Customer Questions and Answers for Door Lock Assembly (Washer) by Frigidaire

This washer door lock secures the door closed and communicates locked status to the control so cycles can run safely. Replacing a failed lock restores proper latching and may resolve no-start, spin, or door/lock error issues.

• Locks the door at the start of the cycle to prevent opening during wash and spin
• Signals the control when the door is closed and locked
• Releases the door at the end of the cycle
• Common symptoms: won't start, door won't lock/unlock, intermittent pauses, door/lock error message

• Unplug the washer before servicing
• Access the lock from the front; remove the door gasket clamp and mounting screws (procedure varies by model)
• Transfer wires to the new lock one connector at a time; do not force terminals
• Verify the door striker engages smoothly and test an empty cycle before full use
