By: Whirlpool

Part Number: OEM18053739

Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10253483

The Door Latch Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is designed to secure the washer door during operation, ensuring it remains closed and locked. This assembly is crucial for the safe and effective operation of the washing machine, preventing the door from opening mid-cycle, which could result in water leaks and interruptions.

You should replace the door latch assembly if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad door latch assembly can include regular wear and tear, damage from forceful closing or opening, or electrical issues within the latch mechanism. A malfunctioning door latch can prevent the washer from operating correctly.

Symptoms of a bad door latch assembly include:

The washer door not latching or locking properly
The washing machine not starting or stopping mid-cycle
Error codes related to door lock issues
Difficulty in opening or closing the door

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Door Latch Assembly (Part Number: OEM18053739)

Rlph May 18, 2015 for Model Number 110.47089600

After having severe lightening in the area, the washer and dryer will not operate. Getting an Error code of F22 on the washer. Door does not lock. Dryer tub light comes on when door is open, but nothing happens.

1 Answer

Ralph, The F22 error code is a door lock error. You will want to check to make sure that there is power going to the door lock from the control board and if there is then replace the door lock assembly and if there is not then replace the control board. For the dryer you will want to test the thermal fuse to make sure that it has not blown, which would be the most likely cause for this issue.

Jenny January 24, 2015 for Model Number WFW9250WW00

My washer drain pump had quit working, I have replaced the pump and now the washer will not work, as soon as you turn it on a cycle it flashes e1 f1. The information I have looked at says the door latch or the computer board, any way to narrow it down or reset the board. everything seemed to be working okay until it quit draining.

1 Answer

Jenny, Based on the error code, the F1 E1 error is a pump driver/main relay/EEPROM error. You will want to check to make sure that the power cord is not loose which would cause line interference and could cause the issue. Make sure that the washer is on a designated circuit. Make sure that the wire harness connections to the main board are not broken or detached Make sure all green ground wires are not broken or detached. Make sure that the 2 ground switches are pressed properly by the toe and rear panels. Make sure that all connectors are fully seated. If all this checks ok then most likely the control board has failed.

Lila January 07, 2015 for Model Number I have a whirlpool washer model MWFW9550XE00

I have a whirlpool washer model MWFW9550XE00. Brand Error F 73. What technical failure mean?

1 Answer

Lila, The F73 error code is not a valid code for this model. With this error code it would be a corrupted board and you would need to replace the main control board.

Irene December 18, 2014 for Model Number WFW8300SW0

Machine giving code F22. Door locked and can not open so took of front panel to open door manually. Now still code flash F22 and door will not lock and can not use washer, tried manual diagnostic test but will go back to F22. Can it just be the door latch assembly?

1 Answer

Irene, The door lock could very well be the issue with the unit giving the f22 error code. You will want to check the connections at the control board and door lock to make sure that they are not corroded and have a good connection. If this checks ok then the door lock would most likely be the cause of failure.

Sol December 18, 2014 for Model Number 110.47512602

This problem involves a Kenmore HE2Plus front loading washing machine, model 110.47512602. When a cycle is started, the Status lights for Add a Garment and Door Locked are lit. The door is locked, but pressing the Stop button to unlock it doesn't do so. No cycle is run. Only way to unlock the door is to pull on the mechanical release tab inside the cabinet below the door latch. Any idea which parts would likely be bad to cause this?

1 Answer

Hello Sol. If the door locks, but does not unlock, and the unit is trying to unlock the door, you will need to order and replace the door lock assembly WPW10253483 on the unit.

David December 17, 2014 for Model Number MHWE251YL00

Washer does not spin out but does drain.

1 Answer

Hello David. Test the motor in the unit. 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and 1 to 3 should read around 6 ohms. If not, then the motor is bad and will need to be replaced. If the motor is good, then the board is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Jacob N August 05, 2014 for Model Number WFW9150WW01

We have been battling with this for a while now. Long story short, we have replaced the drain pump, CCU, and cold water valve inlet and nothing has worked. Going back to the what was causing the problem is the locking mechanism. The manual for our Whirlpool Duet states that at the onset of a cycle, the door lock "will lock, unlock, and lock again" and this is "normal." Currently, the door locks and gets stuck (no cycle will start) and the door will not open (via restart/add a garment) unless the manual string is pulled. If I unplug the machine and plug it back in fairly quickly, this seems to bypass something where the water fills but this is as far as the machine will advance. Drain pump works because the machine will drain if I change the cycles from hot to cold or vice versa. So the question I have is: is this piece the most likely culprit causing the cycle from occurring? Is there something else that could be causing this that I am overlooking?

1 Answer

Jacob, With what has already been done with the unit and the door locking but not unlocking, the problem with the unit would come down to a faulty door latch assembly.

Brenda July 23, 2014 for Model Number mhwe301yw

I broke my control lock in a fist of rage.....slamming the door closed too many times and broke off a piece that anchors the screw to the latch assembly. Will this part be compatible? It's a discontinued washer.

1 Answer

Hello Brenda! Yes, the latch WPW10253483 is the correct replacement and will work on your model MHWE301YW. Thanks!

Kevin S May 17, 2014 for Model Number WFW9151W00

My WFW9151W00 shows a code F5 and E2 about 5 seconds after I push start. The door doesn't lock and no water runs and I hear no click. Should I replace the door lock first?

1 Answer

Kevin, Before just replacing the lock assembly you will want to check to see if there is any physical damage to the lock assembly. Check the wire connections from the door lock and the Control board do not have corrosion that could keep them from making good contact. If so then try cleaning with a contact cleaner. If they check ok then make sure that they are properly seated. Check the continuity of the harness. If the continuity test fails then the harness would need to be replaced. If it checks ok then you would want to replace the lock assembly.
