The Lock is an OEM replacement part for Bosch front-loading washers. Securing mechanisms through customized openings prevents loads from rolling freely during spinning, maintaining optimal programmed processes. Reliable retention enhances cleaning consistency.

Causes of a bad lock can involve deterioration of locking pawls or supporting rails over many cycles of engaging and disengaging weekly. Protruding lock parts also risk impact damage from overfilled loads.

Symptoms of a bad lock include: 

  • Inability to prevent tub contents from spinning unrestrained   
  • Loose articles migrating from their intended placement within  
  • Door failures to lock closed fully during active cycles
  • Premature component wear transferring vibrations to cabinetry

This OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and some Kenmore models.

Corinne for Model Number wfmc8400uc15781323

Our Bosch washer is a 800 Nexxt series and the door latch got stuck and i had to use a small flat head screwdriver to push open the white button. Now when i try to wash the display panel says ready and then it reads "Check Door" or open door. I opened the top first and tried to reach the locking mechanism but couldn't. So i opened the back panel and still couldn't reach the door opening device, that is when i used the screwdriver. My Question is: What is the step by step process in changing out this lock for this model?? Thank you for your time, Corinne

Corrine, If you take the door boot off from around the door frame then you should be able to get to the door latch assembly to be able to replace it.

The washer seal was changed. The washer was working fine, then I wasn't able to open the door. We had to use the manual leaver to open the door. Next the cycle would finish and the display screen would go back to the original amount of time for the cycle instead of zero and beep to open the door. Now the washer will not work at all. Once the dial is set and I press the start button, the machine beeps three times and will not wash. The door will not open either. Could this be the door latch?

Diane, This issue would sound like it would be cause by the lock assembly but you will want to make sure that the wiring on the lock is not loose.

Hello Donnie. Disconnect the power to the unit. Open the door and remove the front seal spring. Pull the seal back to access the door lock assembly 00497255. Remove fascia panel 00660718 by removing (4) screws (and plastic screw caps). Carefully lay fascia panel out of the way (on top panel). Using a thin tool (e.g. awl or drill bit), push latch on circular drain pump access cover (through small hole in cover), then rotate cover (cw) clockwise to remove it. Disconnect green door lock manual release cable from drain pump (so door lock can be removed). Remove (2) screws holding door lock to front panel. Gently pry out white plastic front shield until it pops off front panel, then slide lock to left until black plastic lock rails clear notch infront frame. Disconnect (3) wire harness connectors from door lock. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
