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.

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.

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

Note: If both the door strike (MFG63099101) and the door lock switch (EBF61315802) have failed or are worn, replacing them together as a matched set ensures reliable door locking and prevents premature wear on the new strike. Always verify your model number before ordering.

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.

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.

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.

XPARTCO 131763310 Washer Door Striker
The XPARTCO 131763310 is an aftermarket replacement door striker (also called a door strike or door catch) compatible with select Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Crosley, Gibson, White-Westinghouse, Kelvinator, and Tappan front-load washers. The door striker is a small plastic tab mounted on the washer door that engages with the door lock assembly on the front of the washer when the door is closed — activating the door switch and allowing the washer to start, fill, and spin. When the striker breaks or wears down, the door will not properly activate the door lock, causing the washer not to start, not to fill, or to display a door-related error code.
Made from durable white plastic, this striker measures approximately 1-1/4" L x 9/16" W x 2-9/16" H with approximately 2 inches between mounting holes (center to center). It directly replaces 131763300, 134456600, 1032664, LP3310, AP3580441, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Sold individually. Installs in under 15 minutes with a Phillips screwdriver.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning any repair. Open the washer door and locate the door striker — it is the small plastic tab mounted on the inside of the door, typically near the top or center of the door panel. Remove the two Phillips screws securing the old striker to the door. If the striker is broken, the screws may already be loose or missing. Align the new 131763310 striker with the mounting holes in the door and secure it with the two Phillips screws. Close the door to confirm it clicks firmly into the door lock assembly. Restore power and run a short cycle to verify the washer starts, fills, and runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver only.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the washer door striker do?
The door striker is the small plastic tab on the washer door that engages with the door lock assembly mounted on the front of the washer when the door is closed. As the door closes, the striker pushes into the door lock, activating the door switch — a signal to the control board that the door is securely closed. The washer will not start, fill, or spin unless the door switch is activated by the striker. A broken or worn striker means the door lock is never properly engaged, so the washer appears to be in a constant "door open" state even when the door is physically shut.
What is the difference between the 131763310 and 131763302 door strikers?
Both are Frigidaire-platform door strikers, they are different color and interchangeable. The 131763310 is used on older Frigidaire front-load washer models (ATF, GLTF, FAFW series and others). The 131763302 is a gray color used on newer Frigidaire and Electrolux models. Always compare your existing striker's shape and dimensions to confirm, or contact our support team with your model number.
Should I also replace the door lock assembly when replacing the striker?
Not necessarily — in most cases the striker is the only part that needs replacement. The striker is a small plastic tab that takes repeated impact every time the door is closed, making it the most commonly worn part in the door latch system. The door lock assembly (131763202) is more durable and less prone to failure. Inspect the door lock for any cracks, burn marks, or a latch that does not spring back after pressing — if it appears damaged, replace it as well. If the lock looks intact, the 131763310 striker alone should resolve the issue.
My washer door closes but the washer still won't start — is it the striker?
It may be. If the striker is cracked, worn, or broken, it may appear to engage the door lock but not push far enough into the lock assembly to fully activate the door switch. In other cases, a fully intact striker may not be the cause — the door lock assembly itself (131763202) or the door latch on the frame side may also be the culprit. Visually inspect the striker first — if it is visibly broken, replace it. If it appears intact, the issue may be with the door lock assembly or wiring.
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 OEM part, but is manufactured from durable plastic to match the dimensions and function of the original 131763310 door striker.

Description: This Door Strike is a replacement part for specific Maytag, Kenmore, Whirlpool washing machine models. This component is responsible for providing a secure and proper closure for the washer door, ensuring it seals tightly during operation.

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.

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.

XPARTCO WH01X20826 Washing Machine Shock Absorber
The XPARTCO WH01X20826 is an aftermarket replacement shock absorber (damper) for GE front-load washers. The wash tub inside a front-load washer hangs suspended inside the cabinet, and a set of these shock absorbers is what controls that movement — dampening the tub's vibration and motion during spin so it doesn't bang against the cabinet or shake the whole machine. These washers typically use four shock absorbers working together around the tub, and this listing is for a single individual shock absorber.
Over time the internal damping material in these shocks wears out, or the shock can physically separate from its mounting point — something that can also happen if the washer is moved or shifted without the tub properly secured first. Because all four shocks on a given washer are typically the same age and under the same stress, if one has failed the others are often not far behind — many technicians recommend ordering four of this same part and replacing the full set together as a preventative measure. A worn or detached shock absorber produces a very recognizable symptom: excessive vibration, shaking, or banging noise during the spin cycle, sometimes strong enough that the washer visibly moves or "walks" across the floor. It directly replaces WH01X20826, AGE25988, AP5982139, AGE25988, EAP11701130, PD00037528, PS11701130.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH01X20826 Washing Machine Shock Absorber fixes GE front-load washers (and select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, and Kenmore models built on the GE platform) that vibrate, shake, or bang excessively during spin, or seem to "walk" across the floor. Sold as a single individual shock absorber. Replaces WH01X20826, AGE25988, AP5982139, AGE25988, EAP11701130, PD00037528, PS11701130. These washers use four shock absorbers total — if one has failed, order four of this part to replace the full set, since they wear on the same schedule.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Excessive vibration or shaking during the spin cycle
Loud banging or knocking noise from inside the cabinet during spin
Washer that seems to "walk" or move across the floor during operation
Tub striking the cabinet frame or nearby panels
Shock absorber that has visibly separated or detached from its mounting point
Noise or vibration that started or worsened after the washer was moved or relocated
Visible wear, cracking, or looseness in the shock absorber material

