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.
