• Common symptoms indicating this part may be needed: washer won't start, door won't latch or lock, or the latch feels loose or broken.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the door lock latch.
• Handle the door and glass carefully to avoid damage; align the latch with the strike before tightening fasteners.
• After installation, test a short cycle (no clothes) to ensure the door locks and the washer starts properly.
