Part Information

Part Number/SKU: W11457841

Appliance Type: Washing Machine (Lid Strike)

Purpose

This lid strike engages the lid switch when the washer lid closes, allowing the machine to detect that the lid is shut and enabling safe operation.

Details

The W11457841 is a genuine OEM lid strike designed for Whirlpool and related top-loading washers. This small but essential plastic component attaches to the lid and makes contact with the lid switch when closed. Without it, the washer cannot confirm lid closure and will not operate properly. Installation is simple—just twist the old strike out and lock the new one in place.

Included Items

Includes the lid strike piece only.

Compatible Models

Used in many Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and related top-loading washers that require the W11457841 strike or its predecessor W11091027. Always confirm compatibility with your washer’s parts diagram.
