XPARTCO DC97-16350U Washer Suspension Rod Kit (Set of 4)
The XPARTCO DC97-16350U is an aftermarket replacement washer suspension rod kit (set of 4) compatible with a wide range of Samsung top-load washers in the WA40, WA41, WA42, WA44, WA45, WA49, and WA50 series. The suspension rods are spring-loaded shock-absorbing rods that connect the outer washer tub to the top corners of the cabinet frame, suspending the tub and dampening the vibrations generated during agitation and high-speed spin cycles. When one or more rods lose tension, break, or degrade, the tub swings off-center and strikes the cabinet walls — causing violent shaking, loud banging, error code dc (out of balance), UE imbalance errors, and progressive damage to the machine.
Each rod measures 26.4–26.5 inches in overall length and 1-1/4 inches in diameter, constructed from spring steel with plastic end caps. The kit includes all 4 suspension rods — always replace all four at the same time since they wear at the same rate. It directly replaces DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, DC97-16350D, DC97-16350K, DC97-05280W, 4962798, AP6884450, EAP12720841, PS12720841, and PD00065434. Wear gloves during installation — the rods are coated with grease. Installs in 20–30 minutes — no special tools required.

Important: The DC97-16350U rod is 26.4–26.5 inches long and is for Samsung WA40–WA50 series washers. Larger-capacity WA48–WA54 series models use the longer DC97-16350V rod (27.5 inches). Always measure your existing rods or verify your model number before ordering — using the wrong length rod can cause the tub to sit at the incorrect height inside the cabinet.
Key Features
Set of 4 suspension rods — complete replacement covering all four tub mounting points
Suspends and centers the outer tub within the cabinet — dampens agitation and spin vibration to prevent tub-to-cabinet contact
Resolves Samsung error codes dc (out of balance) and UE (unbalanced load)

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves throughout — the suspension rods are coated with grease. Remove the lid and the top panel (typically secured by screws under the lid hinge covers and at the rear corners). With the top panel removed, the four suspension rods are visible at the corners, each running from a mounting point on the tub rim up to a hook or bracket at the top corners of the cabinet frame. Note the orientation and attachment method of each rod before removing. Unhook the top of each rod from the cabinet bracket and lift the bottom cup off the tub mounting pin. Install each new DC97-16350U rod by seating the bottom cup onto the tub mounting pin and hooking the top over the cabinet bracket. Replace all four rods before reassembling. Reinstall the top panel and lid, restore power and water, and run a spin cycle to verify smooth, quiet, centered operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver; no special tools required for the rods themselves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DC97-16350U and DC97-16350V?
Both are Samsung top-load washer suspension rods, but they are different lengths for different washer capacity generations. The DC97-16350U is approximately 26.4–26.5 inches long and is used on mid-capacity Samsung WA40 through WA50 series washers. The DC97-16350V is approximately 27.5 inches long and is used on larger-capacity WA48 through WA54 series washers. Using the wrong length rod causes the tub to sit at the wrong height inside the cabinet, which can cause new imbalance issues. Always measure your existing rods or verify your model number before ordering.
Why must I replace all 4 rods instead of just the broken one?
All four suspension rods experience the same amount of wear over the same number of wash cycles. When one rod fails, the remaining three have experienced the same stress and fatigue and are likely to fail soon after. Replacing only the broken rod leaves three worn rods supporting the tub unevenly — this can cause continued vibration, accelerate wear on the new rod, and require a second repair shortly after. Replacing all four at the same time ensures even tub support, fully resolves the imbalance, and prevents a repeat repair.
Do DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, and DC97-16350E all cross to the DC97-16350U?
Yes — DC97-16350S, DC97-16350T, DC97-16350E, DC97-16350C, and DC97-16350D are all cross-reference part numbers for the same Samsung suspension rod assembly used across different production runs of the same washer series. Samsung updates part number suffixes during production revisions. All of these numbers have the same 26.4–26.5" length and are interchangeable with the DC97-16350U.
What do error codes dc and UE mean on Samsung washers?
Error code dc on Samsung top-load washers indicates the machine has detected an out-of-balance condition and stopped spinning to prevent damage. Error code UE indicates an unbalanced load that the washer cannot self-correct by redistributing. Both codes can be caused by an overloaded or unevenly distributed laundry load — but if the errors occur consistently even with normal, balanced loads, worn or broken suspension rods are the most common mechanical cause. Replacing the rod kit resolves these errors in most cases.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement kit built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from spring steel with plastic end caps to match the length and spring tension of the original DC97-16350U suspension rods.

