XPARTCO 3406107 Dryer Door Switch Replaces WP3406107
The XPARTCO 3406107 is an aftermarket replacement door switch for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers. Mounted inside the upper corner of the front panel, this safety switch has a spring-loaded black tab that gets pressed in when the door closes. That contact tells the control board the door is shut, which is required before the dryer will start, and it also powers the interior drum light. Over time the switch's internal contacts wear out or the tab loses spring tension, and the dryer either won't start at all or runs with the door open — a safety condition the switch is specifically designed to prevent.
This is a three-wire SPDT (single pole, double throw) switch built to the same dimensions and mounting points as the original, and it's designed to remain compatible with older two-wire harnesses as well. Direct-fit aftermarket replacement, no wiring modifications needed.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 3406107 Dryer Door Switch fixes a dryer that won't start, runs with the door open, or has a dead interior light. Direct-fit replacement for OEM WP3406107. Classic symptom: pressing start does nothing until you push and hold the door shut, or the drum light never comes on.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start even though the door is closed
Dryer runs with the door open (safety switch failure)
Interior drum light doesn't turn on
Door doesn't seem to latch or seal properly against the switch tab
Drum doesn't spin, or cycle stops intermittently
Touchpad or start button appears unresponsive
Cross Reference Information

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer or switch off its circuit breaker before beginning. The switch is mounted inside the upper corner of the front panel, so you'll need to remove the front panel or top panel per your model's service guide to access it. Disconnect the wire connector from the old switch, then remove the mounting screw(s) holding it in place. Install the new switch in the same position, reconnect the wire connector, and reinstall the panel. Before closing everything up, you can test the switch by pressing the black tab — you should feel spring resistance and hear or feel a distinct click. Restore power and confirm the dryer starts normally with the door closed and stops when the door is opened.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start — is this the part I need?
This is one of the most common causes of a dryer that won't start even with the door closed. Try pressing the black tab on the switch by hand — if it feels loose, doesn't click, or offers no resistance, the switch has likely failed and needs replacement.
My dryer runs even with the door open — is that dangerous?
Yes, this indicates the door safety switch has failed in a way that no longer prevents operation with the door open, which is a safety hazard. Replace the switch promptly and avoid running the dryer with the door open in the meantime.
My dryer has a two-wire connector — will this three-wire switch still work?
Yes. This switch was redesigned to a three-wire configuration but remains compatible with older two-wire wiring harnesses, so it's a safe direct replacement regardless of which wire configuration your dryer currently has.
Does this switch also control the interior light?
Yes. This switch serves a dual function — it's the safety interlock that permits the dryer to run only with the door closed, and it also powers the interior drum light when the door is open.

