Lid Lock
Your washer has a security system that prevents opening the lid during the spin cycle. The lid lock pre-
vents anyone (especially children) from reaching into the washer while the basket is spinning. The lock will
be released approximately 2 minutes after the basket stops spinning.
NOTE: If there is a power outage the lid lock can take 3 minutes to release.
