Bunch of bologna. I should be able to bypass my lid on any machine. So sick of service people telling me what I can and can't fix. You are part of the problem not the process! These capitalist made machines are meant to cost us more than we need to pay. I don't have young kids and am working 3 jobs and cannot afford to "just replace " parts. Just want to wash my clothes before Monday!

Locate the switch by the lid and simply connect a wire between the two wires going to it to affect a bypass.

I have whirlpool washer model number WTW4950XW0 The lid lock switch is broke has4 wires how do I bypass it please

The lid lock is there for safety. It prevents someone from being injured by the spinning tub when they open the lid.

Instead of bypassing the switch, I recommend you replace it with part W10404050. One source is https://www.partselect.com/PS3497627-Whirlpool-W10404050-Lid-Latch-Assembly.htm . The part comes with the wires attached. See https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/30yu3k9y9x-001198/whirlpool-wtw4950xw0-washer-parts for some of the parts diagrams.

I hope this helps.

Can i bypass the lid lock on a amana washer model ntw4605ew

Can you do it? Yes.
Do I recommend it? NO.
The lid lock it to prevent injury to the people near the washer, as without it stopping the machine, the agitator will turn with the lid open.
So.
If you will open the top up, you should see the lid switch, and you should see the electric wires attached to it.
With the machine unplugged, you can disconnect the wires to the lid switch and attach them to themselves, and the lid switch will then be by-passed.

Hello I have a AMANA washer top loader model number NTW4700YQ. The washer will do the 5 second fill when you start a wash cycle and then switches over to "lid Lock" now after this it does nothing. you can...

The lid switch is one thing to check, make sure that it is not loose or broken, IT could also be the water level sensor, they become gummed up with softner sometimes.
