W11307244 W10682535 Washer Lid Lock and Strike - Reliable Replacement

In this review of the W11307244 W10682535 washer lid lock and W10837741 lid strike, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for homeowners and repair techs who need a direct replacement to fix a lid that will not latch or opens during a cycle. The reviewer found the parts offer broad compatibility with Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore and similar models and that installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable removing a washer top. The single biggest reason to buy is the direct parts interchangeability that restores normal locking function without replacing larger assemblies.

Key Features

• Direct replacement compatibility: Replaces several factory part numbers so users can restore the original locking mechanism without complex workarounds.
• Broad model fit: Fits a range of Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore and other models such as WTW4816FW3 and WTW5000DW2 for flexible repair use.
• Durable construction: The lock cover is made from high-quality plastic and upgraded bellows for improved mechanical strength and longer life.
• Complete kit: Includes the W11307244 lid lock, W10837741 strike and troubleshooting instructions so installers have what they need in one package.
• Return and support: Comes with a three-year after-sales option for return or exchange if the part is incompatible or defective.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at DIY homeowners, appliance repair technicians, and property managers who need a targeted repair for a washer lid that will not close or unlock properly. It is especially useful when the washer displays a locked lid or when the lid accidentally opens during a cycle and the original lock assembly needs replacement.

Those who should look elsewhere are people unsure which component is failing or those who need a full control board or cabinet replacement instead of a lid lock; check the washer manual and model compatibility closely before purchasing to ensure this is the correct part.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good fit across many models, reducing the need to source OEM parts separately.
• Clear installation for users familiar with basic appliance repair, often completed in under 30 minutes.
• Includes both lock and strike plus troubleshooting guidance to address common fit issues.

Cons

• Some users report mixed functionality results where the lid still may not close properly, so confirming compatibility is essential.
