This door strike is an authentic OEM replacement part that is compatible with various models of top-load washing machines. The door strike is located along the door frame, where it engages with the latch when the door is closed. It keeps the door securely shut so that the washer can start and prevents it from swinging open while the washer is running. It is a safety mechanism that prevents water leakage, injuries, and damage to the washer. If the door strike is damaged or worn down, it may be unable to lock the door properly and the washer may stop mid-cycle or fail to start altogether. Replace the door strike promptly to ensure the proper functioning of your washer.

Tab on door strike got broken off and washer would not operate without it.

Pushed in on door strike and rotated it counterclockwise, removed broken strike and installed new strike. NOTE: when removing the old strike (turning counterclockwise) it felt like it might break and/or was attached with an screw that I didn't see but it came right out.

This lid lock assembly is specially designed for top load washing machines. It is a genuine OEM part that is guaranteed to fit like the original. It includes the lid lock switch and the wiring harness. The assembly is responsible for keeping the washer lid securely closed for the safe operation of the washer. If the assembly is damaged or experiencing an electrical fault it will be unable to keep the door closed and the washer may not start, or it may stop running mid-cycle. Do not use your washer if the lid is unable to lock.
