Description

This lid latch secures the appliance lid and, on interlock-equipped models, signals that the lid is closed so the cycle can run safely. It restores proper closure and dependable operation when the original latch is worn or broken. What it does

• Latches the lid closed to prevent unintended opening during operation
• Engages the lid switch/lock circuit where used, allowing the cycle to start or continue
• Helps maintain alignment between the lid and strike/keeper for reliable closure
• Common symptoms include: lid won't stay closed, unit won't start or advance, intermittent stopping when the lid is bumped

What's included

• 1 lid latch

Install notes

• Disconnect power before servicing; turn off water supply if applicable
• Access the latch, remove retaining screws/clips, and note orientation for reassembly
• Install the new latch and align it with the lid strike/keeper; reuse original hardware if required
• Close the lid and run a short test to ensure proper engagement and operation
