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.

How to Replace the Whirlpool WPW10488048 Strike
Replacing the strike on your Whirlpool range can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. With just some basic tools and a few minutes of time, you can get your range back in working order in no time. Here are the steps for replacing the Whirlpool WPW10488048 strike.
1. Unplug the power cord of your range from the electrical outlet.
2. Locate the screws that secure the access panel to the rear of the range and remove them with a Phillips-head screwdriver.
3. Inspect the back of the range for the existing strike. Once located, slide a thin flathead screwdriver between the bent metal tab of the strike and the access panel. Then gently pry up on the tab to release the strike from the range.
4. Take your new strike and line up the mounting holes with the corresponding holes on the access panel.
5. Secure the strike to the access panel with the mounting screws that were removed earlier.
6. Reconnect the power cord to the range and check the operation of the range. If it is still not operating normally, contact a Whirlpool certified service technician.
Congratulations! You have successfully replaced the Whirlpool WPW10488048 strike.
Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
