This means your lid can't lock and you may hear a constant clicking sound. I had to repair one of these for a friend and it's attributed to a poorly designed position sensor for the lid lock. The contacts were dirty and the controller was unable to determine the position of the lock.[br]

I had to remove the top of the washing machine and unscrew the locking mechanism from underneath the top cover. Once I had the locking mechanism out, I disassembled the housing and pulled the circuit board out, paying attention to the orientation of the sliding contact. I cleaned all points of contact with deoxit and added some fresh dielectric grease, reassembled everything and voila!
