Customer Questions and Answers for Magnetic Door Plunger by Lg

The Magnetic Door Plunger is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is designed to securely hold the door in a closed position during the operation cycle, employing a magnet mechanism for enhanced reliability. The plunger ensures that the door latch is properly engaged, preventing the machine from running if the door is not closed correctly.

Causes of a bad Magnetic Door Plunger can include wear and tear from constant use, failure of the magnetic mechanism due to exposure to moisture or mechanical damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from closing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Magnetic Door Plunger include:

• The washing machine door not staying closed during cycles.
• The machine failing to start due to a door sensor not detecting closure.
• Random pausing of the machine during operation if the door unlatches.

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
