Hi there and welcome to the website,,

At the end of our dealings, you will be invited to rate my answer based on the service you will have received here today. By continuing with your question you are agreeing to the above and also agree that you won’t give me negative feedback for supplying you with information that you might not like to hear or advice on repairs in which you might not be capable of doing yourself? If there are any problems at all, please respond and allow me to reply first before rating my answer so we may have a positive outcome regarding your inquiry.

May I have the brand and model number please? (Simpson Ezi set?)

I can tell you strait up front now, that if the lid is locked and will not unlock, the lid locking switch will be stuffed, in which case, there will be no immeadiate fix unless you have the new part to install, once you gain access to the lid lock area. This cannot be done until the lid is open, etc,,

Please respond if you wish to continue or stop with your inquiry? Without the part, it wont be up and running today, so I take it that means you wont be willing to pay correct? (Your comments above)

Thank you for responding,

Good luck with the repair,
