Lid Lock & Harness

$53.58

Fix Number: FIX17645328
Manufacturer Part Number: WH08X37937

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.
