The lid latch 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 latch 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the lid latch 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. This W11457841 aftermarket replacement is built to OEM-equivalent specifications and supersedes the earlier 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.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer lid and locate the lid latch 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 latch strike: rotate it counterclockwise until the retaining tab breaks free and pulls back, then pull the old latch 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 latch 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWhat's the difference between the lid strike, lid lock, and lid switch?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eThese three components work together as a safety system. The \u003cstrong\u003elid latch strike\u003c\/strong\u003e (W11457841) is the small plastic peg attached to the underside of the lid that physically enters the lock slot when the lid closes. The \u003cstrong\u003elid lock\u003c\/strong\u003e is the mechanism in the washer cabinet that grips the strike and physically locks the lid closed during the spin cycle. The \u003cstrong\u003elid switch\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between W11457841 and W11091027?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eThese 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eMy washer won't start and the lid seems to close normally — could this be the strike?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eYes, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eDo I really not need any tools to install this?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eCorrect — 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.
