How to fix dL Error Code | LG Top Load Washer | Replace Lid Lock Switch | WT7800CW Washing Machine 

Can confirm that the 02 works. Just ordered the 04 and LG sent the 02 as a replacement. Installed it and it is working.

I love that this kind of stuff is available on RU-vid, this will help me fix this issue for $23 instead of a $150 service call. Thanks man. 👍🏻

Just a dad in Iowa saying thank you. Doing gods work over here!

Thanks!!! Great video. I just fixed it without taking off the lid thanks to this video! Great work. You're still helping in 2023

Thank you so much for saving this mom of seven from going more than three days without a washing machine! I ordered the 02 from Amazon, and it works like a charm. The video was so helpful, I was able to replace the locking mechanism on my own while the hubby was still in meetings. You saved my sanity and laundry room from being stuffed to the brim with dirty laundry!

Best step by step video I’ve ever seen

Nice vid! Currently losing hair over my lid that also had screws. Why on earth would they do that!?! Figured I could replace switch without removing lid, but glad to see you video that demonstated the thought I had.

Thanks you!! This saved me time and a lot of money. It cost $30 and got it from Amazon 2 days. Mine wasn’t exactly the same but real close. Awesome job!

I bought the item with the link provided and it was exactly the part needed! This video was very helpful. It was a bit different since my model is an LG WT7300CW, but I made it work!

Thank you for this video, your instructions were down to the T. I was able to replace mine with ease, much appreciated

Thanks sooooo much for this video!!! The hubby & I were able to fix our washing machine & didn't have to purchase a new one. You video was very helpful!!!! Thanks

Good Job man...Thanks for the tip...

Thank you for video. Despite the challenge working with big hands in the small space, got the replacement installed and am back in business. Mine had tiny twist ties holding cable so I had to replace with thinner guage wire to securely hold it in place. Wasn't confident it eould work, but all is good. Many thanks.

That was the most informative easy to follow along video ever!! My brother and I fixed it no problem!! You just saved me a lot of $$$$$! A+++++ video!!

Great job that’s exactly what my washer’s problem thanks

Thank you for your video ! It is so helpful! You are a legend .

Thank you so much. You are a lifesaver with a very good step by step video.

Just swapped mine out and works great, thanks for making this video showing how to do it w/o taking the whole washer apart. Took me an hour and I’m not super handy

Great video my guy! Thanks ! Helped out so much love the detail you give

Thank you for this video. We were able to fix our washer ourselves saving at least $100.00.

great video, thanks for taking the time to educate your fellow DIY:ers and helping us save a buck and tons of time

this is very helpful, you are doing a great job !

This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for posting this. Repaired my washing machine because of it for just the cost of the part! Not going to lie though - getting that damn switch to come out of its socket took a LONG time. But got there in the end and it's working a charm! I also took the top panel off to make things less fiddly but that was just my preference.

I really appreciate this video! I have the exact same washer as you have, and your video was easy to follow. Like you, I had trouble finding the 04 model, but I was able to overnight ship the 02 model from Amazon (gift card I had saved took a chunk of change off the price!). I replaced the lock switch today. I was sick when I did it, so I had to take a few breaks in the middle to lie down. Actually, I was halfway through the install when I realized I was installing the old lock. I probably wouldn't have noticed if the model numbers weren't different, so glad I went with the 02 model. Also, I got the washer used, and the previous owner actually put the lock wire under the support bar, attaching it with one of the blue clips. The way they positioned this clip, the part that you squeeze was on top instead of the bottom, and I spent a long time trying to slip my needle nose pliers into the gap to squeeze the top. I actually ended up breaking it. Luckily, the old owner also used wire to secure the wire from the switch, so I made use of that and pulled the wire through so there wasn't any extra slack. The way the old owner had it set up, it worked for me for about a little over a year, so I'm fairly optimistic. When I called the LG repair people, they quoted me $400 just to come out and look, and their soonest availability would have been a week out. Thanks to your video, I saved a bunch of money, and I've been able to do the laundry for the first time in two weeks. Thank you!

You champ, thanks so much! Saved us several hundred much needed dollars!

Excellent and very helpful video

I love this video I just found out if you look at the front top corners on the side of the washing machine, Both sides, you're gonna see a small white cap. Pop those take the screws out and you can lift the top of the washing machine..

Thanks, this helped a lot 👍🏻

Thank God for the reverse camera on my phone or I would have never gotten the screws out, or possibly dropped one in between the frame and wash tub because my lid would not open either using a putty knife. I was able to repair mine using your advice. Thanks for the video. Model WT5680H*A

Very nice and helpful video.

Awesome job thank you so much

Thank you so much!

mines plugged into mother board so I might just trash this thing great video I did everything else fine.

Thanks!

You saved me 🙏

Boy did you save yourself a lot of trouble,I’m trying to replace mine by following removing the top,and I’m a stubborn woman.

Is there a lid positioner that may be faulty as well?

Heeey , really amazing job.. i have a washing machine with a much older model ( T1809ADFH5 ) , with the same DL error code, would this lid locker that you used fit with my machine’s model? Bc I consider purchasing it .

Will the same replacement part work for model number WT7400CV?

Model # WT1101C 740

thanks for the vid! was super helpful and just what i needed since i also need to replace the switch on my machine, did you ever find out if the EBF61674804 and EBF61674802 parts are interchangeable? the -04 are harder to find and def pricier 😅

please give me some understanding about this i also want to do this

I have the same washer. Mine wont start im assuming because the lid wont lock. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated 🙏

Thinking about buying one somebody has for sale and they too said their lid isn’t locking.

I just took the white box apart and there are two leads that need to make contact at different times when the lock is sliding. My contact points were corroded. I scraped them real quick with a mini flat head and now it works. Bad thing is I lost one of the two screws 😂. Hopefully it got tangled up in the clothes already in the drum.

Hi

Do you know why that part malfunctions? this is the second time it happens to me

I Switched the lock did not fix the issue bought a second one same thing error still on NEED HELP

How much was the switch

what if the latch isn't catching

My lock is on the side, not the middle

man crazy that part failed in only a year or so....

I have to take my washer completely apart to get to the door lock. Ridiculous. I don't even want the door lock.

Having this issue again not even a year after LG fixed it for the same Lid error issue. I'll never again buy LG.

My LG washer is the biggest piece of shit...motherboard goes, rusting on the inside and now lid lock switch error. All within a year and a half

Thx bro, very, very, very helpful video 👍👍👍subscribing right now... update: mine doesn't have those blue clips and has a black tube that goes around, your doesn't have that black tube, 🤔🤔, mine uses the 02 part which is way cheaper, waiting for the part to install it...thx again 👍👍
