Whirlpool WPW10253483 Washer Door Latch Assembly OEM Part

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.

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. Mahalo

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.

Ran the diagnostic function on the washer, it showed error codes to be the switch, watched the video, got the part installed in about 20 mins. Problem fixed, washer is working great.

After chat with your tech, she determined what error code indicated. Advised of part required with link to do it yourself video. Piece of cake. Probably saved me a $300 repair bill.
