The Lid Latch Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It ensures that the washer lid is securely locked during operation, preventing it from being opened mid-cycle, which could cause water spills and interrupt the washing process. This component plays a vital role in the safety and functionality of the washing machine by ensuring that the lid remains closed during washing and spinning cycles.

Causes of a bad lid latch assembly can include regular wear and tear, electrical failures, or physical damage from forcefully opening or closing the lid. When the lid latch assembly is faulty, it can affect the washer's ability to start or complete a cycle properly.

Symptoms of a bad Lid Latch Assembly include:

  • The washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
  • Error codes related to lid lock issues
  • The lid not locking or unlocking properly
  • The washer pausing unexpectedly during operation

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

Sal Careaga for Model Number NTW4516FW3

I have 2 Amana washing machines. The first has a model # NTW4600YQ1 which uses a Lid Latch assembly part # AP5263307 it has a 4 wire connecter on the end. I also have another Amana washer model # NTW4516FW3. Your website shows that both models use the same lid latch (part # AP5263307). However, the ladder lid switch only has a 3 wire connecter with a smaller connecting block. I need the 3 wire lid latch assembly. Since they both have the same part #, how can I be sure that I will receive the correct one?

Hello Tim, the control board is sensing a problem and has canceled the cycle. Since this is an electronic controlled washer, you need to pull the test sheet located in a plastic bag behind the front panel near the top and run the test mode to find the code and follow the testing for it.

Kait, Based on the information provided, Check with a multi-meter to see if you have power to the mainboard connector J7 terminal 1 to 3. If you do and the board is not responding you have a bad board. If you do not have the 120vac at that point then there is an issue with the household power or the power cord.

Ken, If the door latch was faulty then it would not get that far in the cycle. There is a tech sheet located if the front left upper corner of the cabinet inside a plastic holder that you are going to need. You will have to remove the 2 screws in the rear and slide the top forward then raise it up and you can access the tech sheet. Read the tech sheet to enter service mode then retrieve the fault codes. Next to the fault codes description, it will give you the test number and page of how to test the part. The key to this tech sheet is to read it thoroughly instead of skimming and there is a good description of how to work your way through.

Ed for Model Number WHIRLPOOL WTW7300DW0

The washer comes on. The timer comes on. The lid locks. No water starts. I checked the hoses to see if they are clogged. When the washer tries to sense the clothing it won't spin when sensing. If I turn the tub with my hand it spins freely. After a couple of minutes, it turns off as if it completed the cycle. I get an E5F7 error code. I read a lot of posts about the actuator but don't see one under my machine in the open like the other machines.

Hello Ed, The F7E5 code indicates a Shifter failure. Check for clothing or another item wedged between the impeller and the basket that could bind them together. On this model, I'm sure you have noticed there is no shift actuator. The same fault codes were used by the manufacturer as the older models and they neglected to changed the tech sheets and the service manuals. The component that performs the same basic job on this design is the clutch W10754448. Check the wiring for the clutch since there have been issues with the wire that connects to the clutch breaking.
