The Door Switch is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is responsible for detecting whether the washer door is securely closed or open. The door switch ensures that the washer operates only when the door is properly closed and latched.

A bad washer door switch can occur due to wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage. If the door switch fails, it can prevent the washer from starting or cause it to stop mid-cycle, resulting in inconvenience and disruption to your laundry routine.

Symptoms of a bad washer door switch include:

  • Washer not starting or powering on.
  • Washer not completing cycles or stopping abruptly.
  • Inability to lock or unlock the washer door.

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.

Questions & Answers

For Lg Door Switch (Part Number: OEM17016471)

Rollins, If there is 120 vac to the door lock and you are getting this error code with a new lock, this would most likely be a board that is not reading the door lock switch being closed and the board would need to be replaced.

Helen for Model Number 79641162410

I have a Kenmore connect washer that isn't draining. I cleaned the drain filter. I took the drain pump out and checked for clogs. None were found. I tested wiring going to pump both were functioning. I tested receptors at the pump and they also are functioning. The pump comes on with a low hum but the washer never empties at all and just goes back and forth as it does in rinse cycle until error code OE kicks on. I read that it could be a bad door switch that is causing it to not drain. Is this correct? The door does go into the lock position, however, when this problem first started there was a buzz like sound when it went to lock. No longer a sound noted and the door does go into the lock position.

Helen, as the drain pump can be heard attempting to operate, it is likely that there would be either a clog in the tub to pump hose 4738ER1002A, the drain hose, or the impeller of the drain pump motor 4681EA2001T could be stripped out. The drain pump can be tested for 120VAC at the main control during a drain and spin cycle by testing at the blue connector with a black wire and a brown wire. While testing from one wire to the other in a drain and spin cycle, there should be 120VAC. If there is, the door lock is not impacting the drain pump and this would indicate the pump as failing.

Walter, the coin catch filter will need to be inspected for any clogs as this is common to build up lint and such over time. The wires going to the drain pump should also be inspected for any loose connections as well as any damaged wires. If that checks good, the hose going from the tub to the pump as well as the ports should be inspected for any clogs. The door lock switch can be tested from the red wire terminal as the common to the blue wire terminal and the orange wire terminal directly to the side of the blue.

Darin, the door latch hook will need to be inspected to ensure that the tension spring is allowing the latch hook to actuate. If the door latch hook does not actuate, it will cause the door lock to not engage and the door assembly ADC74154906 would need to be replaced. If the door latch hook does actuate, then you will want to inspect the wiring from the door lock EBF61315802 to the main control EBR78534503 for any loose connections or broken wires.
