3 Wire Lid Lock or Control Board Issue


Recommended Posts

Posted

Frigidaire stacked washer & Dryer.

Lid lock solenoid has 105ohms across the solenoid and checks out as OKAY.

I am getting 120v at the "L" and at the "lock input" terminals at the board, with no lock plugged in. I was expecting 120v at the "L" but the lid lock should be nothing until the solenoid is energized and closes the switch to send 120v to this terminal.

 

Washing machine won't start and the lid is not locking after I press the cycle selector/start dial.

What pins are you checking? If you're checking between 2 and 1 or 2 and 3 in connector J13 the you're going to see 120 VAC because J13-2 is Line to the lock. Try unplugging the lock connector at the board and checking for continuity between 2 and 3 in the harness connector with the lid closed. The lock mechanism is a high failure part.

The 1st switch is working when I close the lid.

What isn't happening is the lid lock isn't getting a lock signal. I have use 3 different lid locks and they all do the same thing.

 

I push the cycle/start knob and it beeps once and nothing happens. Eventually it will be two times (same as the pause cycle beeps) but noting more happens.

If I don't close the lid lock and push the cycle/start knob, it beeps 3 times (assume indicating the lid is open).

 

I am not sure what else the controller is looking for before it will lock the lid and start the cycle.
