This lid lock striker is sourced directly from the manufacturer for use in top-load washing machines. It is a white, plastic component located on the underside of the washing machine lid. When the lid is closed, the lid lock striker engages with the lid lock assembly. This ensures that the lid remains securely closed while the washer is in operation, preventing the lid from being opened accidentally and potentially causing safety hazards. The lid lock striker is an important safety features that helps to prevent injury or damage while the washer is running. If the striker is broken or no longer functioning, the door will be unable to stay shut, and the washer may not start or may it stop running mid cycle.

Don’t do this, but we prop the washer lid open so it doesn’t get musty between use; we put a sock or something in there to prevent the striker fro closing. When a family member hops up on the washer to get to the highest shelf in the laundry closet it snaps! And the. The washer won’t function.

REALLY easy-
Just unscrewed the two screws with a Phillips, slid the old one out, the new one set in perfectly, and used the same screws to hold it in place. 2 minute task total.

This lid lock bezel, also known as a trim piece, is a genuine OEM part designed for washing machines. It is approximately 3.5 inches long. The bezel is a white, plastic frame that fits around the perimiter of the lid lock. It features an open slot where the locking mechanism engages. The bezel ensures that the lid lock remains securely in place and that the locking mechanism functions correctly. If the bezel is damaged or faulty, the lid lock mechanism will be left exposed and vulnerable to damage. You may also notice that the lid lock is loose or unstable, and the door may not lock properly.

Unit did not go into Spin/Drain cycle.

I thought it was the control board from the onset, but 'Online experts" said it was more likely the mode shifter or the lid lock. I ordered one of each, did not correct problem. Ordered the control board that was designated for this unit, it did not correct problem. Defective? Was send replacememnt, did not fix problem. Twice? Phone conversation with parts person, and after a little digging, it was NOT the correct board, correct board was not available.
Returned all parts, refunds all around. Ordered correct board from another site, installed, programed, SUCCESS! Total repair time/installation-less than 15 minutes. Getting the correct part 30 days.
