• Error codes displayed related to the lid being open 
• Inability to advance through cycle selections

The Lid Strike is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This small yet essential component ensures that the washer lid is securely latched, allowing the machine to operate safely and effectively. The lid strike interacts with the lid switch, enabling the washer to detect when the lid is closed and allowing the washing cycle to proceed.

Over time, the lid strike can become worn out or damaged due to regular use, accidental force, or misalignment. A faulty lid strike can prevent the washing machine from recognizing that the lid is closed, thereby hindering the operation of the machine.

Symptoms of a bad lid strike include:

• The washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• Error messages indicating the lid is open when it is closed
• Difficulty in latching the lid securely
• The lid strike appearing broken or misaligned

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