What it means

- After the obstruction is removed, allow the lid to unlock and check that the washer returns to normal operation.
Can I keep using it?Resume use after the lid unlocks normally and the obstruction has been removed.
Repair usually required?Use Whirlpool service if the lid still will not unlock after the top of the washer is clear.
