether power is getting to the washing machine. Is it plugged in? Has a fuse blown or is a circuit breaker tripped? Lid switch If the lid switch is defective, your washer can't spin and may not function at all. The switch is inside the washing machine main housing near the door frame. Often you have to raise or open the top or front of the washer to get to the switch. If it's defective, you need to replace it. Some machines have a special lid-switch fuse near the lid switch, inside the control panel. If this fuse blows, the unit won't fill with water until you replace the fuse.
