Leroy V Ellington , CT June 14, 2015 My old lid cracked next to the hinge making it difficult for the washer to lock down properly during operation I ordered a new lid and installed it the same day it arrived in about 10 minutes. The one drawback was the lack of instructions, but in this case, it was merely taking out four screws, pulling the old lid off the hinges and replacing with the new one.
