Lid lock light blinking and will not do anything else

Whirlpool top load wtw4816fw2 washer. Lid lock kept clicking right before rinse spin cycle. Online videos say it's the lock mechanism and showed a bypass to trick it to thinking it's always locked did that and it's no longer locked. Now the lid lock just flashes and it will not do anything. Any help would be nice.

Hi @kimberleanne ,

Reverse the lid lock by-pass procedure that you did so that the washer is returned to normal and then see p.18, Test #8 of the washer’s tech sheet for how to test the lid lock and lid lock circuit to see where and what the problem is.

@charlesaxsom

if you used a video that showed how too bypass the lid lock, use the same video and do what it shows in reverse to restore the wiring connections to what they were originally.

What is the model number of your washer?
