421724P Genuine Steel Lid Assembly for Fisher & Paykel Top Load Washing Machines WA1068G1 WL4227J1 WA4127G1 WL4027J1 WA3927G1 WL4027G1

A bent, rusted or broken lid makes a top loader awkward to use and can stop it working altogether. Part 421724P is the genuine Fisher & Paykel steel lid assembly for the WA1068G1 and WA3927G1, the WA3927G2 and WA4127G1, along with the WL4027G1, WL4027J1 and WL4227J1. Check the model label on your washer before ordering, as lids differ between ranges.

Why a damaged washer lid matters

The lid does more than keep splashes in. Top loaders check the lid is shut before they spin, and the lid lock holds it closed while the bowl is moving at speed. A lid that's warped or cracked near the hinge may not sit flat, so the machine refuses to start, pauses mid-cycle or shows a lid fault. Rust at the edges and chipped paint are common on steel lids after years of wet laundry and detergent spills, and sharp edges can snag clothing.

Changing the lid

Unplug the washer before you start. Open the lid and support it while you release the hinge fixings, keeping track of any springs, washers or spacers. Compare the old and new lids side by side and move across any parts that aren't already fitted to the new one. Close it gently to check it lines up and that the machine detects it as closed before running a cycle.

Questions about this part

Where is the model number on my Fisher & Paykel top loader?

Look for the rating label, usually on the back panel or under the lid. It lists the model, such as WA3927G2, and a serial number. The letter and digit at the end matter, so quote the full model when you enquire.
