Whirlpool WP212716 Lid Bumper (Washer) OEM Part

Removed lid sanded down all rust spots, taped over the printed instructions on the inside of the lid, washed with alcohol and spray painted with appliance white epoxy paint. Replaced the plastic hinge-balls and one of the lid support/bumper grommet. It was actually easier to install the lid than removing it; used a small amount of grease to hold both balls in place, by holding the lid vertical and placing the left side to the inserted ball and then pushing the right side down. The lid slides in easy due to the round corner of the lid.

Called a Maytag repair man, said "the bumpers are no longer available". These little things are actually critical to operation, because the lid safety switch needs to be pressed back far enough to sense that the lid is closed, and without the bumpers, this is a little iffy. I looked up the parts on the internet, came across AppliancePartsPros.com and guess what, the parts were available !! Ordered, delivered on time, installed, and I'm up and running. Now I don't have to hear my wife complaining about the machine any more, what a relief. I have bookmarked this site, I will use them again, and again, and I highly recommend them to anyone who can handle their own repairs.

Good
