Gerard October 26, 2011 for Model Number model nfw7200tw How hard is it to install Part Number: AP4044279? Looking at the diagram it seems to be accessable from the top of the washer.
1 Answer Hello Gerard. These are not hard to install. You will open the door and remove the spring from around the door boot. Once removed, you will pull back the boot and access the lock assembly WP8182634. You will need to remove the screws securing the lock assembly and unplug the wires going to it. Reinstall with the new assembly in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
Rob October 22, 2011 for Model Number GHW9150PW0 Been having a door locking problem were I will start a load of wash and the door will not lock. Now the door will not open and still will not start. How do I get the door open? I saw in a previous question about a tab but I cannot locate it. Thanks
1 Answer Hi Rob. Remove lower panel. Reach behind the front panel and the latch has a white "nickel" size tab hanging from the bottom of the latch. Pull this down to unlock and open door. Latch part # WP8182634. Do not be surprised as you still need a main control board part # WP8182695 if the latch doesn't work altogether. Sometimes a bad latch will open the board also. Thank You.

Hunter September 14, 2011 for Model Number Whirpool duet WFW8300S The washer quit with 1 minute left on timer. Unpluged and pluged back in, put on spin drain, it powers up, door locks but the washer never starts, hit cancel button the add a garment comes on but the door will not unlock. Have a F01 code and a F24 code when I run service history & diagnostic test. When I run the "starting diagnostic test and bypassing the service history mode" all it does is flash the "drain spin" light, again door locks and will not unlock. What part would you suggest.
1 Answer Hello Hunter. Based on the code you provided, it sounds like the CCU is bad and will need to be replaced. We will need your full model number to find the correct part number for you. Thanks. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Momtoboys September 13, 2011 for Model Number 11045872400 I know that my door latch is bad on my machine. I can "tape" the door closed and the cycles will run. I want to order the part and fix it myself. I have read other responses but don't understand how to access the area where the part is located (on the right side of the machine). I'm afraid I will compromise the seal by messing with the rubber ring. Please help! I do not have $300 to spend on a repair! Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Momtoboys. You will need to remove the door boot from the front panel and remove the screws holding the latch assembly in place. Unplug the wires going to the old switch and install them onto the new switch WP8182634. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Edgar. Check and make sure there are no loose connections or broke wires coming to the lock assembly. If they are good, you will need to replace the door lock assembly WP8182634. Hope this helps. Read More...
Gary August 28, 2011 for Model Number mah8700aww The d5 keeps flashing, the machine just beeps and the code flashes. How do we check to see if the door lock part is all we need?

Al August 15, 2011 for Model Number GHW9200LW I have the same problem as the first question. (Door came unlocked in spin cycle). If I purchase a door locking part, is there some sort of installation instuction on how to do this? I'm afraid once I take it apart I won't be able to put it back together.
1 Answer Hi Al. Installation is fairly simple. Remove power. Then open the door. Remove the spring clamp that holds the front lip of the door bellows/boot on the front panel. Remove the rt. side of the door boot, just enough to fold back and your hand to access the door switch. Take the door latch screws off and unhook the elect. connectors. They are really a snap lock type release and pull off. Mark them so you will put them back correctly on the new switch. The latch part # is WP8182634. Thank you. Read More...
Paul M. June 21, 2011 for Model Number whirlpool duet 9100 My machine has stopped in mid spin cycle because the door is open. If i manually hold door closed and restart it will operate until I stop pressing on door. The latch parts look ok, what parts do I need?
1 Answer Hello Paul. If your latch itself appears to be fine, chances are the door lock/switch assembly WP8182634 has failed or come loose. This would prevent the door from locking and would cause your error. I hope this information helps! Read More...
Sandy June 06, 2011 for Model Number GHW9150PW0 - Duet Washer I read Joey's comment about striking the upper rear of the washer when I get an F-DL code (door lock fault). I tried it and my washer started after 4 tries - thanks Joey! Question: Is there a danger (electrical?) if I continue to do this? I've had this problem on and off for over a year and I always hear a faint click in the back like Jon C. Prior to today the washer usually started to work after I walked away for a while and then pushed the start button.
1 Answer Hello Sandy. It is not recommened to do this to the washer. You will need to look for loose or broken wires. If none is found, you will need to replace the control board WP8182695. Hope this helps. Read More...
