GE GTW465ASNWW Washer Lid Lock Bypass for Diagnosis

Here I will show how removing the locking magnet from the lid of the washer is an easy way to bypass the lid lock function to diagnose any problems a Haier-made GE washer may be experiencing. While I do not recommend operating the washer regularly with the li open, when trying to diagnose problems, it is much easier when you are able to see what is going on within the washer.

Can you please give me a video of anybody of a how do I bypass a washer lid on a GE stackable

[@MeaThreattoDemocracy]

Do you think cuting out a gap from the bottom of the strike so that it could be secured to the lid but always able to allow the lid to be opened. This way the spin would also stop just like the older machines when the lid is opened. I have no idea how the latch lock communicates with the computer control, but maybe just creating a gap wide enough to create enough of a void to clear the locking pin might be a solution to this aggravating issue.

Not getting it. Take part off drop it in the hole. Lowering the lid does that… what’s the dif?

[@marygibson8993]

What do you do if you broke the piece that locks the lid?? Can you somehow by pass the lid lock, if so can you send me a video.the model number is on the GE washer.is GTW220ACK7WW.thank you

You can take a cylindrical magnet and rest it at a diagonal angle with the left end of the magnet in the corner of the switch and the right end of the magnet on top of the switch's right side. That way it should not fall into the washer.

@@Joethaboss66 Thanks so much! Could you explain this more or show a diagram? the little piece that locks the lid broke here and I can't run a cycle. It's another week until the part gets in to fix it. I would love to do laundry in the meantime. THANK YOU!

Emma (manua.ls) © 24-10-2023 Yes, you are able to deactivate the lid lock on the GE GTW465ASNWW washing machine. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Press the "Power" button to turn off the washing machine. 2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. 3. Wait for at least 4 minutes for the lid lock to reset. 4. Reconnect the power cord to the electrical outlet. 5. Press the "Power" button to turn on the washing machine. 6. The lid lock should now be deactivated, and you can open the lid while the wash cycle is in progress. This answer is automatically generated

does it lock the door?

[@Joethaboss66]

Yes, it does still, but since the switch is taken out of the lid, the lid can be up with the magnet in the switch so the washer thinks the lid is down.

Thie is NOT a bypass for a bad switch.

[@ephenj]

Do you have a link that has a bypass for it?

[@blaketankersley2449]

yeah this is annoying and a waste of time. anybody can figure out to remove the catch and stick it in the hole
