Description

This door latch assembly secures and electrically locks the washer door so cycles can start and run safely. It replaces a worn or failed latch to restore proper door locking and cycle operation. What it does:

• Physically secures and aligns the washer door so it closes properly.
• Activates the door-lock switch so the machine can start and run.
• Helps prevent the door from opening mid-cycle, reducing leaks and interruptions.
• Commonly used when the washer won't start, shows a door-lock error, or the door won't stay closed.

What's included:

• One complete door latch assembly.

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Remove the washer door boot or front panel to access the latch.
• Check wiring harness connections and connector orientation before reconnecting.
• After installation, run a short diagnostic or test cycle to ensure the latch locks and releases correctly.
