Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Latch (Part Number: OEM18859893)

1 Answer

Larry, with the power supply cord unplugged, the latch W11188327 would be tested from the main control. Using the wires at connection J6, there should be 35 Ohms of resistance from the wire at pin 2 to the wire at pin 3. With the lock in the unlocked position, there should be continuity from the wire at pin 1 to the wire at pin 4. If the lock is in the locked position, there should be continuity from the wire at pin 1 to the wire at pin 7. The final test would be testing from the wire at pin 1 to the wire at pin 5 and there should be continuity only when the lid is closed. If any of these tests failed, the latch has failed and would need to be replaced.
