This door strike is a crucial safety component in top-load washing machines, designed to engage with the door latch and keep the lid securely closed during operation. Located along the door frame, it helps prevent water leakage, accidental openings, and potential damage to the appliance. If the strike is worn or damaged, the washer may fail to start or stop mid-cycle. Replacing it promptly ensures safe and reliable performance. Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools.

Tab on door strike got broken off and washer would not operate without it.
Pushed in on door strike and rotated it counterclockwise, removed broken strike and installed new strike. NOTE: when removing the old strike (turning counterclockwise) it felt like it might break and/or was attached with an screw that I didn't see but it came right out.

The lid was closed to hard causing the door strike, lid lock bezel and assembly to break.
Changing the door strike was simple just a quarter turn and it pops off. Changing the assembly, remove the screws from the back side at the top, move to facing the front of the machine pull the top toward you about a half inch and it will open. From the back unplug the correct wire, remove assembly and then install in reverse. Good luck.
Super easy repair, simply turn the broken door strike counterclockwise to remove; insert the new door strike into the slots and turn clockwise to lock into place.