W11700916 Washer Genuine OEM Door Latch
The W11700916 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM lid lock assembly for Whirlpool top-load washers, and also fits select Maytag and Kenmore models. This assembly ensures the washer's lid remains securely locked during the wash and spin cycle, preventing access to the moving parts inside while the drum is in motion and confirming to the control board that the lid is safely closed before the cycle can proceed.
This part is a superseding design, replacing the earlier W11394572 lid latch. Over time, the internal locking mechanism can wear out or fail electrically. A failing lid lock typically shows up as the lid not locking properly during a cycle, or the washer failing to start at all, since the control board won't proceed without confirmation the lid is securely closed. It directly replaces W11543566, W11394572, W11032875, AP7219279, and PS17217010.
Quick Answer
The W11700916 Washer Genuine OEM Door Latch fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore top-load washers where the lid isn't locking properly, or the washer won't start at all. Replaces W11543566, W11394572, W11032875, AP7219279, PS17217010. This is a newer superseding lid lock design — if your washer's original latch is one of the numbers it replaces, this is the correct current part to order.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Lid isn't locking properly during the wash or spin cycle
Washer won't start at all
Lid pops open or unlocks unexpectedly mid-cycle
Cycle stalls at the start and won't proceed to wash or spin
Washer pumps or agitates but won't spin because the lid isn't sensed as locked

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Open the washer lid and locate the lid lock assembly mounted on its underside, typically secured with a couple of screws. Photograph the wiring harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws, disconnect the wiring harness connector from the old assembly, and pull it free. Install the new W11700916 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks securely, the washer starts and completes a full cycle, and the lid unlocks normally once finished. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer's lid isn't locking properly. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the classic symptom this assembly addresses. Since the control board won't proceed into the wash or spin cycle without confirmation the lid is closed and locked, a worn or failing lock assembly can prevent the washer from starting or cause it to stop mid-cycle if the lock fails while running.
My old part number is W11394572. Is this the same thing?
This W11700916 is the current superseding part for W11394572 — Whirlpool has updated the part number, and this is the correct part to order now even if your washer's original latch was labeled with the older number.
Is this the same latch as other Whirlpool washer lid locks you sell?
Not necessarily — Whirlpool has used several different lid lock designs across its top-load washer lineup over the years, including other designs found elsewhere in our catalog. Always match your exact original part number, or your full washer model number, rather than assuming any "Whirlpool lid lock" will fit your machine.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original locking mechanism and wiring harness configuration of the lid lock assembly designed for your washer.

XPARTCO WH16X29509 Washer Damper Vent
The XPARTCO WH16X29509 is an aftermarket replacement washer damper vent compatible with select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore front-load washers in the GFW510, GFW550, and GFW650 series. The damper vent is a one-way flap valve located on the drain system that automatically opens during draining to equalize pressure inside the drain pipe, allowing water to drain quickly and completely. When closed, it seals the drain path to prevent backflow of residual dirty water and lint from re-entering the drum and soiling clean laundry.
Made from high-strength plastic with a reinforced hinge mechanism, this damper vent is designed to resist deformation under high-frequency operation and to prevent lint accumulation that can cause blockages. It directly replaces OEM part numbers WH16X29509, 4982970, AP6990392, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Snap-in installation requires no special tools and takes just minutes to complete.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Unplug the washer from the power outlet before beginning any repair. The damper vent is located in the drain system — typically accessible from the front lower panel or by removing the washer's access panel. Locate the existing damper vent on the drain hose or drain port. Press the tabs or release clips to remove the old damper vent from its snap-in mounting position. Align the new WH16X29509 damper vent with the mounting port and press firmly until it snaps into place. Restore power and run a short drain or rinse cycle to verify the washer drains correctly and no error codes are displayed. Tools needed: None for the damper vent itself; a screwdriver may be needed to remove the access panel on some models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the washer damper vent do?
The damper vent is a one-way valve on the washer's drain system. During the drain cycle, it opens automatically to equalize the air pressure inside the drain hose, which allows water to drain quickly and completely. When draining stops, the flap closes to create a seal that prevents residual wastewater and lint from flowing back up the drain hose and into the drum — which would re-soil clothes that have already been washed.
What error codes does a failed damper vent cause on GE washers?
A blocked, stuck, or failed WH16X29509 damper vent is a known cause of error codes 38, 39, 40, and 84 on compatible GE GFW510, GFW550, and GFW650 series front-load washers. These codes are typically triggered when the control board detects a drain pressure or flow issue. Replacing the damper vent resolves the issue in many cases when the drain pump and hose are otherwise clear.
How do I know if my damper vent has failed?
Common signs of a failed damper vent include slow or incomplete draining, one of the error codes listed above, dirty water or lint reappearing on clothes after a wash cycle, or a stuck flap that is visibly open or closed when it should not be. You can inspect the damper vent by removing the access panel and checking whether the flap moves freely — it should open easily when you apply gentle pressure and spring closed when released.
