Our washer lid lock switch burned out. I replaced the burned out lid lock switch (WH01X27954) with a newer version that is supposed to be compatible (WH08X31577). Now the lid lock light on the washer control display comes on when I manually push the lid lock switch in. But the washer will not lock or unlock the lid itself while it is running through cycles. I can manually run a speed cycle by locking the lid lock switch when the washer starts the wash cycle. So we can still get laundry done, but we would really like this fixed.
Did I get the wrong switch? Or is something else wrong? I know that there are some error codes but I'm not at home right now. I can post those later if that is helpful.
It also seems that the water level isn't filling up as high as normal the last few days. And the washer has randomly turned itself on a couple of times over the last few weeks.
I had an appliance repair person tell me that the coupler is faulty and causing the control board not to lock the lid lock switch. That didn't seem like a logical explanation to me. The washer spins and agitates just fine.
Thanks in advance for any help.
