Kenmore / Sears Trash Compactor Parts

This door lock latch assembly secures the washer door during operation so cycles can run safely and water stays contained. It replaces a worn or damaged latch to restore proper door locking and cycle start. What it does

• Secures and locks the washer door during wash and spin cycles so the appliance can operate normally.
• Triggers the door-closed sensor/switch that allows the washer to start and continue a cycle.
• Helps prevent accidental door opening and reduces the risk of leaks during operation.
• Common symptoms indicating this part may be needed: washer won't start, door won't latch or lock, or the latch feels loose or broken.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the door lock latch.
• Handle the door and glass carefully to avoid damage; align the latch with the strike before tightening fasteners.
• After installation, test a short cycle (no clothes) to ensure the door locks and the washer starts properly.
