ABSTRACT:
An appliance lid lock includes a sensing circuit which senses the position of the lid lock relative to the appliance lid. When the appliance lid is in its closed position and the lid lock retentively engages the appliance lid, a controller causes activation of the appliance driver. When the appliance lid is not in its closed position and the lid lock moves beyond its locked position to a third position, a sensing circuit causes the controller to maintain all the appliance drivers in a deactivated state and to return the lid lock to its original unlocked position.
