Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Lid by Whirlpool

This part is a Whirlpool washer lid exclusively available for individual order. The washer lid closes and locks, covering the washing compartment of the appliance. The top prevents any water from being tossed out of the machine during the cycle. This particular component is made from glass. Glass washer lids are more fragile than conventional models and can be more prone to accidental shattering. When these lids break or become warped or bent, it may be time for a replacement. Water can be spilled from the machine, and any irregularities in the shape can cause the washer to prevent the lock from engaging. Installation of these washer lids can be done quickly at home with a screwdriver. Locate the inside hinges and the bushings. Remove the bushings and slide the lid hinge out. This whole process takes four screws. Insert the lid hinges into the lid, then slide the bushings back onto the lid hinges. When possible, have one person hold the lid up while someone else screws the bushings and hinges back down.This is a genuine OEM part and is sourced directly from the manufacturer. This product is only compatible for installation with Whirlpool washers.
