W10810403 - Whirlpool Washer Latch

This Washer Latch (W10810403) is a genuine part for Whirlpool washing machines, also fitting Maytag models. These heavy duty latches are essential for keeping your washer's door tightly shut during operation, ensuring safe and efficient laundry sessions. By using rotating cams to compress gaskets and leveraging doors closed, these latches not only prevent leaks but also align sealing surfaces for optimum performance. Made from corrosion-resistant materials, they are designed to withstand the humid environment within your appliance, maintaining positive closure with spring-loaded mechanisms. If you're experiencing leaks from your washing machine or the door seems to sag and won't stay closed, it might be time to consider a replacement. This could be a sign that your latch has failed and can no longer contain your washing loads safely. It's crucial to verify your washer model number to ensure compatibility before purchasing the replacement latch.
