Abstract
A lid assembly for a washing machine appliance includes a door body pivotally mounted to a top panel of a cabinet and being moveable between an open position and a closed position. The door body defines one or more slots in a rear side of the door body for receiving a retractable hanger which is movable between an extended position and a retracted position when the door body is in the open position. Lid assembly may further include biasing mechanisms for urging the retractable hanger to the extended or retracted positions and locking mechanisms to fix the position of the retractable hanger.
