LG Washer Lid Damaged or Missing? Lid Assembly AFG73029705 – Restore Full Lid Function Fast
If your LG top-load washer has a cracked, broken, or missing lid, the washer will not operate safely and the lid lock cannot engage. In LG top-load washers, the lid assembly covers the tub opening and houses the lid lock strike — when the lid is damaged or broken, the lid lock cannot confirm the lid is closed and the washer will refuse to start or advance past the fill stage. ⚡ A damaged lid prevents the washer from running entirely. Part AFG73029705 is the genuine OEM LG lid assembly that restores full lid function, lid lock engagement, and safe washer operation immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Washer powers on and displays no error codes related to the control board or motor
- ✔ Lid lock assembly and hinge hardware are confirmed intact — only the lid panel itself is damaged
- ✔ Lid hinge pins and mounting points on the cabinet are undamaged
- ✔ ONLY problem is a cracked, broken, or missing lid preventing the washer from closing and starting

✔ If these symptoms match, this is the correct replacement component.
✔ In most cases, replacing this lid assembly restores full lid closure and normal washer operation immediately.

⚠️ Inspect the Lid Lock Assembly While the Lid Is Off:
With the old lid removed, take 60 seconds to inspect the lid lock assembly mounted on the cabinet — if the lock solenoid or strike is worn or damaged, it will produce lid lock error codes even with the new lid installed. Replacing both at the same time eliminates a follow-up repair and ensures the new lid seats and locks correctly on the first cycle.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: Easy to Moderate — 20 to 30 minutes. Disconnect power before beginning. Open the existing lid fully and locate the hinge pins or mounting screws at the rear of the lid — remove them to detach the old lid from the cabinet. Align the new lid assembly with the hinge mounting points, secure the hinge hardware, and confirm the lid closes flush and the lid lock strike aligns with the lock assembly. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks and the washer starts normally.

💡 Pro Tip
Check Lid Lock Strike Alignment After Install:
The most common issue after a lid replacement is a misaligned lid lock strike — if the strike tab doesn’t enter the lock assembly cleanly when the lid closes, the washer will display a lid lock error even with a brand new lid. Close the lid slowly and watch the strike engage the lock before running a full cycle. If it doesn’t align, adjust the hinge mounting position slightly before tightening the screws fully.
