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. Took about 30 minutes because of there being a top and bottom clip to remove and replace and line up the door parts to screw the screws back in. It works great!! I...

The lever to the door switch broke. Valerie M. • Rochester , NH • April 02, 2014
First, I rooked on YouTube for a video on how to fix it. The video brought me to a very helpful video with a link to your website. We have had this dryer since we bought the house 10 years ago and the thought of buying something new, that wasn't made as well was a dreaded thought. I went on the website, entered the model number of my dryer and then a search link for a parts search. Not knowing the part number, I was able to find the exact thing I needed. It was amazing and so easy! Had...

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.

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
