Is This the Right Part?
Common Symptoms
- Lid appears closed but is not detected as closed
- Washer will not begin a cycle
- Washer pauses or will not advance when lid-lock confirmation is required
- Visible cracking, chipping, breakage, or a missing section of the plastic strike
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect power before inspection or service.
- Inspect the strike on the underside of the lid for cracks, chips, breakage, looseness, or missing engagement features.
- With power disconnected, compare the strike’s position and orientation with the lid-lock opening and check for obvious misalignment.
- If the strike appears intact but the lid is still not detected, do not assume the strike is the cause; the lid-lock assembly, wiring, or related components may require separate diagnosis.
