This genuine OEM lid lock and striker is designed for washing machines. The lid lock comes with the wiring harness and striker, which is a small plastic piece attached to the lid of the washing machine. When the lid is closed, the striker aligns with and engages a corresponding latch on the washing machine. The lid lock mechanism prevents the washer from starting or operating while the lid is open. This is important for safety reasons, as opening the lid during operation could lead to injuries or damage to the machine. If the lid lock mechanism is damaged or faulty, the lid will be unable to lock and the washer may not start, or it may stop running mid cycle. It is important to address any faults promptly to avoid further damage or safety hazards.

Installation Instructions
Joshua from Dallas, TX
Dryer would not start
The end repair was very simple and took minimal effort. The time and difficulty was all in the testing. I disassembled the dryer and removed the drum and then hard wired each thermo-fuse to determine where the fault was. After test all of those I was stumped. When I opened the door the light would not come on so I assumed it was a power fault closer to the source. However after all of my testing I couldn't find anything wrong. I then removed the light bulb and realized it was burned out which led me to the door switch being the fault. I removed the switch and soldered the three wire together and the dryer started right up! All I had to do was order a new $15 part, unsolder the wires and plug them in. Would have been so much simpler if that light bulb hadn't of been burned out causing me to over think my diagnosis. This was my first major appliance repair and I did it with only the help of the parts diagram provided on the website.
