• Difficulty in opening or closing the lid
• Visible rust or corrosion on the screw
• The lid not staying securely in place

• Support the component while releasing/installing the clip; needle-nose pliers or a flat tool can help
• Note clip orientation and reinstall in the same position; do not over-bend—replace if the clip has lost tension or is corroded

The lid hinge bearing is used for the lid hinges on washers and dryers. When functioning properly, it allows the lid to open and close properly. If this is a problem with the bearing, it could make the lid difficult to move. In some cases, when the lid will not close, it means that the machine will not function correctly. Damaged lid hinge bearings should be replaced as soon as possible.The lid hinge bearings see a lot of work since they are in use whenever the lid of the washer or dryer opens and closes. They could become cracked and broken over time. Replacing the bearings is a relatively simple repair that owners can make on their own.This lid hinge bearing is for use with many models of washers and dryers from Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Inglis, Maytag, Admiral, Amana, Crosley, and Magic Chef. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that has been sourced from the manufacturer. The piece is sold individually, so if owners need to replace more than one hinge, they will need to buy multiples.

This screw and washer is an OEM replacement part used for Whirlpool washers. It is used to secure the lid switch. Each screw is sold individually. The screw measures approximately 1 inch.

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.

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
