Frigidaire Washer Latch, Catch, Lock Parts

The Front Loading Washer Door Lock and Switch Assembly is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. This component ensures that the washer door is securely locked during operation, preventing leaks and interruptions, and also communicates with the control board to allow the wash cycle to start.

Causes of a bad door lock and switch assembly can include wear and tear from regular use, damage from forced door opening, electrical failures within the locking mechanism, or issues with the switch contacts.

Symptoms of a bad door lock and switch assembly include:

• The washer door not locking or unlocking properly
• Error codes related to the door lock
• The washer not starting its cycle
• Interruptions in the wash cycle due to door lock failures

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Door Strike is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. It is a critical component that interacts with the door latch, securing the washing machine door during operation. This ensures that the door remains closed and locked throughout the washing cycle, preventing water leaks and maintaining the safety and integrity of the appliance. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Strike include:

• The washing machine door not closing or locking properly,
• The washer not starting due to the door not registering as closed,
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the strike, such as cracking or deformation.

Causes of door strike failure typically involve physical damage from forceful closing of the washer door, general wear from repeated use, or material fatigue.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Drawer Latch is an OEM part for Frigidaire pedestals. This latch closes storage or pedestal drawers in the base. It creates a tight seal around each drawer, protecting contents from dust and spills.

Issues tend to arise from normal wear over years of use. Drawers opening and closing put stress on latches. Nearby laundry vibrations may also contribute.

Symptoms of a problematic pedestal drawer latch include:

• Drawers that do not fully latch or do not stay closed properly
• Gaps that allow debris or moisture to enter the storage compartments
• Loose or misaligned drawers that are difficult to open and close

This Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore ranges.

This washer door lock secures the door closed and communicates locked status to the control so cycles can run safely. Replacing a failed lock restores proper latching and may resolve no-start, spin, or door/lock error issues.

• Locks the door at the start of the cycle to prevent opening during wash and spin
• Signals the control when the door is closed and locked
• Releases the door at the end of the cycle
• Common symptoms: won't start, door won't lock/unlock, intermittent pauses, door/lock error message

• Unplug the washer before servicing
• Access the lock from the front; remove the door gasket clamp and mounting screws (procedure varies by model)
• Transfer wires to the new lock one connector at a time; do not force terminals
• Verify the door striker engages smoothly and test an empty cycle before full use

The Lid Lock Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire washing machines. This switch is responsible for ensuring the lid is securely locked during the wash and spin cycles, preventing the lid from being opened and ensuring safe operation of the machine.

Causes of a bad lid lock switch can include electrical failures, wear and tear from frequent use, or damage due to impact or mishandling.  

Symptoms of a bad lid lock switch include:

• The washing machine not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• The lid not locking or unlocking as expected
• Error codes related to the lid lock mechanism
• Unusual noises during the wash or spin cycles

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This door strike mounts on the appliance door and engages the latch/lock to keep the door securely closed so the cycle can start. Replace a worn or broken strike to restore reliable door closure and operation.

• Engages the door latch/lock assembly to secure the door during use
• Enables the control to recognize a closed door so the unit can run
• Wear or damage can cause a door that won't close, "door open" errors, or a unit that won't start

• Open the door, remove fasteners, and note the original strike orientation
• Install the new strike and tighten screws without overtightening
• Close the door to confirm a positive latch; adjust hinge/latch alignment if needed

This lid strike mounts to the washer lid and engages the lid lock/switch when the lid is closed. It signals the control that the lid is shut so the cycle can start and spin safely without interruption.

• Unplug the washer before servicing
• Open the lid and remove the damaged strike from the lid (retain any screws if present)
• Align and secure the new strike; ensure it lines up with the lid lock opening
• Close the lid to verify smooth engagement before restoring power
