Customer Questions and Answers for Strike Asm, Lid, Gls, Gry by Whirlpool

The Whirlpool Lid Strike is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool top-load washing machines. Located at the top of the washer, the strike assembly securely holds the outer lid assembly in place. 

Causes of a bad strike assembly washer can include cracks or breaks from stresses and vibrations over time, worn-out fasteners loose from use, or damage from forced lid closures.

Symptoms of a bad strike assembly washer include:

• Loose, wobbly lids allowing items to fall inside during loading  
• Inability to tightly secure lids with fasteners becoming stripped
• Clunking or banging noises coming from the lid area during cycles  
• Scratches or marks on surrounding surfaces from misalignment 

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