LG Washer Door Won’t Latch or Lock? MFG63099101 Door Hook – Fix It Fast

A broken door hook is one of the most common reasons an LG front-load washer won’t start or stops mid-cycle. In most LG front-load washers, this is caused by a failed door hook — the small but critical metal component that engages the latch strike to signal the door is securely closed. When it breaks or wears down, the door won’t latch properly, the door sensor never confirms closure, and the washer refuses to run. ⚡ High-wear failure point in LG front-load washers. Part MFG63099101 is the genuine OEM replacement door hook that restores a secure latch and gets your washer running again immediately.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:

• ✔ Your washer powers on and the control panel is responsive
• ✔ The drum, motor, and drain system are functioning normally
• ✔ The door latch strike (on the machine body) is intact and undamaged
• ✔ The door hinge is not bent or misaligned
• ✔ ONLY problem is the door won’t latch, lock, or stay closed — and the hook is visibly broken or worn
