William B. October 13, 2017 I purchased part 131763255. Since I already have the door lock, can I purchase the wiring harness and installation instructions that go with the upgraded door lock/latch?

Bruno June 04, 2015 for Model Number FWT445GES0 The door latch isn't closing the door tight and the washer won't run unless I lean against the door. I ordered the part that was listed in the Frigidaire web page, 131763202. When I took the washer apart the part in my washer had 3 clip on wires that attached to the door latch and this part has 3 plugs to be attached to the latch. I looked further and saw that there was a part #1375234400 that looked very similar except it has a bunch of wires that come with it. Is that the part I need? Will the part I purchased work if I had that set of wires? where can I buy those wires if the door latcvh I purchased will work? Thanks Bruno

Darryl G January 10, 2013 for Model Number 417-39022891 We are trying to get a door switch part #131888900. No longer available. Hard to believe one would throw away a good washer for a small switch. It looks like there may be a cross reference part. I can't figure out how to use the guide. Can you help. Repair man is sitting with me. If the part exist how hard is it to reconfigure?
1 Answer Hello Darryl, Based on the model number listed the lock and latch assembly is part number 131763256 which does show as an available part. Read More...
Julie July 29, 2011 for Model Number FWT449GFSO Okay, one last question before I order this..... do the wires detach from the door lock assembly, so I can just replace the assmebly itself and not all the wires? Or is this one piece and i have to mess with all the wiring, instead of just plugging the existing wires in to the new door lock assembly. You guys have been a great help to me!!
1 Answer Julie, Sorry, but yes, you'll need to replace all the components. The assembly has been re configured by the manufacturer. It's still going to be easy, just follow the instructions and you'll do fine. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Julie July 29, 2011 for Model Number FWT449GFSO Hello, How do I access the door latch assembly in my front loader washer to replace it? I read the question above, but the link in the response is for appliance repair people only. Thank you, Julie
1 Answer Hello Julie. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Disconnect the electrical supply. Remove the top panel and the front service panel. Reaching in from the top, unplug the wires going to the door lock switch 137523400. Reach up from the bottom and hold the switch while removing the screws holding it in place. Then drop the switch down out of the bottom. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
Julie July 26, 2011 for Model Number FWT449GFSO Hello, I just asked a question regard the latch and found you had already provided a part number. My washer is going through all parts of the cycle, but it does not go through the spin cycle. I have read that the latch and the latch assembly is possibly the problem. Is this true?
1 Answer Hello Julie. Yes, if the lock assembly 137523400 is bad, the unit will not go into the spin cycle. Hope this helps. Read More...
