Part WH10X40097 Washer Lid Frame and Glass Assembly
Purpose
Encloses the wash tub and engages the lid safety lock.
Details
The WH10X40097 is a genuine OEM white lid frame and clear glass assembly designed for top-load washing machines. This complete assembly provides a secure barrier to prevent water from splashing out during intense wash cycles while allowing clear visibility into the tub. A critical structural function of this lid is to correctly align with and engage the lid lock strike mechanism. If the plastic framing near the hinges cracks, fractures, or warps, the lid will fail to sit level, preventing the machine from locking and starting a cycle. Replacing a damaged lid assembly restores safety and full machine operation.
Included Items
One complete white lid frame and integrated glass window panel. Required tools: Multi-screwdriver or nut driver, putty knife, and work gloves.
