Donnie W. for Model Number wfmc1001UC/02 How to install the machanical door latch? Do you have the steps?
Answer Hello Donnie. Disconnect the power to the unit. Open the door and remove the front seal spring. Pull the seal back to access the door lock assembly 00497255. Remove fascia panel 00660718 by removing (4) screws (and plastic screw caps). Carefully lay fascia panel out of the way (on top panel). Using a thin tool (e.g. awl or drill bit), push latch on circular drain pump access cover (through small hole in cover), then rotate cover (cw) clockwise to remove it. Disconnect green door lock manual release cable from drain pump (so door lock can be removed). Remove (2) screws holding door lock to front panel. Gently pry out white plastic front shield until it pops off front panel, then slide lock to left until black plastic lock rails clear notch infront frame. Disconnect (3) wire harness connectors from door lock. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, July 15, 2011
