Parts for Lg LMA1180ST: Door Parts

This replacement latch secures the appliance door or lid so it closes and engages reliably, helping the unit run and maintain proper operation. Ideal when the door won't stay shut or the appliance won't start. What it does:

• Secures the door/lid to the cabinet so the appliance can close properly
• Engages with the strike/keep to allow door-switch or lock mechanisms to operate
• Helps prevent leaks and heat loss caused by a door that won't seal
• Common symptom: appliance won't start or won't complete a cycle because the door fails to engage

• One latch

• Disconnect power (and water for washers) before starting any work
• Remove the access panel or door trim to reach the latch; use basic hand tools
• Check and adjust door alignment so the latch and strike meet squarely
• Test the door operation and run a short cycle to ensure reliable engagement