Is the WH16X29509 compatible with GE Profile and GE Café washers?
The WH16X29509 is confirmed compatible with select GFW and PFW series models from GE and GE Profile. GE Café washers use different model series — verify your specific model number before ordering. Contact our support team if you need help confirming compatibility for your Café or Profile model.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from high-strength plastic to match the dimensions and performance of the original WH16X29509 damper vent.

XPARTCO MFG63099101 Washer Door Strike (Door Lock Hook)
The XPARTCO MFG63099101 is an aftermarket replacement washer door strike — also called a door lock hook or door latch hook — compatible with a wide range of LG front-load washers and Kenmore 796-series washing machines. The door strike is the metal hook component mounted on the inside edge of the washer door. When the door closes, the hook enters the door lock switch on the front panel and engages the electromagnetic lock mechanism, signaling the control board that the door is closed and locking it for safe operation during wash and spin cycles. Without an intact door strike, the lock can't grip anything, and the washer will not start.
When the strike breaks — typically from repeated use, sudden impact, or stress over thousands of door cycles — the washer will not start, may stop mid-cycle, may display DE1 or DE2 error codes, leak water around the door, or fail to lock altogether. It directly replaces MFG63099101, AGF77417823, AP5787149, 2759645, PS8752721, EAP8752721, and PD00046132. Important: replacing the strike requires removing the inside door panel to access the hook — note that the inner glass insert is loose during disassembly and must be handled carefully. Often replaced alongside the matching door lock switch (EBF61315802, sold separately). Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO MFG63099101 Washer Door Strike fixes LG and Kenmore 796-series front-load washers where the door won't lock, won't start, stops mid-cycle, displays DE1 or DE2 errors, or leaks at the door. Metal hook attaches to the inside of the washer door — engages the lock switch when the door closes. Replaces MFG63099101, AGF77417823, AP5787149, 2759645, PS8752721, EAP8752721, PD00046132. Often paired with the door lock switch (EBF61315802, sold separately).
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer door not latching properly — strike broken or worn down
Washer not starting because the door isn't detected as locked
Washer stopping mid-cycle due to a door fault
DE1 or DE2 error codes displayed on the control panel
Minor water drips or leaks around the door during operation — door not sealing because the strike isn't fully engaging
Door strike visibly broken, chipped, or missing on the inside edge of the door
Door not staying closed — strike worn from repeated impact
Washer not powering on

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Don't Drop the Inner Glass Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer door — if the door is stuck locked because of a broken strike, use a putty knife to pry the white latch on the door lock through the bottom service opening to release the door. With the door open, locate the screws around the perimeter of the inner door panel. Remove the screws to release the inner door panel from the outer frame. Important: the inner glass insert is loose once the panel is unscrewed — support the glass with one hand as you pry the panel away to prevent it from falling out and breaking. Note the orientation of the old door strike (the direction it points and how it's seated). Use needle-nose pliers or tweezers to pull out the retaining pin holding the old strike in place, then remove the broken strike. Install the new MFG63099101 strike in the same direction and orientation as the old one — installing it backwards will prevent the lock from engaging. Reinsert the retaining pin to secure it. Carefully reposition the glass insert into the door, reinstall the inner door panel, and tighten the screws. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the door locks properly and there are no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers or tweezers, putty knife (for stuck doors), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the door strike and the door lock switch?
These are two separate parts that work together to lock the washer door. The door strike (MFG63099101) is the metal hook attached to the inside edge of the washer door — when the door closes, the hook is what physically enters the lock assembly. The door lock switch (EBF61315802) is the assembly mounted on the front panel just inside the door opening — it contains the electromagnetic mechanism that grips and locks the strike, and the electrical sensor that tells the control board the door is closed. If the strike is broken, the lock has nothing to grip and the washer won't start. If the switch is broken, the strike can still enter the slot but the lock won't engage or send the right signal. Both can fail independently, and often wear together — many repairs call for replacing both at the same time.
My washer door is stuck closed — how do I get it open to install this?
If the door is stuck in the locked position because the existing strike has broken off inside the lock or the lock won't release, you can use a putty knife or thin flat tool to manually release the door lock through the bottom service opening of the washer. Reach in through the access panel at the lower front of the unit and locate the white plastic latch on the back of the door lock assembly — gently push or pry it to release the mechanism. The door should then open. Once open, you can proceed with the strike installation. Always disconnect power from the washer first.
The number on my old strike doesn't match — is it still compatible?
