The door lock assembly is a part for your washing machine and tells the washer that the door is closed and locked into place. If the switch has shorted out and not locking, it is no longer delivering the message to the machine and it will not latch into place. If you find that your door will not close, open, or start, it is more than likely an issue with the locker switch assembly. The switch is located behind the front panel. You will need to remove the gasket to reach the switch.
The door hinge attaches the door to the front panel of the washer cabinet. If the door hinge is damaged, or faulty, the door may not close or open properly and can lead to the unit leaking during the wash cycle. This genuine OEM part is sourced directly from the manufacturer, made of stainless steel, and measures approximately 12 inches long x 6 inches wide.
