Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Door Lock Switch by Lg

By: Lg

Manufacturer Part Number: EBF49827801

The Washer Door Lock Switch is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This critical safety feature locks the washer door during operation to prevent it from being opened, which ensures safety and proper functioning. The door lock switch also communicates with the washer's control system to indicate that the door is securely closed and the machine can begin its cycle.

Symptoms of a bad Washer Door Lock Switch include:

  • The washing machine refusing to start, despite the door appearing to be closed.
  • The door failing to lock properly, or the lock releasing prematurely during a cycle.
  • Error messages on the washer's display related to door closure issues.

Causes of a bad door lock switch can include mechanical failures such as worn or damaged locking mechanisms, electrical issues like faulty wiring or failed solenoids, or alignment problems that prevent the door from engaging the switch properly.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.

Dave for Model Number 79640272900

Our Kenmore (LG) washer (79640272900) way overloaded. It stopped at some point during that overloaded cycle and now there are no lights and I cannot turn the washer on. I have verified that the outlet has good power. After much Googling, I've tried that "unplug it, press the power button for 5 seconds, then press the start button for 5 seconds and plug it back in" bit, but that did nothing. I have seen many sites indicate the no power issue is usually caused by a bad Door Lock Switch Assembly. Some others say it is usually the Noise Filter Assembly. I know you there at APP have both of those parts, but I wanted to ask which you thought I should try first. I have not opened the washer up and measured voltages yet, I am actually hoping it is the door lock. Any thoughts are appreciated and thank you for your time. Stay Safe! - Dave

Answer

Dave, it is recommended that the main control is tested for 120VAC at the connection YL2 from the red wire to the blue wire (there should be a red LED illuminated if there is 120VAC). If there is 120VAC, the next step would be to test at the connections NA4 pin 3 red wire (black meter probe) to pin 4 orange wire (red meter probe) for 12VDC after pushing the power on button. From there, the red meter probe will be moved to pin 5 yellow wire and there should be a 5VDC reading. If the voltages measure accurately, the display control has failed. If there is not voltage, the main control has failed or there is a break in the wires (wires can be tested for continuity). If there was not 120VAC going to the main control, the next step would be to test the noise filter for incoming and outgoing 120VAC. If there is incoming voltage but not outgoing, the noise filter 6201EC1006T has failed. Unfortunately, if the display EBR62280701, or main control EBR62545101 have failed, they have been discontinued by the manufacturer and are no longer available.