In many cases, yes. LG sometimes prints production batch codes on door strikes that look like part numbers but don't match the official OEM part number. As long as your washer's parts diagram lists MFG63099101 (or one of its cross-references: AGF77417823, AP5787149, 2759645, PS8752721, EAP8752721, PD00046132), this strike is the correct fit. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your washer model number and we'll verify before you order.
Should I replace the door lock switch (EBF61315802) at the same time?
Not always, but often. The strike and the lock switch work together as a pair — if one is worn, the other has typically experienced the same load over thousands of cycles and is approaching the end of its service life. When a broken strike is the cause of the failure, examine the lock switch when the panel is open: if the lock mechanism shows visible wear, doesn't grip the new strike firmly, or has corroded contacts, replace it at the same time. Since the door is already partially disassembled and you have the washer apart, doing both at once saves a second repair session.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from durable metal to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and lock-engagement function of the original MFG63099101 door strike used in compatible LG and Kenmore 796-series front-load washers.

XPARTCO 4970FR2084Z Washer Suspension Spring
The XPARTCO 4970FR2084Z is an aftermarket replacement suspension hinge spring for LG and Kenmore front-load washers. The suspension springs support and stabilize the outer tub during wash and spin cycles and help it stay steady through unbalanced loads. When a spring is broken, snapped, or stretched, the washer may make a loud noise during spin, vibrate heavily, or stop spinning.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original LG spring. A broken spring can let the drum drop and damage the shocks, dampers, and door seal, so inspect those parts while the washer is open.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 4970FR2084Z Suspension Spring fixes an LG or Kenmore front-load washer that is loud or shakes badly during spin, stops spinning, or has a drum that has dropped because a suspension spring is broken or stretched. Classic symptom: a loud banging or grinding noise on spin, as if something snapped inside the washer.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Loud drum noise during the spin cycle
Excessive vibration or shaking on spin
Washer stops spinning or stops mid-cycle
Drum looks lowered, or the front door seal is pushed forward
Visibly broken, snapped, or stretched spring

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before beginning, and wear work gloves. Follow your model's service guide to reach the springs, which usually means removing the top and front panels. The drum is heavy, so have a second person lift it, or use a rope loop, while you hook the new spring, which customers say is the hardest step. Check the shocks, dampers, hoses, and door seal while you are in there, since a dropped drum can damage them. Reassemble, then run a spin cycle and check the washer is steady.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer is very loud on spin. Is this the part I need?
A broken or stretched suspension spring is a common cause of loud spin noise and heavy vibration, especially if it sounded like something snapped. Check the springs, shocks, and dampers for damage.
Should I replace all the springs?
Many customers replace the springs on both sides together, since an old spring may stretch or fail soon after. Check your parts diagram for how many your model uses.
Is this an easy repair?
Retailers rate it easy to moderate, with customers reporting from under 15 minutes to 2 hours. Hooking the new spring while holding up the drum is the hardest part, so a helper makes it easier.
Will this fit my washer?
It is listed for many LG and Kenmore front-load washers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

154756401 Genuine Frigidaire Dishwasher Door Hinge Cable
The 154756401 is a Genuine OEM Frigidaire replacement dishwasher door hinge cable compatible with select Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Ikea dishwashers. The door hinge cable runs through a pulley system at the base of the dishwasher door and is responsible for balancing and controlling the weight of the door as it opens and closes. When a cable breaks or frays, the door drops down suddenly and heavily, opening with a loud bang — or may not hold itself up at all, straining the door hinges and latch with every use.
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications and directly replaces the older 154578801. It is sold as a single cable — most Frigidaire dishwashers have two door hinge cables (one on each side), and it is strongly recommended to replace both at the same time. Installs in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The 154756401 Genuine Frigidaire Dishwasher Door Hinge Cable fixes dishwashers where the door drops open too fast, bangs loudly when opened, doesn't stay open at a comfortable angle, or where a broken cable is visible at the door hinges. Sold individually — replace both cables at the same time. Compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and Ikea dishwashers. Replaces 154578801.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishwasher door drops suddenly and forcefully when opened — "slams" down instead of lowering gently
Loud banging or crashing noise when opening the dishwasher door
Door does not stay open at a horizontal position — drops all the way down
Broken, frayed, or snapped door cable visible near the door hinge or base of the door
Door hinge is being damaged or strained due to missing cable tension
Uneven door opening — one side drops faster than the other
Replaces Part Numbers
This door hinge cable directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
154756401, 154578801, AFR14437, PD00082115, AP7212793, PS17217958.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning any repair. Open the dishwasher door and remove the inner door panel by unscrewing the screws around the perimeter of the inner door. With the inner panel removed, locate the door hinge cable routing — the cable runs from a bracket near the bottom of the door, through a pulley, and connects to the door spring tension system at the base of the dishwasher. Note how the cable is routed before removing the old one. Remove the broken cable by detaching it from the anchor points at each end. Thread the new 154756401 cable through the same pulley path and re-attach it to the anchor points at both ends, ensuring proper tension. Reinstall the inner door panel. Close and open the door to verify it moves smoothly and holds itself open horizontally. Restore power and run a short cycle to confirm normal operation. Tip: Replace both cables at the same time — the second cable will likely fail soon after the first. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver (T20), needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dishwasher door hinge cable do?
