Customer Questions and Answers for Lid by Whirlpool

The Lid is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part prevents water from splashing out during cycles and ensuring that the machine operates only when the lid is properly closed, thanks to integrated safety mechanisms. 

Causes for replacement can include physical damage from impact, wear and tear on hinges or latching mechanisms, or issues with the lid sensor. A faulty lid not only affects the functionality of your washing machine but can also pose safety risks, as the washer may operate in an unsafe condition or not at all.

Symptoms of a bad Lid include:

• Difficulty in closing or latching the lid properly
• Visible cracks or damage  
• A malfunctioning or damaged lid sensor, leading to the washer not recognizing when the lid is closed.

This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
