Customer Questions and Answers for Door Latch Hook by Lg

The Door Latch Hook is an OEM replacement part for LG front load washers. It is a component of the overall latch and locking assembly and works to securely close and lock the washer door. With a properly functioning latch hook, the washer door remains tightly sealed during cycles to ensure optimal water retention and the most thorough cleaning. 

Symptoms of a bad door latch hook include:

• Water leaks around the door during washing cycles
• The door fails to latch fully and unlock after cycles 
• Difficulty opening or closing the washer door completely
• Alignment issues like misaligned or skewed door positions

Causes of a bad door latch hook can include wear over extended use. Damage may also result from washing hard or abrasive items that put excess strain on the latch mechanism over time.

This OEM LG part is compatible with Sears/Kenmore front-load washer models as well.
