    Kenmore series 100 washer lid lock broken!?

    Model Number: Series 100
    Brand: Sears Kenmore
    Age: 1-5 years

    Hey all,

    I have a 3 year old Kenmore series 100 that recently ran into an issue. One day it was stuck on the lid lock stage of the cycle and I couldn't get it to unlock.
    I tried a couple things to unlock the lid and reset the washer. In the process, I forced open the lid and broke the lid lock mechanism. I know, not smart!

    So, now when I run thru a wash cycle, it gets past the wash cycle and then the green light just flashes.
    Is there anything I can do to bypass the lid lock function and to get the washer to finish a complete cycle?

    Can I remove the lid lock hardware or somehow bypass it or can I repair that part of the washer?

    Thanks!
    Rich

    I cannot find a wiring diagram or any tech info on this unit so cannot say if it can be bypassed.

    I can tell you that it is a Whirlpool unit and you should be able to replace it

    So it says Kenmore, but is made by Whirlpool?
    I can't afford to get a new washer and it's expensive to have a tech out so I am going to see if I can order a part. I will order the part for the door and the unit.

    Yes Ken,more does not actually make anything as far as I know.
    The first 3 digits tells you who actually made it.

    The below give those codes.
    Unfortunately there is not a cross reference of models from Kenmore to the manufacturer so you are stuck ordering the Kenmore number.
