This lid lock assembly is supplied by the original manufacturer for use in various models of top-load washing machines. The assembly includes the lid lock mechanism and the wiring harness. You can find it positioned on the underside of the washer lid. The lid lock assembly is designed to prevent the washer lid from opening during use. This is a safety mechanism that ensures that users do not accidentally come in contact with moving parts or are not injured by spilled water or detergent. If the lid lock assembly is faulty, the washer may be unable to start the cycle or it may stop in the middle of a cycle.

This lid hinge is a genuine OEM replacement part for your washing machine. This hinge is for the left side of your lid, although it is a good idea to replace btoh hinges at once. The hinge holds up the washing machine lid and can become rusted over time. This repair is rated easy by our customers.

Replace Cracked Whirlpool Cabrio Washing Machine Lid

This is a very simple repair. My lid was severely cracked on the back left corner where there seems to be a lot of pressure/torque required to shut the lid. There is a metal L-shaped "tab" that inserts into the lid on both sides of the back edge of the lid. The lid is attached to these metal tabs with two screws for each side. My cracked lid had resulted in the lid breaking off of the metal tab with the screws still anchored into the metal tab.

Make sure screws have been removed from the metal tabs on both sides. Do not remove metal tabs- leave them attached to the washing maching (otherwise, you will not be able to attach the lid back onto the machine). Slide the lid over the tabs. There are square-shaped spaces along the edge of the lid where the tabs slide into the lid. Re-screw the screws into the lid, attaching the lid to the tabs through pre-drilled holes on the sides of the lid. It may take a little time to make sure the screws are properly inserted into the lid and tab screw holes. Tighten up and you're finished.
