It is "impossible" because we don't have a model number.

Lid lock could be wiring or board as well as the lock itself.

There probably is at least 1 button on the panel and it could be stuck or was held for too long.

Clear the codes and see what codes.

Where is the hum coming from? The pump?

Once you clear the errors what is the machine doing or not doing in manual test mode?

F2E1 - Holding down the start button for a long time while waiting for it to unlock...

F5E1 - Pressing start button while lid is open...

I am having the exact same problems as listed in this thread. I have replaced the lid switch, the pump and the acuator and it still sits and hums and will not do anything when i try to wash. I can run diagnostic and it runs fills up and drains water and agitates but will not run for regular cycle. I do not know how to clear the codes. It will not run a calibration.

Well since you changed just about everything else... that leaves the board. 

Sometimes calling a tech is worth it, lol.
