Lid Lock Mechanism - Whirlpool MVWC400XW Technical Education

LID LOCK MECHANISM

Since this washer does not utilize a brake, a lid lock is used to
prevent access during use. During a cycle, a lid lock mechanism will lock the lid. The lid must
be closed for the machine to fill, wash, drain, or spin. The mechanism houses a switch that
senses that the lid is down, a latch solenoid and a switch to confirm that the lid is locked.