The door hinge cable is a tensioned metal cable that runs through a pulley and connects to the door spring system to balance the weight of the dishwasher door as it opens and closes. Without the cable, the full weight of the door would cause it to drop suddenly and forcefully when opened, slamming down onto the floor or straining the hinges with every use. The cable provides the controlled, counterbalanced movement that allows the door to lower gently and stay open at a horizontal position for easy loading and unloading.
How many door cables does my Frigidaire dishwasher have?
Most Frigidaire dishwashers use two door hinge cables — one on the left side and one on the right side of the door. This listing is for a single cable. When one cable breaks, the other is typically close behind since both cables have endured the same amount of use. It is strongly recommended to replace both cables at the same time while the door panel is already disassembled, saving you from repeating the repair shortly after.
What is the difference between 154756401 and 154578801?
These are the same door hinge cable. 154756401 is the current updated part number that superseded the older 154578801 during a production revision. If your dishwasher's parts diagram or old cable label shows 154578801, the 154756401 is the correct current replacement to order.
Is this compatible with Electrolux and Kenmore dishwashers?
Yes — Frigidaire and Electrolux are part of the same corporate family and share many components. The 154756401 cable is compatible with select Electrolux dishwashers and with Kenmore dishwashers built on the Frigidaire/Electrolux platform. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications. It is the exact same door hinge cable installed in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, and related brand dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO W11457841 Washer Lid Latch Strike
The XPARTCO W11457841 is an aftermarket replacement washer lid latch strike compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers — including the Whirlpool WTW5100, WTW5105, WTW6120, WTW7120, WTW8120, WTW8127 series, and the Maytag MVW6200, MVW6230, MVW7230, MVW7232, MVW8230 series. The lid latch strike is the plastic component attached to the underside of the washer lid that physically engages the lid lock mechanism when the lid is closed. As the lid lowers into place, the latch strike enters the lock slot and activates the lid switch — signaling the control board that the lid is securely closed and the washer is safe to start agitation and spin.
When the lid latch strike fails — typically by breaking off, cracking, or wearing down — the lid lock can't be properly activated, and the washer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or will refuse to advance to the spin cycle. This W11457841 aftermarket replacement is built to OEM-equivalent specifications and supersedes the earlier W11091027. It also replaces 4959179, AP6987306, EAP16218028, PD00061788, and PS16218028. Installation is fast and simple — a counterclockwise twist removes the old strike, and a clockwise twist installs the new one. Installs in under 5 minutes, no special tools required.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11457841 Washer Lid Latch Strike fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers that won't start, won't lock the lid, stop mid-cycle, or won't advance to spin because the lid strike is broken or worn. Plastic latch strike that attaches to the underside of the washer lid and activates the lid lock and switch. Twist-in installation. Genuine OEM.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer lid and locate the lid latch strike on the underside of the lid — it's the small plastic peg that drops into the lock slot when the lid is closed. To remove the old latch strike: rotate it counterclockwise until the retaining tab breaks free and pulls back, then pull the old latch strike straight out. To install the new W11457841: align it with the mounting hole in the same orientation as the old one, and rotate clockwise until you hear or feel the retainer tab click into place. Close the lid and confirm the latch strike engages the lock slot properly. Restore power, start a test cycle, and confirm the lid locks and the washer begins normal operation. Tools needed: work gloves only — no tools required for the strike itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the lid strike, lid lock, and lid switch?
These three components work together as a safety system. The lid latch strike (W11457841) is the small plastic peg attached to the underside of the lid that physically enters the lock slot when the lid closes. The lid lock is the mechanism in the washer cabinet that grips the strike and physically locks the lid closed during the spin cycle. The lid switch is the electrical sensor inside the lock assembly that signals the control board when the strike is engaged. If the strike is broken or missing, none of the three can do their job — even if the lock and switch are working perfectly. Replacing just the strike often resolves "won't start" issues without needing to replace the more expensive lock assembly.
What is the difference between W11457841 and W11091027?
These are the same lid latch strike across production revisions. W11091027 was the earlier OEM part number, and W11457841 is the current part number that superseded it. Both are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows W11091027, the W11457841 is the correct current replacement, and this aftermarket part covers both numbers.
