ZNTVW Washer Lid Lock Kit W10404050 W10238287 — Replacement Latch, Harness & Dual Bezels (White/Gray)

The ZNTVW W10404050 / W10238287 Washer Lid Lock Latch Switch and Harness Kit is a direct-replacement assembly that restores lid locking, starting, and spin functions on compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore and similar top-load washers.

This factory-certified replacement kit supplies the lid lock mechanism, wiring harness and two bezels to match your washer trim. Designed to meet OEM form and fit, it addresses the most common symptoms of a failed lid lock — the washer not starting, failing to lock, or refusing to spin or agitate. The kit includes installation instructions and is suitable for a wide range of appliance models; minor trimming of the connector housing can make it fit additional variants.

How will this lid lock kit fix my washer’s symptoms?

When the lid lock fails, the washer’s control will often prevent operations like spinning, agitating or starting for safety reasons. Replacing the faulty lock assembly with the W10404050/W10238287 kit restores the electrical interlock and mechanical latch so the machine can recognize a closed lid and proceed through cycles.

• Resolves issues: washer won’t start, won’t spin, won’t agitate, or won’t lock/open.
• Factory-certified part built to match original electrical connections and mounting points.
• Includes two bezels (white and gray) for trim matching.
• Compatible with many Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore and Amana top-load models.