XPARTCO 3406105 Dryer Door Switch Replaces WP3406105
The XPARTCO 3406105 is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool-family dryers including Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Norge. The door switch is a safety component mounted inside the dryer cabinet near the door opening. When the door is closed, the door strike depresses the switch actuator, completing the circuit and allowing the dryer to start and run. When the door is opened, the switch opens the circuit and stops the dryer. On models with a broken belt detection circuit, the door switch also plays a role in belt failure detection. A failed door switch causes the dryer to either not start at all or to run continuously with the door open.
This is a Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT) 3-wire switch with stainless steel terminals and a heat-resistant housing. It measures 1-3/4" L x 1-5/8" W x 1-1/4" H with a 7-3/4" wiring harness. Electrical specs are 120-240V, 50-60Hz, 11A, 1/3HP. The kit includes the switch and 3-wire harness assembly.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. The door switch is located inside the dryer cabinet near the door opening, typically mounted in the front panel or top panel. Access it by inserting a putty knife under the top panel to release the spring clips and lift the top, then release the front panel. Locate the old door switch — it is a small rectangular component with a spring-loaded actuator button. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting. Disconnect the 3-wire harness from the old switch. Release the switch from its mounting bracket by pressing the retaining tabs and pulling the switch free, or unscrewing the mounting screw. Snap the new 3406105 switch into the mounting bracket and reconnect the 3-wire harness in the same positions. Reassemble the front and top panels, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the dryer starts, stops when the door is opened, and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dryer door switch do?
The door switch is a safety component that monitors whether the dryer door is open or closed. When the door is closed, the door strike depresses the switch actuator, completing the electrical circuit and signaling the control board that it is safe to run. When the door is opened, the actuator releases, opening the circuit and stopping the dryer immediately. On many Whirlpool-family dryers, the 3-wire SPDT switch also provides a secondary circuit used for broken belt detection — one of the switch's contacts is part of the motor start circuit, while the other is part of a safety cutoff circuit.
How do I test the door switch with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect the switch from the harness. Set your multimeter to continuity mode. The 3406105 is an SPDT switch with three terminals — typically labeled Common (C), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC). With the actuator button not pressed (door open position), you should read continuity between C and NC, and no continuity between C and NO. With the actuator button pressed (door closed position), you should read continuity between C and NO, and no continuity between C and NC. Any deviation from this pattern confirms the switch has failed.
What is the difference between 3406105 and 3406104?
The 3406104 was the original part number, and the 3406105 (later updated to WP3406105) is the current replacement that superseded it. They are the same door switch and are fully interchangeable. The 3405104 and 3405105 are also cross-references for this same switch from earlier production. If your dryer's documentation or old switch label shows any of these numbers, the 3406105 is the correct current replacement.
Why does this switch have 3 wires when my old switch only had 2?
The WP3406105 is an SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) switch with 3 terminals — Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed. Some older dryer models used a simpler 2-wire switch, but the 3-wire WP3406105 is the updated replacement that works on both older and newer models. On models that originally had a 2-wire switch, only two of the three terminals are used — the third is simply left unconnected. Follow your model's wiring diagram or take a photo of the original switch's wire connections before removing it.
Is this an 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 from durable plastic and metal with stainless steel terminals to match the dimensions and electrical specifications of the original WP3406105 door switch assembly.

Genuine OEM WP3406107 Dryer Door Switch
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool WP3406107 is a dryer door switch for Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and KitchenAid dryers. It mounts inside the top of the dryer's front panel, with one end connecting to the wiring harness and the other passing through the panel to make contact with the door. When the door closes, it presses the switch's black tab, which tells the dryer the door is shut so it can run. When the switch wears out, the dryer may not start, may run with the door open, or may lose its interior light.
This is the original Whirlpool part, a white, 6.5 inch, three-wire switch. Retailers describe the switch as a regular wear part and rate the repair as really easy, typically 15 to 30 minutes.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WP3406107 Door Switch fixes a Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, or KitchenAid dryer that won't start, runs with the door open, has a light that doesn't work, or has a door that won't close properly. Quick test: with the dryer unplugged, press the switch's black tab. If it has no resistance and doesn't click, the switch likely needs replacing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start
Dryer runs with the door open

