Parts for Ge PS920SF3SS: Door Lock Parts

A motorized door latch that secures and releases the appliance door for normal operation, restoring proper door closure and allowing safety interlocks to engage. Replaces a failed or stuck latch to help the appliance operate safely. What it does

• Drives the door latch assembly to lock or release the door during operation.
• Helps restore proper door closure so safety switches/interlocks can engage.
• Common symptom: door won't latch or appliance won't start because the door won't lock.
• Common symptom: door sticks, won't release, or actuator makes noise when cycling.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Access may require removing the appliance door or control panel—use basic hand tools.
• Handle the assembly and door components carefully to avoid damage to seals or wiring.
• Test door operation and door-interlock function after installation; do not force the door.

A silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) used on appliance control boards to regulate power to motors, igniters or other loads. Replacing a faulty SCR can restore proper power switching and steady operation of the driven component. What it does:

• Acts as a power-switching semiconductor in appliance electronic control circuits to allow current flow only when triggered.
• Enables controlled delivery of voltage/current to motors, igniters and similar loads on the control board.
• A failing SCR can cause symptoms such as no power to a motor or igniter, intermittent operation, or complete failure of the driven component.
• Match the SCR package and electrical ratings to the control board before replacing.

• Disconnect all power to the appliance before accessing control electronics to avoid shock or damage.
• Take electrostatic-discharge (ESD) precautions; handle the SCR by its body and avoid touching leads.
• Package orientation and electrical ratings on the control board and wiring before installation.
