Customized screw and washer assembly.

This locker assembly secures the washer door and completes the latch housing so cycles can run safely. Replacing a worn or damaged locker helps restore proper door closure and reliable start/stop operation. What it does:

• Secures and aligns the washer door/boot so the machine can operate without the door opening during a cycle.
• Engages the door latching mechanism so the washer can detect a closed door and start.
• Replaces a damaged or cracked lock housing that can prevent the door from staying closed.
• Common symptoms this part can address: washer won't start, door won't latch or stays open, or the door pops open during a cycle.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Basic hand tools are typically required; follow the OEM service manual for panel and door removal.
• Handle door glass and trim carefully to avoid damage; transfer any mounting brackets or strike plates only if needed.
• After installation, restore power and run a short test cycle to verify the door latches and the washer starts normally.