My washer won't start and the lid seems to close normally — could this be the strike?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of lid latch strike failure on compatible Whirlpool and Maytag washers. Even though the lid appears to close, if the strike has cracked or worn down it may not physically engage the lock or activate the switch correctly. Visually inspect the latch strike on the underside of the lid — if it's broken, missing, or chipped, replacement is straightforward. If the latch strike looks intact and the washer still won't start, the lid lock assembly itself or the wiring harness may need attention.
Do I really not need any tools to install this?
Correct — the W11457841 lid latch strike uses a twist-in design with no screws or hardware. To remove the old latch strike, rotate it counterclockwise until the internal retaining tab breaks free, then pull it out. To install the new one, push it into the mounting hole and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. The whole replacement typically takes under 5 minutes once you have the new part in hand. Work gloves are recommended to protect your hands while gripping the small plastic part, but no other tools are needed.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions, twist-in mounting design, and lid switch activation function of the original W11457841 lid latch strike used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers.

WD14X10009 Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Hinge Arm Link
The WD14X10009 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement dishwasher hinge arm link compatible with an exceptionally wide range of GE, GE Profile, Café, Monogram, Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, and Kenmore GE-built dishwashers — it fits over 2,100 models. The hinge arm link is the small plastic connector that joins the door spring to the door hinge arm at the bottom of the dishwasher door. This tiny part carries a big load: it's what allows the spring to counterbalance the weight of the door — especially when the door is open with a fully loaded lower rack resting on it. Without an intact link, the spring can't do its job, and the door drops open under its own weight instead of lowering in a smooth, controlled motion.
The hinge arm link is a small piece of white plastic approximately 1-1/2" long, weighing about 0.01 lbs. It fails from ordinary wear and tear — thousands of open/close cycles gradually stress the plastic until it cracks or snaps. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications, the WD14X10009 directly replaces AP2039321, 270839, AH259336, EA259336, and PS259336. Important: your dishwasher has a door spring and hinge arm link on BOTH the left and right sides. This part is sold individually — if one link has broken from age, the other is the same age and often not far behind, so many customers order two and replace both while the dishwasher is pulled out. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Important — There Are TWO Links, One Per Side: Your dishwasher door has a spring and hinge arm link on both the left and right sides. This part is sold individually. Many customers discover the second link only after reinstalling the dishwasher — and since both links are the same age and have seen the same wear, the surviving one often breaks soon after. Consider ordering two and replacing both while the dishwasher is already pulled out. Also inspect the door hinge cable at the same time; if it's frayed, kinked, or bent, replace it too.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Remove the screws holding the bottom kick plate (a nut driver works well here) and the anchor screws at the top of the dishwasher that secure it to the countertop. Carefully pull the dishwasher out 8–10 inches from the cabinet to expose the door springs and hinge arm links at the bottom on both sides. (Depending on how the dishwasher is plumbed, you may be able to do this without disconnecting the water supply, drain line, or electrical — pull only as far as the connections allow, and disconnect them only if necessary for access.) Look at the hinge assembly at the bottom of the door: you'll see a steel cable with a hooked end, a spring, and the small white plastic link that ties them together. If the link is broken, it may already be lying on the floor. Remove the old link by disconnecting it from the hinge and spring — if it's cracked but still in place, you can break the remaining pieces free. Install the new WD14X10009: place the hinge arm link into the spring, hook the spring onto the clip, and seat the link into the clip on the hinge arm. Note: on some models the crimped hook opening on the steel cable is tight — if the new link won't slide in easily, a small file can carefully open the hook opening enough to accept it. Check the other side of the door while you're in there — there's a second spring and link, and if it's aged or cracked, replace it now. Push the dishwasher back into place, reinstall the anchor screws and kick plate, restore power and water, and test the door: it should now lower smoothly under spring tension rather than falling open. Tools needed: Nut driver, Phillips screwdriver, small file (occasionally), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher door falls open instead of lowering gently — is this the part?
Almost certainly, yes. The door spring is what counterbalances the door's weight so it lowers in a controlled motion. The hinge arm link is the small plastic piece that connects that spring to the door hinge arm. When the link cracks or snaps, the spring is effectively disconnected — so the door has no counterbalance and drops open under its own weight. This is the classic symptom. To confirm, pull the dishwasher out a few inches and look at the bottom hinge area on each side: if a link is broken, you'll often find the pieces on the floor or the spring hanging loose. If both links are intact, check the door hinge cable for fraying or the spring for damage.
Should I order one or two?
