Dryer door latch worn out Kathy M. • San Diego , CA • February 22, 2015
When I looked up the part number there was a handy video that popped up. I watched the video and thought "how easy!" so, I ordered that part and waited. The next day, I thought I better start to take the door off of my dryer (because that's what the video instructed, and I wanted a head start) so as I was going into the garage to get my tools, my son came in with a small package. It was the part. That came, to quote another customer, "Crazy Fast!" All the way from Kentucky to California! ...

Dryer door would not stay closed without being taped shut Marceen W. • La Canada , CA • June 10, 2016
I chatted with a rep on Appliance Parts Pros and found out which parts I needed for my model of dryer. Ordered the 2 clips that held the door closed. They arrived the next day!! My dryer was very different than the video but we were able to figure out which screws to remove. The old clips popped out and the new ones popped in.

Part Number: WP8066120
The lid switch lever connects the washer's lid hinge to the lid switch, signaling when the lid is closed so the cycle can run. A damaged lever can prevent the safety interlock from closing, leading to no-start or spin issues. What it does:
- Transfers lid movement at the hinge to the lid switch actuator
- A closed lid so the washer can operate
- Common symptoms of a failed lever: washer won't start; won't spin; cycle pauses because the lid-closed signal isn't detected
What's included:
Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing
- Lift or open the top to access the hinge/switch area; locate the lever near the lid switch
- Remove the old lever and install the new one in the same orientation; free movement
- Close the lid by hand and the switch clicks before reassembly and testing
