Dawn July 31, 2014 for Model Number GHW9460PL0 When the door is closed and washer is set to start it displays a F/DL code which seems to be the door latch mechanism the problem is it then starts clicking and locks but does not let you open the door again I have to unplug it for several days and by chance, it sometimes opens and sometimes not. How do I get it open when it remains locked? I need to replace the latch but can't get the door open.
1 Answer Hello Dawn, You can remove the main top OR the kick panel to access the back of the main front panel where the door latch is located. If you look at the picture of the part, you can see that one end has a loop made on it. Pull this loop toward the floor and pull on the door to open it. Read More...
Christine D July 08, 2014 for Model Number WF350ANW/XAA My door won't lock or close all the way. Samsung tech told me it is the latch. A repairman came out today with the wrong year model part. It's the white plastic squarish part on the washer itself that the door latch goes into. Is the Door lock latch assembly the correct part? Repairman says it is the inside part that wire assembly goes into.
1 Answer Christine, The door switch assembly that your unit would need is part number DC34-00024B. Read More...

Ben June 18, 2014 for Model Number maytag mfw9800tq0 I have been getting a random F11 error for the last few months, All the wires and connections seem fine, but my last load ended during a spin cycle (whole thing rocks and vibrates a great deal) with a F11 and DL error. Now I get a DL error on any start attempt. I hear the door lock and it is locked but the washer keeps trying to lock the door until it errors out. I have read conflicting advice about trying a door lock switch or a cpu. What advice do you give?
1 Answer Hello Ben, The door lock mechanism is comprised of more than one switch and a solenoid. You must be aware that if the door is locking but you still get the DL code, the other internal switch that tells the control that the door is closed and locked can be bad. In this case the control does not recognize that the door is closed and the unit will pop the code signifying that the door is not locking. I would replace the door lock assembly WP8182634.

Ttass June 15, 2014 for Model Number ghw9300pw4 How to troubleshoot door latch assembly and easiest way to remove same. THANKS.
1 Answer Ttass, You will want to test the Door lock solenoid from pins 2 to 3 and 3 to 1 and should read 60 ohms on either of them. Then you will want to test the switches. From pin 5 to 4 with the door locked should read 0 ohms as well as pins 2 to 1. If the door does not lock then the door lock is most likely the issue and you would want to replaced. The easiest way to replace the door latch is by removing the spring around the door and pushing the door boot inward so that you can get ahold of the latch. Read More...
Bryan June 14, 2014 for Model Number ghw9100lw The small plastic pin on my door latch assembly has broken (this pin must be depressed or the washer won't start since the washer thinks the door is open.) Presently it falls out when I open the door so I must find it and then position it in place to be able to run a load. Is there any way to just replace that pin or do I have to replace the entire door latch assembly?
1 Answer Hello Bryan, Since the door switch assembly is not a serviceable component, the assembly WP8182634 will have to be replaced. Read More...
David H April 27, 2014 for Model Number WF431ABPXAA04 The front loading door will not latch, after inspection it appears the receiver for the latch is broken (the female part and it is plastic). Do you have a part to replace it? If so, is there a reference I can look at to know how to replace it? Thanks. D
1 Answer David, The part that you would need is the door latch assembly part number DC64-00519B. To replace the switch, the easiest way is to remove the spring round the door opening and release the door boot. Push the boot inward and remove the screws for the switch. This will allow you to pull the switch out the front. Disconnect the wires and connect to the new switch and reinstall. Read More...
