Mishelle January 10, 2014 for Model Number whirlpool wfw9550wr00 I was washing a load of towels. Right at the drain and spin cycle, I heard a pop, like the door locking sound but a little louder. At this point, I was able to reset the lock and get my towels out which had not spun yet, but when I turned the power back on and picked a cycle and hit the start button the only thing that happened was the door locked and nothing started. At that point none of the buttons worked and the only way to open the door was to keep cutting the power and turning it back on. Any ideas as to what has happened or is it the door mechanism? Please advise, Mishelle
1 Answer Hello Mishelle, NOTE: Washer must be empty and the control must be in the OFF state. 1. Close the door. 2. Select any one key (except “STOP/CANCEL” and “CONTROL LOCK” [EOC]) and follow the steps below, using the same key: Press/hold for 2-5 seconds, release for 2-5 seconds, press/hold for 2-5 seconds, release for 2-5 seconds. press/hold for 2-5 seconds. 3. Upon release, all yellow/green console LED lights will turn ON for 5 seconds. 4. If there are any failure codes stored by the washer, the display shows them. Note: The last four errors will be displayed. 5. Press the same key to advance to the next code. 6. After the indication of error codes, the UI, CCU, and MCU SW version will be displayed. 7. The number of cycles since last clean washer cycle is displayed. 8. All green console LED lights will turn ON for 5 seconds. 9. Next the washer begins the automated diagnostic test. 10. To cancel out of service mode, press the “STOP” button. This is all explained on the units' tech sheet located inside the unit n a plastic bag, usually located affixed to the back of the front access panel. The fault codes are also explained on this sheet. Be sure to put it back so it can be located for the next failure. Read More...
Wmoore December 17, 2013 for Model Number wfw8300sw05 ordered a door latch for outside of washer door. When I got it, installed it but when closed the door, the lights and eveything come on but the washer will not start up. Could it be the inside latch and where do I find it, it will light up but will not operate.
1 Answer WMoore, Yes, the issue could be in the door switch assembly WPW10253483 or wiring. to access the switch "1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Turn off the water supply to the washer. 3. Remove the top cover and the console. 4. Remove the lower front access panel 5. Open the washer door. 6. Using a small screwdriver or a pair of long-nosed pliers, pull the tension spring on the retaining wire out from around the front of the bellows, and remove the wire. 7. To remove the door switch assembly: a) Pull the bellows off the lip of the front panel beside the door switch assembly just enough to access the switch assembly. b) Remove the two T-20 Torx screws from the door switch assembly. c) Pull the door switch assembly out and turn it over so that you can access the connectors. d) Unlock the tabs and disconnect the three wire connectors from the door switch terminals, then remove the assembly."

Chad H December 16, 2013 for Model Number WFW9150WW00 I had to pull the door latch tab to get door open. Now it want operate. Can the latch be fixed or does it need to be replaced, if so how do I get to it?
1 Answer Hello Chad. You may have broken it. If so, replace it. You will disconnect the power and remove the ring around the front of the boot and fold it into the tub. Then you can remove the screws and wires and replace the lock assembly WPW10253483 from inside the panel. Read More...
Frustrated November 11, 2013 for Model Number WFW9250WW00 My washer starts and runs through a cycle normally and thinks the door is locked, but it is not. Never an error message. A big load of towels will push the door open and flood the laundry room. You can pull the door open during any cycle. Any ideas whether it is the latch or electrical? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello. You will need to replace the door lock assembly on the unit and be sure not to over load the unit as well. Read More...
Mike October 02, 2013 for Model Number Amana tandem 7300 Washer I have a issue were I thought it was the door latch mechanism but now my door is locked and I can not open my washer door. My washer just shows the light on "Wash" and keeps beeping.... any help would be appreciated. What would the fix most likely be? How can I get the door open again?
1 Answer Mike, to manually unlock the door latch " 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Remove the lower kick panel. 3. Reach up along the inside of the front and locate the bottom of the door switch/lock unit. 4. Located on the bottom of the door switch/ lock unit is a teardrop shaped tab. 5. Gently pull the tab down about a 1/4" or until a click is heard. 6. The door may be opened." When you remove the lower access panel, you should find the tech data information sheet attached to the back. Use it to program into the diagnostics and test modes, it'll help you to properly diagnose the issue(s) with the washer. Read More...

As it turns out the 3 wire connector that plugs into the door latch has the center wire broken off. I do not see anyway to reconnect it and cannot find a part # to order a new one. Can you give me a part # to order? Thank you Stewart

Tommy June 25, 2013 for Model Number wfw8500sr00 Started with the door latch not working. I press the start button and would hear one click noise coming from the CCU then get the F22 code. I replaced the latch, still didn't work. The wires "appeared" fine I replaced the CCU. I press the start button and get three quick beeps, still no latch lock and no F22 error appearing. It just will not start. I use an ohm meter and get no activity on the latch wire that attaches to DLS2 on the CCU. I get something like 15 on DS2. Can't test the DL3 wire. I'm guessing it is a wire issue going to and from the latch and the CCU. Are there separate wires I can purchase to the latch assembly? Am I at the right repair step?
1 Answer Tommy, You may have to use a couple of needles, pins or small metal paper clips and your meter the conduct the tests at the CCU. First check and make sure the door is closing and sealing properly and it activates the door switch properly. The DS2 connector at the CCU, must "see" the door switch open and close is accordance with the door position, or the washer control will beep and not program etc. The DL3 connector pin #1 to pin #2 must "see" 120 VAC when the door locks, and 120 VAC across pin#2 and pin#3 when the latch unlocks. When the door is locked, the DLS2 connector should have 120 VAC across pin#1 and pin#2 in order to complete the circuit to the other components of the washer. If the wiring is damaged or at fault, the wiring harness W10184856 will need to be replaced or repaired. Read More...
