Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10349235

This part is a Whirlpool washer lid exclusively available for individual order. The washer lid closes and locks, covering the washing compartment of the appliance. The top prevents any water from being tossed out of the machine during the cycle. This particular component is made from glass. Glass washer lids are more fragile than conventional models and can be more prone to accidental shattering. When these lids break or become warped or bent, it may be time for a replacement. Water can be spilled from the machine, and any irregularities in the shape can cause the washer to prevent the lock from engaging. Installation of these washer lids can be done quickly at home with a screwdriver. Locate the inside hinges and the bushings. Remove the bushings and slide the lid hinge out. This whole process takes four screws. Insert the lid hinges into the lid, then slide the bushings back onto the lid hinges. When possible, have one person hold the lid up while someone else screws the bushings and hinges back down.This is a genuine OEM part and is sourced directly from the manufacturer. This product is only compatible for installation with Whirlpool washers.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Washer Lid (Part Number: OEM18060297)

1 Answer

Calvin, Unfortunately, the manufacturer has discontinued the WPW10183521 / W10071520 / W10183520 Lid, Glass Assembly Black. The manufacturer no longer sells the part. We can no longer get it from any of our suppliers. There is no substitute for the part available to us and we don't know of any other source for the part. You may want to try contacting local parts dealers, one of them might still have it in stock. Enter your part number in a search engine, a smaller company might have it. Try eBay, Amazon or similar sites. Search by using the manufacturer's part number. Try a used appliance store, sometimes they have the same model or usable part for your machine or access to someone who does have the part or access to a repair facility that can repair or refurbish your part. Thanks,

Jaycee for Model Number wtw7800xlo

I have the same problem many people have on their Cabrio washing machine with the lid. i have replaced the lid 3 times And it has broken again, I've even epoxied a couple of them when they first cracked to get a little more life out of them. the first one only cost $121, Whirpool claims they have had no issues with the lids. So with that said, if you cannot say (for legal or other reasons) the all metal lid will fit, if i order one & it doesn't fit, can i return it with no charge?

Jaycee, Unfortunately there is not a metal lid that would fit that we are aware of and here is a link to our return policy. https://www.appliancepartspros.com/customerservice/returns.aspx

Hello Linda, I'm sorry but we will need to ask you to post a new question including the model number from your units' I.D. tag so we can see what you are referring to. If they are the screens, they should be there to protect the water valve from mineral deposits and sedimentation from the water supply. If something other than this, we would need more information to advise. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Mark for Model Number WTW7800XL0

I received the replacement lid I ordered on Wednesday. I've read though that it's common for the lids to break. One person recommended removing the spring from the hinge. Of course, that would mean the lid will not stand up by itself. That prompts two questions: 1) Is that a viable solution to avoid having the lid break again in the future? 2) Do you have a video that shows how to remove the hinge spring, or can you explain the steps to do that? Thanks.

1 Answer

Mark, We would not recommend you remove the tension spring from the hinge assembly. You'll most likely have more issues with the lid not staying up, or dropping and slamming down. There are no instructions for removing the spring, but it's not that difficult.Unplug washer or disconnect power. To remove the lid: Raise the lid and remove the two hinge pin screws from both sides and slide the lid off the hinge pins.Pull the hinge pin out of the hinge you are removing. Remove the top hex-head screw from the hinge you are removing. Raise the cabinet top. Remove the hex-head screw from the hinge mounting bracket, and remove the hinge from the cabinet top. Make sure the spring is in the "relaxed" position, use a pair of needle nosed pliers and remove the spring from the hinge assembly. Reverse the procedure and see what happens.

Hello Steve. You are correct and most of the time the hinges and lid need to be replaced.
