The lid lock switch is an automatic safety mechanism. When a wash cycle begins, particularly during agitation and spin phases, the washer's control board sends a signal to the lid lock switch.

The lid will remain locked until the cycle is complete and the water has drained, or until the washer pauses at a safe point in the cycle. Attempting to open the lid while it is locked may result in an error code or prevent the washer from operating.
