Customer Questions and Answers for Washer Door Lock Switch Assembly by Whirlpool

Charlie, here's the instructions for replacing the door switch assembly. Remember to unplug the power cord first. Access to the door switch requires that the waterseal boot be removed from the front of the washer.Use a flat bladed screwdriver at the location of the retainer spring and pull the retainer forward and then off the perimeter of the boot.Ease the edge of the boot off of the lip of the washer front near the door switch. Remove enough of the boot to gain access to the door switch behind the washer front panel.The door switch is secured to the washer front panel with three screws. Once these screws are removed, the door switch will remain in place until it is lifted slightly and pulled back from the washer front panel. Reverse procedure and test for operation. We hope this helps. Good Luck.
