Does the lid lock during the wash cycle? null

Yes, it does lock while it is running. If you have to raise the lid then you must press the Start/Pause button. This will pause the wash cycle and allow you to raise the lid. Once you are done, close the lid and push the Start/Pause button to resume the wash cycle.

Does lid lock light has to be on for appliance to operate

Hi Grandmablue - Starting in 2015, top-load washers feature a lid lock that engages when the washer is either load-sensing before and during fill, or when it is spinning above 50 RPM. You cannot set the washer to lock for the entire cycle or during the wash (agitation cycle). Models with Precise Fill (load sensing), GTW335ASNWW, will lock during the load sensing period and during the spin cycle. Models without Precise Fill only lock during the spin cycle. Pausing the machine will allow you to open the lid. During the spin cycle, pausing the washer does unlock the lid, but you must wait until the basket has completely coasted down to a stop before the lid unlocks, for safety reasons. Thanks for your interest in GE. Keep in touch! Sue

Yes but there's a button to unlock if you need to add additional soap.
