The Washer Lid Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This 6-32 x .340 screw secures the washer lid to the hinge assembly, ensuring the lid opens and closes smoothly and stays securely in place during operation.
Causes of a bad washer lid screw can include wear and tear from frequent use, corrosion due to exposure to moisture, or damage from over-tightening or mishandling. A compromised screw can lead to issues with the lid's stability and functionality.
Symptoms of a bad washer lid screw include:
- The washer lid feeling loose or wobbling
- Difficulty in opening or closing the lid
- Visible rust or corrosion on the screw
- The lid not staying securely in place
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
