Lid Switch error

[patron]

I have an LG in my shop that gives me a lid switch error and will not agitate nor spin. It simply shuts off and an led with the lable lid switch flash and beeps.

The unique thing however is this machine does not have a lid switch. I have removed the lid, the top of the machine etc. I can't find any wiring connected to the lid; nor any magnetic strips or anything that would relate to a lid switch. The only thing this lid does have is two springs attached.

Anybody run across this problem before? I also need to see a manual for this machine.

Thank

this sounds like another wax motor problem. The wax motor locks the lid. when it fails it bleeds pure 120 volts into the board and damages the r11 resister. check out this link:

there is a lid switch on the top load LGs, its a magnetic reed switch in the control panel, the magnet is in the lid, its almost dead center  a strong pocket magnet pick up tool is plenty strong enough to active the switch

Correction on model #

WF-T1341TP

Also re-checked the lid; I can't see anything switch, magnetic or anything that leads me to believe it has a switch. The lid is almost see through; nothing is there.

that still doesn't look like an LG model number...

I found a similar model breakdown, and the reed switch assembly is shown at the rear of the cabinet (ref to A170). See the parts blowup here.

Your right on that switch. Most machines I've seen have that particular switch; but for some reason this one doesn't and it doesn't have wiring going to a switch as if it had been removed previously.

The model # is right this time. This is an LG built in Mexico. Unfortunately, I've found little or no help through LG in Mexico.

If the error display "dE" , pls check safety switch below top .

It doesn't show any other errors in the display. Below the display it shows four or so possible errors. For example fill error, spin error, lid error; the other I don't remember.

I get a lid error. It sure would be nice to find a manual on this machine. I've had no luck with that either.
