Customer Questions and Answers for Lid (Washer) by Whirlpool

This replacement washer lid covers the tub opening and engages the lid lock so your machine can run safely. It restores a secure, smooth-closing top when the original lid is cracked, warped, or loose at the hinges.

• Closes over the wash basket to help contain splashes during agitation.
• Works with the lid lock/strike so cycles can start and the unit can spin.
• Restores proper hinge alignment for consistent opening and closing.
• Common symptoms: visible cracks, broken corners/hinge mounts, lid won't close, or washer indicates "lid open."

• Unplug the washer before servicing.
• Support the lid to avoid stressing the hinges; remove hinge screws/retainers and lift off the old lid.
• Transfer reusable hardware and the strike from the old lid if applicable.
• Set the new lid on the hinges, tighten screws snugly, and engage the lid lock properly.