Order two. Your dishwasher has a door spring and hinge arm link on both sides of the door — and this part is sold individually. Many customers order one, replace the broken link, push the dishwasher back into the cabinet, and only then realize the second link exists (and is the same age, with the same wear). Since the tedious part of the job is pulling the dishwasher out from under the counter, replacing both links while you're already in there is the smart move. At a few dollars each, having a spare on hand is cheap insurance against doing the whole job over in a few months.
Why do these little plastic links break?
Ordinary wear and tear. The hinge arm link is a small plastic component that carries a surprising amount of load — every time you open the door, it transmits the spring's counterbalancing force to the hinge arm, and that load increases dramatically when the lower rack is fully loaded and resting on the open door. Over thousands of open/close cycles across years of use, the plastic fatigues and eventually cracks or snaps. It's a consumable wear item on GE dishwashers, which is exactly why GE uses the same inexpensive part across 2,100+ models.
Do I have to disconnect the water and electrical to pull the dishwasher out?
Often not. Many customers find that removing the top anchor screws and the bottom kick plate, then sliding the dishwasher out 8–10 inches, gives enough access to reach the hinge arm links — without disconnecting the water supply, drain hose, or electrical. It depends on how much slack your installer left in those lines. Pull the dishwasher out only as far as the connections allow, and see whether you can reach the hinge area. If the lines are too short and you can't reach, you'll need to disconnect the water supply, drain tube, and electrical (turn off power and water first). Either way, the link replacement itself takes only a few minutes once you can reach it.
Should I replace the door hinge cable at the same time?
Inspect it, and replace it if it shows any damage. The door hinge cable is the steel cable that connects the door spring assembly to the door hinge — it works alongside the link and spring in the same counterbalance system. If the cable is frayed, kinked, bent, or its crimped hook end is damaged, it will fail soon and you'll be pulling the dishwasher out again. Since you already have access, this is the ideal moment to check it. Also inspect the door spring itself for stretching or breakage. Contact our support team with your model number if you need the correct cable or spring part number.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same hinge arm link installed in compatible GE, GE Profile, Café, Monogram, Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, and Kenmore GE-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO (2 Pack) EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit
The XPARTCO (2 Pack) EXP570 is a two-kit set of aftermarket replacement door catch and strike kits for dryers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, LG, and other comparable brands. The catch and strike work as a pair: the strike on the dryer door engages the catch on the cabinet to hold the door shut for the whole cycle. When either part wears, cracks, or gets knocked out of alignment, the door stops latching reliably. It may not stay closed, it may pop open mid-cycle and let heat escape, or the dryer may refuse to start because it doesn't register the door as closed.
This 2-pack includes 2 kits, for a total of 2 door catches and 2 strikes. Each kit has 1 door catch and 1 strike, so you can replace the full latch set in one repair rather than guessing which half is worn, and keep a second kit for another dryer or a future repair. Because this latch design was used across several appliance families, the kit carries a long cross-reference list covering Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, LG, and Alliance-built part numbers; see the Replaces list below.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO (2 Pack) EXP570 Dryer Door Latch Kit fixes a dryer door that won't stay closed, opens mid-cycle, or an open-door condition that keeps the dryer from starting, caused by a worn or damaged catch and strike. This 2-pack includes 2 kits (2 door catches and 2 strikes). Fits Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Roper, Estate, Frigidaire, GE, Hotpoint, Inglis, and LG dryers. Classic symptom: the door swings open on its own, or you have to hold it shut to get the dryer to run.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer door won't stay closed
Door pops open in the middle of a cycle
Dryer won't start because the open-door condition isn't clearing
Worn, cracked, or damaged catch or strike
Heat escaping around the door, leaving clothes damp
Door that no longer latches with a firm, positive click

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. Open the door and inspect the old catch on the cabinet and the strike on the door for cracks, wear, or loose mounting. Remove the old catch and strike, keeping track of how each one is oriented and mounted. Fit the new catch and strike in the same positions and fasten them securely. Close the door and confirm it latches with a firm click, stays shut, and lines up evenly with the cabinet. If the door still won't seat properly after the swap, check the door hinges and alignment, since a misaligned door can wear out new latch parts quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer door won't stay shut — is this the part I need?
Very likely. A worn or damaged catch or strike is a common reason a dryer door won't latch or pops open mid-cycle. Inspect both parts for cracks or wear. Because the two work as a pair, replacing both at once is the surest fix.
My dryer won't start and seems to think the door is open. Could this be the cause?
It can be. If the door isn't latching fully, the dryer may not register it as closed. If the latch looks fine and the door closes firmly but the dryer still won't start, the door switch may be the problem instead.
What's included in the kit?
This 2-pack includes 2 kits, and each kit has 1 door catch and 1 strike, so you get 2 catches and 2 strikes in total. If you only need the catch, we also offer it separately as the EXP571 Dryer Door Catch.
