Description

The Lock Bar is an OEM part for GE washers. It contains the locking latch mechanism that secures the washer lid tightly closed during operation. The durable lock bar construction ensures a dependable seal to contain water within the tub.  

Symptoms of a bad lock bar include:

• The lid failing to latch or unlock as expected  
• Gaps forming that allow water/air to pass under the lid
• Excessive play, wobble, or looseness of the locking mechanism
• Prying or extra force needed to open or close the lid 

Causes can be normal wear reducing smooth locking function, or issues such as a stripped screw hole compromising secure mounting.

This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models. A properly functioning lock bar enhances safety by preventing the lid from opening until the cycle completes.
