Maytag Washer Lid lock light

Maytag washing machine model MVWC300XW I've only had it a month. When you press start button green sensor light goes on as well as red lid lock light. Now in the past 5 days, when you press start, green sensor light goes on, but red lid lock comes on too, but about 10 seconds in, the red light starts to blink, the washer unlocks, then the red light goes on again, and re-locks, and then it continues?? I NEVER saw it do this double lock and red light blinking before, it just started doing that.

    It doesn't matter now. Apparently, there is something more serious going on, since last night, the washer leaked all over my basement. Keep in mind, I have no children, and the washer is a month old. I contacted the place I bought it from, and they are sending someone out tomorrow 6/2/12. I told them that if it needs more than one hose, I want a new washer. Thanks, anyway. :(

    No, it's a Centennial. But as I said we had to have a technician come out and check, why it leaked. And it was the hoses in the back, the washer warped, after only one month????? But he did put a tester, on the sensors, and what you said Jason Kennidy is correct. Thanks

Its normal for the machine to cycle the lock before starting its cycle. I'm assuming your machine is a bravos style.

Hi

First make sure to test the lid switch assembly, you can jump it to test it. If the lid switch and motor is also fine then the control board should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

I am having the same issue and hope someone can post a solution. I have found a work around though. Mine does it when it is on a 'Regular' wash cycle, I found that if I put it on Permanent Press it works fine.

Magtag Centennial Washer Mod MVWC450XWO When I load, close lid, press start, green sensor light does not come on but red lid lock light starts blinking & lid locks & unlocks repeatedly while

Most likely it's the shift actuator but this washer design has had many problems. I would first unplug/replug all the wiring connectors. Tilt machine back for access to connectors for motor, capacitor, shift actuator and pump. You might want to pull the pump and make sure nothing is caught in there. Also do the connectors at the control board. Check for error codes as per tech manual and reset them. Perform the calibrate function. If nothing works, replace the shift actuator. It is a very high failure item on this washer design. If you buy it from here and it doesn't solve the problem, you can return it.

Unlocking your washer so it actually works.

If the green cycle light is flashing on then off, this usually means the cycle is paused. The lid lock should unlock when in pause mode, if not you will need to press and hold the "Pause/Play" button to clear the cycle completely, if there is water in the unit, it will drain first, then unlock the lid and be on standby to start a new cycle.

Possible Control Board Failure

Hello,
This washer can be a pain to diagnose. Diagnostic document link. www.pwslaundry.com%2Ffiles%2Fdocs%2Fmaytag-whirlpool%2FTech-Sheet-W10280489-Rev-D.pdf&ei=K_JCU-yhK4Sh2AWIzYCQBA&usg=AFQjCNFDvmjAg2YHolMCS_ZHhzuw0_lb3w&sig2=OxlosNGyV7nkO4Rc48PNpw&bvm=bv.64367178,d.b2I&cad=rja



Follow the diagnostic directions. The first suspect part would be the mode shifter. Next I would suspect the main control board. All the testing info you need is in the service manual. Check/Ohm out the shifter first.

Maytag MGD 9700SQ. When I press start, the sensoring light clicks on and that's it. I've cleaned out the lint, cleaned the sensors with alcohol. Will clean the vent, but it seems like a basic fix....

Hi Jamie: After checking all of this and if it still dont work you will need to put in a new control board.

Plug cord into live electrical outlet. Check for proper voltage.
Check fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Push any key to turn ON the clothes washer and press the Rotary Cycle Selector knob to start the clothes washer.
Close door and push the Rotary Cycle Selector knob to start the clothes washer.
Check to see if the clothes washer is in a pause, soak or suds period in the cycle. Wait briefly and it may start. If washer is in suds period, SU and DS will display alternately, instead of the time remaining.
Check for restricted drain system. If there is an electrical problem in the drain system, ND error will occur after 15 minutes.
Check water supply.
Check the line screen and water valve screen.
Check for loose connections at machine control board terminal connections
Replace machine control board.

In this link, with your model could find parts replacement:

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

It doesn't think the lid is actually closed indicating that 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!
