It will try to lock it 6 times before displaying the error. Potential Causes > • Door Lock Mechanism broken or removed from the Door • Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly • Check the wire harness connections to the Door Lock/Switch Assembly and Central Control Unit (CCU) • Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure" also check and make sure the strike on the door is mounted properly, not loose and that the door and hinges align to the door opening and operates freely.

Dennis February 16, 2012 for Model Number 11042922201 I need help with installation of front door switch for kenmore he3t
1 Answer Hi Dennis. Remove power. Use a small screwdriver to release the lower spring on the steel band under the outer boot lip. Open the door. Roll the outer boot lip up at the 6:00 position to reveal the spring. Unroll the spring and the band assy. Use a torx-20 screwdriver to remove the outer door latch screws. Roll the tub boot into the inner basket halfway. This will give you side access to replace the door latch part # WP8182634 from here. Make sure the electrical connectors are tight. Thank You.

Joanne January 09, 2012 for Model Number GHW9250MW2 My whirlpool washer was cutting of not making the full cycle. I was told to buy central control unit,put it on have the same problem.Now I was told the door lock needs changing because it has a problem would that solve the problem for the maching to work again. I am confused, the machine is just 5yrs old ?
1 Answer Hi Joane. By your explanation, it does sound like the door latch will be the issue. Part # WP8182634. If the door striker is damaged or not "floating" in position then it is part # WP8181651. Is it giving a fault code of F-DU or F- DL ? There is a tech sheet folded up ion a packet in the cabinet so you can put the unit in a diagnostic mode to assist. you. Are you getting any more fault codes ? Thank You. Read More...
Robert November 19, 2011 for Model Number GHW9400PW0 Duet clothes washer--I have replaced the door latch locking assembly and the machine started perfectly and ran through the cycle til completion. Took out load and reloaded and door locking assembly didn't have the loud click of locking and the DL code came on again. Could the door be sagging alittle and broke the new assembly again or is something overheating and not allowing enough voltage until it cools down?? When I replaced the assmbly and turned it on it sounded real loud and crisp and locked perfectly. Could the contacts in the control panel be burnt or worn out???
1 Answer Robert, Yes, you want to check and make sure the door is aligned to the opening properly, and also make sure the door strike WP8181651 on the door is properly aligned and enterring the latch oprning with no resistance. I would not expect the new latch assembly to overheat or be broken at this time but you do need to check both the latch assembly and the CCU wires and connections. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Eric November 17, 2011 I have replaced the door switch assembly, when I turn washer back on I get where there error code once was. Is there anyway to reset it.

Joe November 14, 2011 for Model Number NFW7200TW The door will not close and lock. It seems like the lock is not open to accept the plastic tip on the door. Don't know if the lock is broken or if it is not receiving a signal to open?
1 Answer Hi Joe. If the door latch is acting this way then you need to replace with the new latch part # WP8182634. However if the door lever (strike) is not floating between the 2- mount screws, then the door will not latch also. Door lever part # WP34001260. The most common repair is to replace these parts and make sure your unit is level front to back and side to side. Lock the nuts on the legs up against the base tight to keep level. Keep the floor clean so the foot pads can grip the floor and not walk around. Thank You. Read More...
