Whirlpool W10810403 Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Lid Lock Assembly

This Top Load Washer Lid Lock Assembly prevents the washer lid from opening during both the wash and spin cycles. If the lid of your appliance won't stay locked or the current lid lock is cracked or damaged, replacing this part may resolve these issues. When replacing this part, consider Whirlpool's high-quality and easy-to-install lid lock assembly. To access the part, you'll need to release the control panel. It may be easier to release the control panel clips by first releasing the top and then accessing the clips from underneath. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the washer, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off both the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also 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.
