Questions & Answers

For Samsung Washer Door Lock Switch (Part Number: OEM18081255)

1 Answer

Hello Tim, thank you for contacting APP,

It is possible that the unit is not seeing the tub as having stopped or being properly empty of water, thus preventing the door from unlocking. The 1st thing I would recommend to try is running the Self-Clean+ cycle located on the right-hand side of the display, this will flush the pressure and drain systems to remove any detergent residue and/or other debris that has built-up in the system, I would also recommend to add about 2 cups of White Vinegar to the unit before you run the Self-Clean+ cycle to aid in removing any detergent residue. If the issue continues after running this cycle I would recommend to have the Diagnostic Mode run, and the system checked for any error codes that may have been generated due to the issue.

Steven for Model Number wf45k6500av/a2

I have a Samsung washer model: wf45k6500av/a2. I am getting error DC3 which points to the door lock switch being the issue. I replaced it with part DC64-00519D and it worked for about 5 wash cycles. Now I am getting error DC3 again. My question is, is there something that might cause the switch assembly to go bad? Like the computer panel causing a short? Any other parts I should also test/replace along with the switch assembly? Thanks in advance.

1 Answer

Steven,
The DC3 error code can be any of the following:
1. The Door lock switch terminal is connected incorrectly.
2. The Door lock switch terminal is broken.
3. This occurs intermittently because of an electric wire leakage. (shorted or broken)
4. A main PCB fault.
Using a multimeter check the switch and the wiring. If both check good then you could have a PCB failure.

Eyad, as the original part number is DC64-00519D it is recommended that the latch is used. The use of an alternative such as the switch assembly DC64-00519B can not be guaranteed to work properly.

Steve,

It would be recommended to get the tech sheet from inside the unit and see if there are any error codes stored. This will guide you to what may be going on with the unit.

Mike,

If you take the top of the washer off you can reach to the bottom of the latch assembly and there will be a tab you pull down on to get the latch unlocked.
