No, a modern washing machine equipped with an electronic lid lock will completely refuse to work or start if the lock mechanism is broken. Manufacturers incorporate this automated locking system into top-load and front-load high-efficiency washers as a mandatory safety feature to comply with federal regulations and prevent users from opening the lid during active high-speed spin cycles. If the control board does not receive a closed signal from the lock switch, all cycle functions remain disabled. You can troubleshoot lid switches easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a faulty lid lock assembly restores electrical continuity, allowing the machine to lock the lid and run cycles normally.