XPARTCO DC64-00828B Dryer Door Switch
The XPARTCO DC64-00828B is an aftermarket replacement dryer door switch (also called a door jamb switch) compatible with a wide range of Samsung and Kenmore Samsung-built electric and gas dryers — including the DV2, DV3, DV4, DV5, DVE, DVG, 592, 401, and 402 series. The door switch is a small safety component mounted near the dryer door frame that detects whether the door is closed. When the door closes, the switch is activated, signaling the control board that the dryer is safe to start or continue running. If the switch fails to detect the closed door, the dryer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or in rare unsafe failure modes, may continue running with the door open.
This switch directly replaces DC64-00828A (the prior version), 2071595, AP4578931, EAP4210965, PS4210965, PS4210964, 2071594, and PD00028436. It is constructed from durable plastic and metal in white, with dimensions of approximately 1.73"L x 1.73"W x 0.47"H. Note: while this switch looks easy to remove, the front panel actually needs to come off to access it cleanly. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and turn off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Although the door switch appears easy to access from the front, on most Samsung dryer models the front panel actually needs to be removed to install the new switch cleanly. Unscrew and lift off the front panel — be careful not to drop it during reinstallation. Locate the old door switch mounted near the door frame opening. Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the wire harness from the old switch, release the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screws holding the switch in place, and pull it free. Install the new DC64-00828B switch in the same position, reconnect the wire harness, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power, then close the dryer door and start a cycle to confirm the door is properly detected and the dryer runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes dC, dF, dE, and d0 mean on Samsung dryers?
These door-related error codes on Samsung dryers all indicate the control board is not receiving the expected "door closed" signal from the door switch. dC and d0 commonly appear when the dryer cannot detect a closed door at the start of a cycle, while dF and dE appear when the door signal is lost during a cycle. The dryer's safety logic prevents operation under any of these conditions. Replacing a failed DC64-00828B door switch resolves these codes when the switch itself is the cause; if the codes persist after replacement, check the wiring harness between the switch and the control board for damage.
My dryer is running with the door open — what should I do?
A dryer that continues to run with the door open is a serious safety concern and should be addressed immediately. This usually indicates a failed door switch that is stuck in the "closed" position electrically, even though the door is physically open. Disconnect power to the dryer right away and avoid running it until the switch has been replaced. The DC64-00828B replacement restores normal safety behavior. Until the repair is complete, do not run the dryer.
What is the difference between DC64-00828B and DC64-00828A?
These are the same door switch across successive production revisions. DC64-00828A was the original part number and DC64-00828B is the current updated version. Both are fully interchangeable — if your dryer's parts diagram shows DC64-00828A, the DC64-00828B is the correct current replacement and is covered by this listing.
My dryer suddenly stops mid-cycle even though the door is closed — could this be the switch?
Yes — a door switch with intermittent contact failure is a common cause of unexplained mid-cycle shutdowns on Samsung dryers. The switch may be working correctly when first activated but losing its signal momentarily during operation due to vibration or worn internal contacts, causing the control board to interpret a momentary "door open" condition and stop the cycle. If this is happening repeatedly without any other identifiable cause, replacing the DC64-00828B door switch is the recommended fix.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Samsung OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic and metal to match the dimensions, switch contacts, and function of the original DC64-00828B dryer door switch.

Genuine OEM WPW10446920 Dryer Push-To-Start Switch
The Genuine OEM WPW10446920 is a factory-original push-to-start switch manufactured by Whirlpool for use in Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, Inglis, and other Whirlpool-built dryers that use a momentary push-button start control rather than a pull/rotary start knob. Pressing and releasing the button sends a signal to the timer or control board that begins the drying cycle; the switch itself does not stay latched, so the control electronics — not the switch — keep the dryer running after you let go.
When this switch fails, the dryer typically has power (the display and drum lights, if equipped, still work) but pressing Start does nothing, or the button feels mushy and requires several presses to register. As the genuine Whirlpool part, it ships with the exact factory-specified contacts, housing, and three-terminal wiring connector used on original production, so there's no fit or function guesswork. It directly replaces W10446920, 4446934, AP6021533, AWP51175, EAP11754857, OEM18064608, PD00038667, PS11754857. Installs in 15–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WPW10446920 Dryer Push-To-Start Switch fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, and Inglis dryers that won't start when the Start button is pressed, even though the dryer otherwise has power. This is the factory-original Whirlpool switch — not an aftermarket equivalent — with a 3-terminal wiring connector. Replaces W10446920, 4446934, AP6021533, AWP51175, EAP11754857, OEM18064608, PD00038667, PS11754857. Classic symptom: display and lights work, but pressing Start produces no response at all.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer won't start when the Start button is pressed
Start button feels loose, mushy, or requires multiple presses to register
Dryer has power (lights/display work) but the motor never engages
Intermittent starting — sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
Audible click from the button with no response from the dryer
Start switch visibly cracked, stuck, or not returning after being pressed