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Consider Replacing All Four Shocks Together Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to the shock absorbers typically requires removing the top and/or front panel of the washer to reach the tub suspension points — check your model's service diagram, since access varies. Photograph how each old shock absorber connects to the frame and the tub before removing anything, since these components are symmetrical around the tub and easy to reverse or mismatch. Disconnect the old shock absorber from its mounting point at both the frame and tub ends, and remove the mounting pin. Install the new shock absorber in the same position with its mounting pin, matching the original orientation. If you're only replacing one shock, be aware the remaining three original shocks are the same age and under the same stress — many technicians recommend ordering three more of this same part and replacing all four together to avoid reopening the washer again soon after. Once installed, gently rock the tub by hand to confirm even resistance at each corner before reassembling the panels. Restore power and run a full spin cycle to confirm the vibration, shaking, or banging noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to order more than one of these?
This listing is for a single shock absorber, but GE front-load washers use four of them working together around the tub. If one has failed, it's strongly worth ordering four total and replacing the full set, since all four are typically the same age and have been under the same stress — replacing just one risks having to reopen the washer again soon after for the next one.
My washer started shaking right after I moved it to a new spot. Is that related?
Yes, this is a documented cause of shock absorber problems on this platform. If the tub wasn't properly secured or the washer was tilted significantly during a move, one or more shock absorbers can separate from their mounting point. Check that all four shocks are still properly connected at both ends before assuming a shock itself has failed — sometimes reseating a separated shock is all that's needed, though if it shows wear it's worth replacing regardless.
How much vibration is normal, and how do I know it's actually the shocks?
Some vibration during high-speed spin is normal, especially with an unbalanced load. But vibration strong enough to move the washer across the floor, or accompanied by a banging or knocking noise from inside the cabinet, points to a suspension problem rather than a simple unbalanced load. Try redistributing the laundry evenly in the drum and running the spin cycle again — if the shaking persists with a balanced load, inspect the shock absorbers for wear, cracking, or separation.
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 dimensions, mounting configuration, and damping performance of the original WH01X20826 shock absorber used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, and Kenmore front-load washers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning any repair. The lid switch assembly is mounted under the washer's top panel near the lid opening. To access it, insert a putty knife about 2 inches from each front corner of the top panel to release the spring clips and lift the top panel. Disconnect the 4-wire harness from the old lid switch assembly. Remove the mounting screws securing the assembly and lift it out. Install the new W10404050 assembly, secure with the mounting screws, and reconnect the 4-wire harness. Choose the appropriate bezel (white or gray) for your model and snap it into place. Lower the top panel until the clips engage. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm the lid locks, the washer starts, and the spin cycle stops when the lid is opened. Tip: While the top panel is raised, inspect the lid strike (W10240513) on the lid for cracks or wear — if worn, replace it at the same time. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat pry tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the washer lid switch do?
The lid switch assembly serves two functions. First, it is a safety device — when the lid is opened during the spin cycle, the switch immediately cuts power to the spin motor to prevent contact with the moving drum. Second, it signals the control board that the lid is securely closed and locked, allowing the washer to proceed through the fill, agitate, and spin cycles. If the switch fails, the washer either won't start at all, or will fail to proceed past a specific cycle stage because the board cannot confirm the lid is closed.
My lid lock light is blinking — does that mean the lid switch needs to be replaced?
A blinking lid lock light is one of the most common symptoms of a failed W10404050 lid switch assembly. It typically means the lid lock mechanism is attempting to engage but failing — either because the switch is internally faulty or because the lid strike (W10240513) on the lid is broken and not triggering the switch properly. Inspect the lid strike first — if it is cracked or missing, replace it. If the strike looks intact and the lid lock still blinks without engaging, replace the W10404050 switch assembly.
Should I also replace the lid strike (W10240513) at the same time?
It depends on the condition of the strike. Open the lid and inspect the two plastic prongs on the underside of the lid that engage the W10404050 latch — this is the W10240513 lid strike. If the prongs are cracked, broken, or noticeably worn down, replace the strike at the same time as the switch assembly. Since the top panel is already lifted for the switch replacement, it is a good opportunity to inspect and replace the strike if needed, using only a Phillips screwdriver.
What washers is the W10404050 compatible with?
The W10404050 is used on Whirlpool Cabrio and WTW series electronic top-load washers, Maytag Centennial and Bravos X top-load washers, and Kenmore 110 series top-load washers, among others. It is specifically for electronic top-load models with a 4-wire lid lock — not for older mechanical top-load washers that use a simpler 2- or 3-wire lid switch. Verify your model number before ordering.
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 switch and latch assembly installed in compatible washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
