I claim zero responsibility for YOU bypassing YOUR safety features on YOUR WASHING MACHINE.
I just watched your last video and when the rubber grommet didn't work for me, I came looking for this video. Thanks again!
You're welcome! I figured the rubber grommet wouldn't work for everyone so I posted an alternate method which is the one I use also. Happy washing!! 😊
Much appreciate you posting these vids. I think I kind of like the rubber grommet just seems like that would be easier to take out if/when needed.
A $1500 machine ladies and gentleman
Thanks for this Eric. Do I still need to stuff something in the lid sensor on the back?
Yes, you need to do the front and back or it will not work.
@@ejdavis72 thanks just did this. What a nice fix
@@haxguy0 You're welcome. I know how frustrating it is not being able to lift your washing machine lid while it's on. Just ridiculous, they should make it so you can change a setting and bypass it if you want.
I got stuck with lid lock on new purchase. I had no clue they did that. And I have no kids or animals in house. Frustrating!
Is there a bit that could just take of the lock piece from the lid?
Yes, I have a full bypass video for this washer, just look in my videos.
How hard is it to just replace the lid lock switch? We have had our TR7 for 6 years with no problems and a ton of washing (4-5 times a week) big loads. Just recently started getting the err code L1. The lid lock just keeps clicking until it throws out the code. I cleaned out the area where the switch is, drained the water and it’s worked fine. Didn’t have to bypass. It’s only happened a couple of times so far but I figure if the switch is going bad I would just replace it.
There is a couple screws at the bottom of the washing machine you take out to pull the front panel. The switch is under there if you want to replace it. I would just put a rubber washer or the bent wire hangar trick in the switch to keep it pressed. You would have to remove the lock on the lid though. I have other videos on how to bypass this. Also, this machine should have a 7 year warranty so it should still be under warranty. Speed Queen told me to just call a local repair man if I ever have trouble and then the repair man deals with Speed Queen warranty.
@@ejdavis72 Thank you Eric, I was able to get the lid switch to keep it pressed, but the back of the washing machine is not open like yours to do anything with the pressure switch. Tried it anyway and still got the clicking and the error code L1. Our model no is AWNE9RSN115TW01 the product code is TR7000WN
I'll try calling the local store I bought it from on the warranty. They can direct me to the best local guy for it. When we bought it the salesman said they use these in the schools and they can hold up under heavy washing conditions especially since it is the commercial model. Do you know a good site to download the service manual for these?
@@brianharrod30 I found a parts manual for it. docs.alliancelaundry.com/tech_pdf/PartsService/204240.pdf
@@brianharrod30 This should be the kit you need. partsdr.com/part/205222-lid-lock-kit
I'm confused why people are purchasing this washer over the TC5 model?
Because it works awesome and looks awesome.
@@ejdavis72 I agree that this model looks good, but it does not properly wash clothes, such as the TC5 model. The TC5 model offers classic wash action.
@@MatthewJames-st5wv Have you actually used it? I have washed many loads and everything has turned out great. I had the AWN 432 and this gets clothes just as clean.
@@ejdavis72 I have, actually. My experience was different than yours. The TC5 model not only works better but is less than expensive. That's why I'm confused you went with this
@@ejdavis72 I actually used the Heavy Duty cycle on it with heavy soil. I found the TC5 to a much better job. I want to actually do a comparison video on my channel.
Why not just grind the hook off of the lock and leave it on there?
You can do that too. I just figured people would want to save it just in case they decided to sell their machine later on.
I actually cut mine off and it is working fine. But of course I would have to buy a replacement if I ever want to put I back. I figured I would lose the part anyway...lol
@@srankin8022 can you explain what part you cut off in more detail please
@@J96342 I cut the hook off of the lid lock so I can raise the lid anytime during the cycle but in hindsight just removing the lid latch and using the little L shaped wire in the video might be the best option. Cutting the hook off works as long as the lid is closed when the wash cycle starts otherwise it gives an error code.
