Whirlpool Washer Washer Parts and Accessories W11513250, Replaces 4444444444444444
A broken or missing lid lock strike is one of the most common reasons a Whirlpool top-load washer won’t start, stops mid-cycle, or throws a lid lock error code. In Whirlpool, Maytag, and Amana top-load washers, the lid lock strike is the plastic tab mounted to the lid that inserts into the lid lock assembly on the cabinet — when the lid closes, the strike engages the lock solenoid and signals the control board that the lid is secure. When the strike breaks, cracks, or snaps off entirely, the lock solenoid has nothing to engage, the control board never receives the lid-closed signal, and the washer refuses to run. ⚡ High-wear plastic component on Whirlpool top-load washers — breaks from repeated lid slamming or normal fatigue over time. Part W11513250 is the genuine OEM replacement lid lock strike that restores full lid lock engagement immediately — direct fit, no tools required.

The W11513250 lid lock strike is a plastic component designed for normal lid closure — it is not rated for repeated slamming. The most common cause of strike failure is the lid being dropped rather than lowered. After installing the new strike, make a habit of lowering the lid gently until it clicks — this single change can extend the life of the strike from months to years.
