The Door Lock is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part securely locks the washer door during operation. This safety feature prevents the door from being opened while the washer is running, thereby avoiding water spillage and ensuring that the washing cycle can proceed without interruption.
Causes of a bad Door Lock can include electrical failures, mechanical wear and tear, and damage from forced attempts to open the door while it is locked.
Symptoms of a bad Door Lock include:
- The washer door not locking or unlocking properly
- The washing machine failing to start its cycle due to the door not being recognized as closed
- An error code indicating a door lock malfunction displayed on the washer
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
