Whirlpool W10404050 Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Lid Latch Assembly

This Top Load Washer Lid Latch Assembly signals your washer that the lid is closed, allowing it to enter its spin cycle and securely lock the lid. The complete kit includes an instruction manual, two bezels of different colors to match your washer, and the lid latch assembly. This assembly is made of high-quality materials. If your washer isn't starting as expected, replacing this part may resolve the issue. The replacement process requires basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, standard pliers, and a 1/4" nut driver. It also involves some disassembly of the washer and requires novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality replacement part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
