Mark P Cherry Hill , NJ December 14, 2015 Whirlpool cabrio washer lid cracked due to poor engineering and the use of plastic that cannot hold up to the spring pressure on the hinge second time it has happened since we got washer Ordered a new lid and replaced it myself. Very simple to do and took less than 15 minutes. Just needed to remove four screws with a hex screwdriver and pull old lid off and then replace with new lid. 9 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
