Frequently Asked Questions
What does the W11307244 lid lock do?
The lid lock helps secure the washer lid and allows the washer control to detect the lid’s locked/closed condition during applicable parts of the wash cycle.
Why won’t my Whirlpool washer lock the lid?
Possible causes include a damaged lid strike, obstruction around the latch, faulty lid-lock assembly, damaged wiring, or a control-related problem. Check these components before replacing the lock.
Can a bad lid lock stop a Whirlpool washer from spinning?
Yes. On compatible Whirlpool washers, the control may prevent certain operations, including spinning, when it cannot confirm the required lid-lock condition.
Is W11307244 compatible with every Whirlpool washer?
No. W11307244 is not a universal Whirlpool washer part. Verify the exact washer model and part compatibility before ordering.
Should I replace the lid strike too?
Not necessarily. Inspect the strike first. If it is cracked, broken, bent, or unable to engage the lock correctly, it may also need replacement.