Will this fit my Whirlpool, Frigidaire, GE, or LG dryer?
This kit is cross-referenced to part numbers from all of those brands, but it fits specific models rather than every dryer. Match the number on your old latch parts or parts diagram against the Replaces list, or contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm before you order.

XPARTCO 131763302 Washer Door Striker
The XPARTCO 131763302 is an aftermarket replacement washer door striker compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Tappan, and Westinghouse front-load washers — including the Frigidaire Affinity series and a broad set of GLTF, FAFW, FFFW, FFFS, ATF, ATFB, BLTF, CTF, CRTF, FCCW, FRFW, FTF, and FWFB models. The door striker (also called a door strike or door catch) attaches to the inside edge of the washer door and physically enters the lock mechanism on the front panel when the door closes. Once engaged, the strike is what the lock latches onto — and the strike also activates the door switch, signaling the control board that the door is safely closed and the washer can start.
When the striker fails — typically by cracking, chipping, or breaking off from repeated door closures — the washer will not start, will not lock the door, may leak water, or may fail to advance past the fill phase. Gray/red plastic construction, approximately 2.6" x 1.3". This is the current production part number that supersedes many earlier revisions. It directly replaces 131763302, 131763310, 131763300, 131763340, 131763330, 134456600, 134456602, 134456640, 1032664, 1564512, LP3310, PA66-GF25, WH10X10004, AP3580441, AP4508273, AH2378364, AH890617, EA2378364, EA890617, PD00000164, PS2378364, and PS890617. Often replaced together with the matching door lock assembly (131763256, sold separately). Installs in under 5 minutes — no tools required beyond a Phillips screwdriver.

Note: The door striker (131763302) and the door lock assembly (131763256) are two separate components that work together — the striker enters the lock, and the lock grips the striker. If both are worn or one has caused damage to the other, replacing them together as a matched set ensures reliable door locking and prevents premature wear on the new part. Always verify your model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Quick Toolless Replacement Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer door — if the door is stuck locked because of a failed lock, use a putty knife to release the manual override latch through the bottom service opening. Locate the old door striker on the inside edge of the washer door. It's typically secured by a single Phillips screw. Unscrew the mounting screw and remove the old striker. If the striker has broken off inside the lock mechanism on the front panel, remove any broken pieces from the lock before proceeding — leaving debris in the lock will damage the new striker and prevent proper engagement. Take the new 131763302 striker and align it with the mounting hole in the same direction and orientation as the old one — installing it backwards will prevent the lock from engaging. Secure the new striker with the Phillips mounting screw. Close the door and confirm the striker enters the lock slot smoothly. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the door locks properly and the washer starts. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife (for stuck doors), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the door striker and the door lock assembly?
These are two separate parts that work together as a system to lock the washer door. The door striker (131763302) is the plastic part attached to the inside edge of the washer door — when the door closes, the striker enters the lock. The door lock assembly (131763256) is the assembly mounted on the front panel just inside the door opening — it contains the latching mechanism that grips the striker and the electrical switch that tells the control board the door is closed. If the striker is broken, the lock has nothing to grip and the washer won't start. If the lock is broken, the striker can still enter the slot but the lock won't hold it or send the right signal. Both can fail independently, and often wear together — many repairs call for replacing both at the same time.
What is the difference between 131763302 and the older 131763310 or 131763300?
All are the same door striker across production revisions. 131763300 was the original OEM part number, 131763310 and 131763340 were mid-generation revisions, and 131763302 is the current OEM production version. Frigidaire also uses 134456600, 134456602, and 134456640 as additional catalog references for the same part. All are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your washer's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, the 131763302 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers all of them.
My washer won't start and the door seems to close normally — could this be the striker?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed door striker on Frigidaire-platform front-load washers. Even though the door appears to close, if the striker has cracked or worn down, it may not physically engage the lock or activate the door switch correctly. Visually inspect the striker on the inside edge of the door — if it's broken, missing, chipped, or its tab has worn down, replacement is straightforward. Also inspect the lock opening on the front panel: if there are broken plastic pieces inside from the old striker, they need to be removed before the new striker can seat properly.
Do I really only need a Phillips screwdriver for this repair?
Correct — the 131763302 striker is held in place by a single Phillips mounting screw on the inside edge of the washer door. Remove the old striker, install the new one in the same orientation, and tighten the screw. The whole replacement typically takes under 5 minutes once you have the new part in hand. Just make sure to install it in the correct direction — installing the striker backwards will prevent the lock from engaging when the door closes.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic to match the dimensions (approximately 2.6" x 1.3"), mounting configuration, and lock-engagement function of the original 131763302 door striker used in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and related front-load washers.
