LID LOCKED
Your washer has a security system that prevents opening the
lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock prevents anyone (espe-
cially children) from reaching into the washer while the bas-
ket is spinning. The lid lock will be released within 5 seconds
after the basket stop spinning. Trying to open the lid while
locked could result in injuries. If the lid does not unlock after
spinning, please contact service.
NOTE: If there is a power outage the lid lock can take 3 min-
utes to release.
