- Washer
The Lid message on a Maytag top load washer reports an open lid.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so Lid may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
Lid
Lid reports that the washer lid is open.
Quick fix
- Shut the lid and the display clears.
- Left open longer than 10 minutes, the cycle resets and the tub drains.
- Once drained, begin the cycle again without extra detergent: the laundry is already soaked with water and detergent.
Other lid codes
Compare LdL (not locking) with LdU (will not unlock).
