How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP4998848 / EBF49827801 Washer Door Lock Switch

Viewed the great repair video, the best I have ever seen. It was very detailed and accurate. Removed old parts and ordered Door Lock Switch and Door Hinge Assembly. Excellent communication and immediate quick shipment. Replaced parts. Functions perfectly again. 

I would start my LG washing machine and a couple of minutes into the cycle it showed a de code. I’d open and close the door again and sometimes it would start up but mostly the de code reappeared. Watched the YouTube video. Very helpful. Ordered a new switch. Replaced it in 5 minutes. Hardest part was pulling the metal around the rubber again. Got an extra person to help and it was done. Phew. Worth doing it yourself and not hard. 

I found the AppliancePartsPros video on YouTube and it made fixing the problem easy. I also ordered the part from them because my local appliance shops did not carry it. 

I googled this error code and found that it's a door lock error so I ordered a new washer door lock switch and followed the video here on how to replace the door lock switch. This was a 15 minute job at most and saved me probably hundreds of dollars by doing the work myself. The hardest part was putting the drum seal clamp back on at the end. There's a video on how to do that as well. 

First off, I unplugged the washer. To access the door latch assembly, I had to peel back the door seal from the front of the washer cabinet near the latch. This required me to remove the seal retaining ring. Once the seal was detached, I removed two Phillips screws located above and below the latch. After that, I pulled out the latch assembly and unplugged it (you need to press on the latch on the connector body). I then swapped in the new latch and plugged it in...took a good amount of pressure to get the connector latch snapped in. The new latch went back in the cabinet, and two Phillips screws were replaced and tightened. The hardest part of the process was getting the retaining ring back on the door seal. Just be careful not to tear the seal. I found that it was easiest to install the ring by starting with the tensioning spring, then working the ring under the seal around to where the latch is. A little jockeying to stretch the spring and I was able to get the ring installed. Plugged the washer back in and ran a quick rinse and spin cycle to verify my work. Repair Is Noble! 

Super easy - remove screws, door gasket spring and simply remove old put on new. The only issue I had was separating the two connectors as my fingers are not strong. *I have to add how excited I was at how quickly my part came! What a blessing. 

Watched a YouTube video and fixed it in about 10 minutes. 

Replaced door lock.Easy diagnosis and easy fix, simply watched a video on YouTube to work out how to do it. 

I had to first loosen the gasket by removing the metal lock ring, then I removed the old door lock switch and installed the new one. I then secure the gasket again and attached the metal lock ring. Its working like new again. 

Part arrived quickly