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Access the control panel — on most models this means removing a few screws along the top or rear of the console, or releasing spring clips, and tilting or lifting the panel to expose the back of the start switch. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the 3-terminal wiring connector from the old switch — note the connector orientation. Depress the retaining tabs or remove the mounting screw(s) holding the switch in the control panel and push it out from the back. Install the new WPW10446920 switch into the same opening until it snaps or seats into place. Reconnect the wiring connector, matching your photos. Reassemble the control panel and secure it with its screws or clips. Plug the dryer back in and test by pressing Start — confirm the dryer begins its cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver (for spring clips, if applicable).
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer has power but won't start when I press the button — is this the part?
This is the classic symptom of a failed push-to-start switch. If the display and any lights still work but pressing Start produces no response — not even a click or hum from the motor — the start switch is the most common cause. If you do hear a hum or click but the drum still doesn't turn, also check the thermal fuse and cycling thermostat, since a tripped thermal fuse can sometimes present with similar no-start symptoms.
Will this fit my dryer?
WPW10446920 and its cross-reference numbers fit a range of Whirlpool-built dryers across several brands, but only models with a push-to-start button — not a rotary or pull-to-start knob. Confirm fit using your dryer's exact model number before ordering, since the two start mechanisms are not interchangeable.
Is this a genuine Whirlpool part or an aftermarket equivalent?
This is the genuine, factory-original Whirlpool part — not an aftermarket equivalent. It ships with the same contacts, housing, and 3-terminal connector used in original production, so there's no guesswork on fit, feel, or electrical rating.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
No — just a Phillips screwdriver and, on some models, a putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver to release the control panel's spring clips. No soldering or wire splicing is required; the switch connects via its original 3-terminal plug.

XPARTCO W10195039 Dishwasher Float Switch
The XPARTCO W10195039 is an aftermarket replacement float switch for Whirlpool-built dishwashers sold under the Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana and related brand names. The float switch is the safety device that shuts off the water fill valve if the water level gets too high before the timed fill cycle ends, so a failed float can mean overfilling or a dishwasher that won't fill properly.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original Whirlpool float switch, which is sold as W10195039 and WPW10195039. Float problems can look like valve or control problems, so check the float for a stuck or damaged action before replacing it.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10195039 Float Switch fixes a Whirlpool-built dishwasher that overfills, leaks from too much water, or won't fill because the float is stuck, damaged, or no longer switching. It is also listed as WPW10195039. Classic symptom: water keeps filling past the normal level, or the dishwasher won't fill and the float looks stuck or cracked.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishwasher overfills or the water level gets too high
Water leaking from too much water in the tub
Dishwasher won't fill because the float switch is stuck or failed
Float is cracked, broken, or doesn't move freely

W10195039 is the older Whirlpool number and WPW10195039 is its current replacement. W10734532 comes from a single retailer cross-reference, so confirm against your dishwasher's parts diagram, or contact our support team, if your model calls out a different number.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power and Shut Off the Water Unplug the dishwasher or switch off its circuit breaker, and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Follow your model's service guide to reach the float switch, and note the position of each wire connector before disconnecting it. Install the new float switch in the same position, reconnect the wires, and check that the float moves freely before closing the dishwasher. Run a cycle and check for leaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the float switch do?
It shuts off the water fill valve if the water level gets too high before the timed fill cycle ends. It is a safety device that helps prevent overflow.
My dishwasher still won't fill. Will this fix it?
Only if the float is the cause. A dishwasher that won't fill can also have a bad inlet valve, a clogged inlet screen, or a control problem. Check that the float moves freely and test the valve first.
Is W10195039 the same as WPW10195039?
Yes. W10195039 is the older Whirlpool number and WPW10195039 is its replacement. This float switch covers both.
Will this fit my dishwasher?
It is listed for many Whirlpool-built dishwashers, 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.

Description: This Door Switch is a replacement part for select Whirlpool dryer models. It is responsible for detecting whether the dryer door is open or closed. When the door is closed, the switch allows the dryer to operate. Conversely, if the door is open, the switch interrupts the electrical circuit to prevent the dryer from running, ensuring safety during use.

