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.

A replacement mounting screw to secure appliance panels and components so parts stay properly fastened during normal use. Small but essential hardware for stable, rattle-free operation and reliable repairs. What it does:

• Prevents loose panels, vibration noise, or parts shifting during operation
• Used when original screw is lost, damaged, or stripped
• Restores proper fit and alignment after disassembly for service

• 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.

If the switch senses the lid is open, it prevents the washer from starting or continuing a cycle, thereby protecting users from potential injury caused by the spinning agitator or drum. 

Causes of a bad Lid Switch Kit can range from physical damage, such as breaking or cracking due to heavy use or accidental impact, to electrical issues like wiring problems or failures in the switch mechanism itself. 

Symptoms of a bad Lid Switch Kit include:

• The washing machine not starting when the lid is closed. 
• The washer halting mid-cycle when the lid is not opened.
• No agitation or spinning action in the washer 

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