How do I bypass my lid lock? GE GTW485ASJ4WS. There was no option for GE products in the device selection. Please help!
@wilkeyeverett the lid lock and switch are together in one part. It requires 120 VAC to activate the lock. The approximate resistance of the lock coil is 70 ohm from Red – Violet from J512 board connector. Checking between Red and Yellow wire at the same board connector will show the continuity of the lid switch.

placing a jump between point 3 and 1 on J513would close the switch but looking at the schematic, you’d be running in trouble with it since the control board will continue to lock the lid. I’d replace it to avoid errors originating from the control board.

after reverse engineering the washers system with my oscilloscope the %#*@ eggheads exposed their hand . They could of made it alot harder . People are being lied to by tech support. They !#^&@@ the wrong central processor engineer with all the time in the world on his hands …Using 74LS family Ive been making a device i call a Universal Digital Digital Emulator … aka black box! I designed a digital logic controller using a entirely home made EEprom RAM, ROM , MAR module with a 16 bite 4bit memory array that makes me able to save different bypass programs for other appliances. The MAR summons a 4bit opp code from the array based on the address (controlled by small dip switches . The 4bit op codes go to the EEPROM RAM control logic that is multiplexed to be my control signals to drive a complex relay module features interchangeable solid state relay system coming in and out to emulate and trick any of these worthlessly engineered safeties. next is a nano computer MCU to replace EEproms
