Customer Questions and Answers for Door Switch Assembly by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18035460
Manufacturer Part Number: WP8182634

The Door Switch Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This assembly detects whether the washer door is open or closed, allowing the machine to start or stop the washing cycle accordingly.

Causes of a bad door switch assembly can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from forceful closing of the door, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning switch can prevent the washer from recognizing a closed door, thus hindering the start of the wash cycle or causing it to stop unexpectedly.

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch Assembly include:

  • Washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
  • Error codes indicating door issues
  • Washer not spinning or agitating
  • Door lock mechanism not engaging or disengaging properly

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Robert for Model Number GHW9400PW0

Duet clothes washer--I have replaced the door latch locking assembly and the machine started perfectly and ran through the cycle til completion. Took out load and reloaded and door locking assembly didn't have the loud click of locking and the DL code came on again. Could the door be sagging alittle and broke the new assembly again or is something overheating and not allowing enough voltage until it cools down?? When I replaced the assmbly and turned it on it sounded real loud and crisp and locked perfectly. Could the contacts in the control panel be burnt or worn out???

Answer

Robert, Yes, you want to check and make sure the door is aligned to the opening properly, and also make sure the door strike WP8181651 on the door is properly aligned and enterring the latch oprning with no resistance. I would not expect the new latch assembly to overheat or be broken at this time but you do need to check both the latch assembly and the CCU wires and connections. Thanks and Good Luck
