Kitchenaid Washer KHWV01RSS0 Won't start or doesn't start

The Door Strike is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool front-loading washing machines. It is the metal component integrated into the washer cabinet that securely receives and holds the washing machine door shut during cycles. 

Causes of a bad door strike can include normal wear over time. Excessive force on the door or damage to strike mechanics may compromise its integrity.

Symptoms of a failed door strike include:

• Gapping at the door seam permitting water leaks and reduced cleaning 
• Inability to fully latch closed for safety-certified operation
• Loose motion, impact damage, or misaligned connecting pieces  
• Recurring errors involving the door lock mechanism

This is the male piece to the door latch assembly on a front load washer. For the door latch assembly order WP8182634.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore front-load washers.

The Water Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This sensor ensures the water is reaching the proper temperature at each stage of the wash cycle. Note: The sensor does not include the seal WP8540766. Order separately if needed. 

Causes of a bad temperature sensor can be failures over time due to mechanical wear, thermal stress on electronic components, or damage from leaks/flooding inside the unit.

Symptoms of a bad water temperature sensor include:

• Inability to switch between wash steps or advance through the cycle
• Erratic or inconsistent temperature readings
• Failure alarms or error codes displayed
• Improper or incomplete washing even on high heat settings

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