W11457841 Whirlpool Washing Machine Door Strike

Washing Machine Door Strike

The Whirlpool brand encompasses a variety of household names including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Whirlpool Lid Strike serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part specifically designed for use in Whirlpool top-load washing machines. It is situated at the top of the washing machine and functions to securely hold the outer lid in place.

Over time, the strike assembly may develop issues due to normal wear and tear, such as cracks or breaks from ongoing stress and vibrations, loosening of fasteners due to frequent use, or damage from forcefully closing the lid.

Common signs that there may be a problem with the strike assembly include:

- Lids that are loose or wobbly, which may cause items to fall inside during loading.
- Difficulty in securing the lid tightly, with fasteners that may become stripped.
- Noticeable clunking or banging sounds from the lid area during operation.
- Scratches or marks on adjacent surfaces due to lid misalignment.

This particular OEM part from Whirlpool is also suitable for use with various top-load washer models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
