Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Door does not close or latch properly.
• Washer will not start because the control does not detect a locked door.
• Door-lock warning, flashing lock indicator, or related error may occur.
• Door remains locked or will not release after a cycle; other causes such as residual water or control faults must also be considered.

Check Before Replacing

• With the washer unplugged, inspect the door strike and latch opening for visible damage, misalignment, clothing, or debris.
• Check the door gasket area for trapped items or buildup that could prevent complete closure.
• Close the door firmly and verify whether the latch engages evenly without excessive force.
• If the door remains locked after a cycle, confirm whether water remains in the tub and follow the washer’s normal cancel, drain, and power-reset guidance before suspecting the latch.
• Do not bypass the door-lock assembly or operate the washer with damaged door-lock components.
