424314P Genuine Lid Lock and Harness for Fisher & Paykel Top Load Washing Machines WA8060G1 WA7060G1 WA1068G1 WL1068P1 GW712 IW812 MW513

A top loader that fills and washes but refuses to spin often has a lid lock problem. Part 424314P is the genuine Fisher & Paykel lid lock supplied with its wiring harness, listed for a broad range of F&P top loaders. These include the GW512, GW612 and GW712, the IW712 and IW812, the MW512 and MW513, plus machines such as the WA8060G1, WA1068G1 and WL1068P1. It is also listed under 420700P.

F&P top loader won't spin or shows a lid lock fault?

Before a Fisher & Paykel top loader starts a spin, the lid lock engages to keep the lid shut while the bowl turns at speed. The control checks that the lock has engaged, and if it can't confirm that, the machine stops, beeps or shows a lid lock fault rather than spinning. Typical signs of a failed lock are a washer that won't spin, repeated clicking as it tries to lock, a lid that stays locked after the cycle, or a lock that has snapped or melted. Damaged wires in the harness can cause the same faults, which is why this part includes it.

Fitting the lid lock and harness

Unplug the washer before opening up the top deck. Photograph how the old harness is routed and where each connector and clip sits, as the new harness should follow the same path away from moving parts. Swap the lock, connect the harness, clip it into place and close the top deck. Run a rinse and spin with the lid closed to check the lock engages and releases.

Questions about this part

My washer stops before spinning. Is it definitely the lid lock?

A failed lid lock is a common cause, but a damaged harness, a bent lid or a control fault can give the same symptom. If your machine shows a lid lock error or the lock is visibly broken, this part is the likely fix.
