George for Model Number GHW9150pw2 The door will not latch on my whirlpool front end washer. What do I need to look at in order to determine what is wrong?
Answer Hello George. You will need to check and see if the door catch is broke or if the door switch assembly WP8182634 is broke. If you close the door, and it does not latch, and the door catch is not broke, you will need to replace the door switch assembly. If the door closes, but does not lock, check and make sure all the wires and connections on the latch and the board are good on the unit. If there are no bad wires on the unit, test the two pink wires coming to the assembly for voltage. If it is there, replace the switch. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
