Joseph L Hawthorne , CA April 17, 2015 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WFW9550WW00 Whirlpool duet washer kept stopping at random times with no error codes Did lots of internet research. Narrowed problem down to three things - door lock latch, control unit, and motor control unit. Figured out how to run the diagnostic test program, which showed a F22 (door lock) error. Removed and ohm tested the door lock (pins 1 & 3). Found door lock latch to be defective. ordered new one and installed it. YouTube video helped a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SjU6k5bpSs So far, so good. Have only done a few loads. New door lock latch tested fine.

John K Kapaau , HI January 30, 2015 Door latch system not functioning Read Manuel did diagnostic test found that it was the door latch system. Called repair man who charged me $85 to tell me that it was the same thing and that didn't include the part ($117+ shipping) and labor. Couldn't believe so looked on line for part found your website which not only had the part $69 but had video on how to change it. Saved me a lot of time and money.

John P San Tan Valley , AZ August 04, 2014 Appliance: Model 110.87089600 Door latch on kenmore elite 5t washer I saw a number of videos on how to so this but only one that almost matched my machine. My replacement latch had a black button. What I did was to remove the metal ring with the spring that holds the big rubber gasket and pry the gasket away from the area of the latch. Unscrewed the old latch and disconnected the three wires that were plugged into it.Then came the hard part. The wires on the harness are VERY short and it was very difficult to connect to the new latch. Took a bit but finally got them all plugged in and screwed the latch back on and put the wire ring back on the gasket.

Anthony M Fort Myers , FL May 15, 2017 Door switch and latch I originally thought it was the door latch because it was broken so I replaced that. After replacing that it still didn't work. Apparently the electronic lock had malfunctioned breaking the latch. After both were replaced all was golden. Now to catch up and two weeks of laundry for a family of five. I'm pretty handy being in the construction industry but the wire ring holding the rubber boot gave me a fit. That's my next repair btw. I notices when I pulled it off the boot had holes in it.
