The "LID" light message came on and the washer did not start. I replaced the lid magnet/magnet assembly and also replaced the control board. The "lid" error still comes on and does not start. What next?

What you did should have fixed it. Try using a meter to check continuity in the wiring, that could be your problem although it is not likely. Also, use a separate magnet to see if you can make the light go away.

Yep, that will fool it. It's okay to fool it

I tried the magnets. It still shows the "lid" error. I'll get a meter to check the wiring. Is there a way to reset it?

No, checking the wiring is about the only thing I can think of now

I checked the wiring with a meter and everything is ok. I had a friend check the wiring throughout and everything checked out. Running out of ideas.

Yeah, me too. You could be looking at a mode shifter problem, but not sure why that would give you that error code.
It may be time for a new washer, sorry to say. These GE's with this technology are just a nightmare sometimes.
