John R Temple , TX January 14, 2015 Appliance: Model ELECTROLUX EIFLW55HIWO Door latch on electrolux front load washer broke not allowing door to lock model eiflw55hiwo Part of door latch broke off in the locking mechanisms which is located in the machine body. Remove the plastic ring by removing a locking spacer which is by the door hinge and held in place by one screw. After you remove the locking spacer, you can turn the ring by twisting it counterclockwise allowing it to come loose from the machine. I had to remove the locking device in the machine by removing the two screws and pulling the locking device from the machine and removed the broken peace of the door latch. I took the electrical connector from the locking mechanism so I could work on getting the broke peace out. Make sure you have the locking device in the proper position so that when you replace the door latch and close the door that it locks, if not, you will be removing the locking mechanism again(as I did) till you have the lock with the locking tabs open to accept the door latch allowing the door to close properly and lock as it must to allow the machine to operate. If you do not get it repaired properly you will get a message on the display to call service. I got this, but I removed the locking device and got the locking tabs properly positioned which allow the door to lock and the machine to operate.

Ashlee J Longview , TX April 14, 2017 Appliance: Model EWFLW65HTSO Electrolux washing machine door would not open after door was shut or wash the clothes Door would not lock in place.

Ordered new parts and watched Utube videos to figure it out Read More... 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

Raymond F Creamery , PA June 17, 2022 The washer door broke I surprised myself. Instead of calling a handyman and paying $300-$500, my girl and I looked it up on YouTube and saw your ad. Your website was great and we found the part. We watched the video and took the piece off the door. We matched the broken piece on your website. $50 later and about a week and I got the part. I replaced it in a couple minutes and the washer works now. Thank you for the video and thank you for your ad. I just saved about $350. Thanks again.

Richard R Bluefield , VA July 29, 2021 Broken door latch I ordered a direct factory replacement part and if fit perfectly and was simple to install. The delivery was a little funky. The shipment was received at the FedEx location in Charlotte, NC (about 2 hours from me) on a Friday. On Saturday I got a pending delivery email and waited all day for it to arrive. It never did and the tracking info said it was returned to the FedEx starting point. Sunday the tracking said it left the station about 2:30AM. Again no delivery and finally tracking said it was delivered to my local FedEx distribution point and the package was delivered Monday, No problem just weird.

Randy C St Cloud , FL February 02, 2018 Appliance: Model EFIWL50FIW0 The cover that holds the strike assembly was broke into two pieces and the plastic that holds the strike was also broke I looked at the diagram for my model, found the strike assembly then determined what piece held the strike assembly in place. Then determined that it was the correct piece. I ordered the items needed then I received the two items and made the necessary repairs. I called a service man before I ordered the pieces and he quoted a price of $375.00 of parts and labor. I felt I was severely being over charged, the parts I received from your company cost me a total of $54.73 includes shipping.
