Description

This lid lock striker replaces the striker that the lid lock/latch grabs to secure the washer lid during cycles, restoring reliable lid engagement so the machine can start and run safely. What it does:

• Provides the mating surface for the lid lock assembly to hold the lid closed during wash and spin cycles.
• Helps prevent the washer from starting or spinning when the lid is not properly secured.
• Commonly associated with symptoms such as lid not latching, lid lock error messages, cycles that won't start, or cycles stopping mid-cycle.
• Realigns the lid/latch interface when worn or damaged to restore proper locking action.

What's included: One lid lock striker Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the washer (unplug or turn off the circuit breaker) before attempting any service.
• Access may require removing the cabinet top or an access panel per the manufacturer's instructions; keep track of fasteners and watch for sharp edges.
• Verify proper alignment of the striker with the lid latch before reassembling panels; test lid lock function after restoring power.