XPARTCO WH03X30517 Washer Shift Actuator
The XPARTCO WH03X30517 is an aftermarket replacement shift actuator (mode shifter) for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore models. Mounted at the bottom of the washer, this actuator changes the function of the washer's motor between agitation and spin cycles, effectively managing the conversion from agitation to high-speed rotation that removes moisture from clothing at the end of the wash.
Made mostly of plastic, with two mounting holes and a single wire harness connection. Over time, the actuator's internal motor can burn out or fail electrically. Symptoms of a failing shift actuator include the washer failing to switch between agitation and spin modes, the washer not spinning or agitating at all, abnormal noise or grinding during the cycle, or clothes coming out still soggy after a completed wash. It directly replaces WH03X30517, WH05X24435, WH05X25036, 290D1056G001, 4588015, 4961069, AP7014559, AGE25894, PD00068062, EAP16554752, PS16554752.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH03X30517 Washer Shift Actuator fixes GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore top-load washers that won't switch between agitation and spin, won't spin or agitate at all, or leave clothes still soggy after a wash. Sold individually. Replaces WH03X30517, WH05X24435, WH05X25036, 290D1056G001, 4588015, 4961069, AP7014559, AGE25894, PD00068062, EAP16554752, PS16554752. If your washer agitates and spins fine individually but still won't switch between the two modes after replacing this actuator, the underlying cause may lie elsewhere — one customer found this exact residual symptom after installing this part.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't switch between agitation and spin modes
Washer not spinning or agitating at all
Abnormal noise or grinding during the wash cycle
Clothes still soggy after a completed wash cycle
No clicking sound heard when the washer attempts to change modes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Laying The Washer On Its Side Makes Access Easier Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. This repair typically requires tipping or laying the washer on its side to access the bottom of the machine, where the shift actuator is mounted. Lay the washer down carefully, protecting the floor and the washer's exterior. Locate the shifter connector and unplug it, then remove the two screws holding the actuator in place. Take out the old actuator. Install the new WH03X30517 in the same position, securing it with the two mounting screws, and reconnect the wire harness connector fully. Stand the washer back upright. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the washer switches correctly between agitation and spin, listening for a clicking sound as it changes modes. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't switch from wash to spin, but it will spin if I catch it there. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a well-documented symptom of a failing shift actuator. One customer described their machine not going to wash mode with no clicking sound heard when the mode should change, which is a classic sign this part has failed. They accessed the actuator by laying the machine on its side, then unplugged the shifter connector and removed two screws to complete the swap.
I replaced this part but my washer still won't switch from wash to spin. What's going on?
This is a fair question, and it's worth knowing that replacing this actuator doesn't always resolve every mode-switching problem on its own. One customer replaced the mode shifter, cleared all codes, and confirmed the washer agitated and spun fine individually, but it still wouldn't switch between the two modes — suggesting a different or additional component may have been involved in their specific case. If you're still having trouble after installing this part, further diagnosis of the transmission or related components may be needed.
Does this come with the clutch too?
No, this listing is for the shift actuator only, sold individually. A related shift clutch, WH05X24185, is a separate part — if your repair requires replacing both, you'll need to order the clutch separately.
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 to match the mounting, wiring, and switching function of the original WH03X30517 shift actuator used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore top-load washers.

W11457841 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lid Strike
The W11457841 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement washer lid 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 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 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 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. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W11457841 is the current production part, directly superseding 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

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 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 strike: rotate the strike counterclockwise until the retaining tab breaks free and pulls back, then pull the old 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 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 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 strike across production revisions. W11091027 was the earlier OEM part number, and W11457841 is the current production version that Whirlpool issued as a direct replacement. Both parts are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows W11091027, the W11457841 is the correct current replacement, and this listing 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 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 strike on the underside of the lid — if it's broken, missing, or chipped, replacement is straightforward. If the 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 strike uses a twist-in design with no screws or hardware. To remove the old 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 a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same lid strike installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
