How to Troubleshoot & Replace Samsung AP6027082 / DC64-00519D Washer Door Lock Switch

First I took off the spring loaded wire ring holding down the seal to the door with needle nose pliers. Pulled back the seal. Removed the 3 screws holding the part on the front of the washing machine. Slid the piece out. Took the protector guard off the off piece and unplug the wires. Put the wires into new part. Put the protector on the new part. Slid the part back into place. Screwed it back in. Put the seal back on. Put the wire spring loaded ring back around the seal. Total time 15 minutes and I am a complete novice. I had never repaired a washing machine before. 

I removed the wire and rubber seal in order to get to the door lacth then I unscrewed the three screws popped out the latch put the screws and the rubber and wire back and tested the washer. The door now locks and I can wash again...YEPPPPY 

Unplug washer Removed tub seal retaining wire with needle nose pliers. Pull back tub seal on right side only to access door lock switch assembly. Unscrew three screws for door lock switch and remove. Unsnap switch from switch bracket. Remove three wires from switch. Connect wires to new door switch, re-install in bracket, re-install in washer, securing with three screws. Replace tub seal over lip and double check for tight seal. Re-install tub seal spring. Wash clothes. 

Installed new latch 

I installed the part that I received quickly from Appliance Parts Pros. I removed part of the rubber seal and the 3 screws holding the door locking system in. I unplugged it and attached the new system. I put everything back in place and everything is working fine. It took about 15 minutes. 

Found video by appliancepartspros. Had seen videos before by others. Not easy to follow. Your video was idiot proof. Made everything very clear. Liked hint of using locking pliers to grab spring. I hope I would have thought of that myself, but maybe not before busting a knuckle. Washer works perfectly now, better than when it was new. Samsung washer door lock did not always work since new. 

First I found the part on here and then I found the how to do it vodeo on here and watched it. The video made it real easy with step be step instructions. 

I removed the wire loop that holds the door gasket in place and exposed the door lock. took out old door lock and replaced it with new lock. Job took less than 10 minutes. 

Had a professional come in and take out broken part and replace with one ordered 

First went to parts manuals. Detail was poor, I ordered wrong parts. Then went to Maintenance instructions and found tutorials on exactly how to fix my problem. Ordered switch and had it fixed in 15 minutes.
