No, a modern front-load or electronic top-load washing machine will completely refuse to work or start a cycle if the door or lid lock mechanism is broken. The appliance features a mandatory safety interlock switch connected directly to the electronic control board. If the lock switch fails to close and send a continuous electrical confirmation signal indicating that the door is tightly sealed, the control board disables the water inlet valves and motor to prevent accidental flooding or injury during high-speed rotation. You can troubleshoot lock status easily by listening for the locking click. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when replacing a faulty door lock assembly allows the control board to register a closed signal, enabling the machine to start and run cycles normally.
