Whirlpool Washer GHW9100LW2 Won't start or doesn't start

The Door Switch Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This assembly detects whether the washer door is open or closed, allowing the machine to start or stop the washing cycle accordingly.

Causes of a bad door switch assembly can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage from forceful closing of the door, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning switch can prevent the washer from recognizing a closed door, thus hindering the start of the wash cycle or causing it to stop unexpectedly.

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch Assembly include:

• Washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle
• Error codes indicating door issues
• Washer not spinning or agitating
• Door lock mechanism not engaging or disengaging properly

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

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. 

The Start Button is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This button is located on the control panel and is essential for initiating the wash cycle. When pressed, it sends a signal to the machine's control board to begin the selected washing program.

Causes of a bad start button can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical issues within the button mechanism, or physical damage from impacts or spills. A malfunctioning start button can prevent the washing machine from starting or responding to user inputs.

Symptoms of a bad start button include:

• The washing machine not starting when the button is pressed
• The button feeling loose or unresponsive
• Intermittent starting or stopping of wash cycles
• The button sticking or not depressing properly
