Causes of a bad direct drive washer pump can include blockages from debris or foreign objects, wear and tear from regular use, damage to the pump impeller, or electrical issues affecting the pump motor. Over time, these factors can hinder the pump's performance, leading to operational issues.

Symptoms of a bad direct drive washer pump include:

• Washer not draining water properly
• Unusual noises during the drain cycle, such as grinding or humming
• Water leaks from the bottom of the washer
• Washing machine stopping mid-cycle due to drainage issues

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

The Washer Door Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This component is crucial for ensuring the washer operates safely by detecting whether the door is open or closed. The door switch prevents the washer from starting or continuing its cycle when the door is open, and it allows the machine to function only when the door is securely closed.

Symptoms of a failing Washer Door Switch include:

• The washer not starting or stopping unexpectedly during a cycle
• Error codes related to door closure issues displayed on the washer's control panel
• The washer door not locking properly or the lock mechanism not engaging
• The washer continuing to operate with the door open

Causes of a bad door switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from repeated opening and closing of the door, electrical faults such as short circuits, or physical damage from mishandling or impact.

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

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.
