How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6011817 / WP8182634 Washer Door Lock Switch Assembly

The repair went smoothly thanks to the videos that Appliancepartspros provided. Tools needed were needle nose pliers and a #20 torx driver. The job took me about 1-1/2 hours just because I do not have experience. Next time it won't take as long. I estimate it might take someone with experience about an hour. 

Followed the video instructions. 

Replaced washer door lock assembly. 

After watching the repair video on appliance parts pro, it was a breeze! All I needed was a screwdriver. Without the video, I wouldn’t have had any idea what to do. Thanks, guys! 

I followed your detailed video, without the video I probably would have tried to take the front off the machine and spend half a day, instead, I spent about 10 minutes fixing it. Thank you for the support videos 

I watched the YouTube how to video by AppliancePartsPros.com. Once I received my part, I played the how to again while I changed it out. Was done in 15 minutes. Very easy. Perfect direction. And I didn't have to pay anyone to do it for me. Thanks!! 

Initially, I used a cut toothpick and stabilized it with a glue stick. It worked but realized I should fix it properly. Found the tiny black door switch on the floor, not sure why it broke off for the 2nd time and glued it in. It worked but it was only a matter of time before it fell off again. So I ordered the part and had it replaced and now all working fine. The Fluff & Fold is open for business again! 

Replaced parts and solved the problem. Parts work great. 

Watched Matt's video 3 times and made the repair. Very easy. The hardest part was getting the seal to reset enough to replace the wire that holds it securely to the washer. 

I purchased a lock actuator through your website. Your website was extremely easy to navigate through, and the "how to repair video" that you had posted with a part made the repair extremely easy! Thanks so much, you saved me hundreds of dollars. ??
