Hi Thomas, for the record I am not a fan of these washers, however there are members here that really like these washers and have them as their daily drivers.
The lid locking and unlocking at the start of a cycle is to wake up children in the machine and give them a chance to open the lid and hopefully escape, almost all well designed TL&FL washers do this.

Hi Rex, but you didn't tell us if you liked the washer, LOL
Overall I agree with your assessment I have used these in the shop and to put it mildly they take all the fun out of doing laundry.
WP has ironed out some of the faults in later models and we even have members on the site who like these washers but I can see no reason for any appliance enthusiasts to subject themselves to these awful machines, going through this type of grief makes the nearly $2000 price of a new SQ FL washer look like a bargain.

Not too surprised with this, I also know people who have these washers but find that they are largely indifferent to most appliances anyway and could care less about the cycle sequence. If the load is wet and stuck to the sides of the drum when they open the lid/door, the task has been completed and little more thought is required.
John, is there a top-load washer on the market that you recommend other than the SQ if a customer insists they won't have a front-load? |

I think we all would like a video of an entire cycle for those nights when sleep just will not come. |

I used a Whirlpool VMW when I was taking a vacation to the east coast at my grandma’s house in Delaware. It did okay but it either fills with the amount of water it’s supposed to or fills the tub up to the brim, and I selected a extra rinse just to be sure my clothes were rinsed throughly. Even if Maytags back in the 60’s weren’t the best at rinsing, my laundry felt much cleaner after I got back home from my trip and ran it through my 1973 Maytag A606 back in 2019.
