WPW10488048 Whirlpool Strike

The Washer Door Strike attaches to the latch assembly and helps communicate to the appliance that the door is closed and can begin operation. If your washer's door doesn't close properly, or if the mounting tabs of the part are visibly broken, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. Installing the new door strike will require basic hand tools, minor disassembly of the washing machine and novice repair experience. You must unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh Washing Machine Cleaner* item W10501250 once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.This product is a Factory Certified Part.
