Door lock was in the locked position and door could not close

I bought a new door lock for 132 dollars (item number PS2037196).

Ultimately you have to get to the inside of the machine where the door lock is located in order to see if you will need this door lock that I bought.

DISCONNECT POWER FROM MACHINE.

First take off the top by taking off the 2 screws on the back of the machine.

Second take off the control panel, I believe there are about 5 or 6 screws for that.
(there's also a screw when you open up the detergent compartment on the bottom left- also, a lever must be pushed in order for the compartment to come off- it MUST be taken off).

Third unscrew the top of the front white plate.. there should be a 5 or 6 screws for that.
You don't need to take off the entire front plate.

Finally unscrew 3 screws that hold the door lock in place .. make sure your hands is in the machine- the back of door lock to catch the lock when you're on the last screw.

Gently take out the door lock from the side with the cables attached by holding the white metal door open (it bends).

Try to pull on the bottom of the door lock (its a manual release). If it doesn't release you need to buy a new door lock like I did... if it does release then you don't need a door lock and just reassemble.
(Note: You can also try plugging in the machine and THEN pulling down on the manual release. When I tried this the door lock just vibrated and nothing happened so I bought a new door lock.)

If you have the new door lock continue here:

Take out all 3 cables on the old door lock by pressing on the corresponding clips.

Attach the new door lock with the correct cables. Assemble machine back together.

Thats it.

Chewed up door latch

The dog ate the door latch so I ordered a new one. All I had to do was unscrew the old one, remove, and screw in the new one. Super easy. Took longer to find the screwdriver than it did to make the repair.

Door was coming apart from the hinge

Figured out the part needed to properly fix the problem and when the part came, I was glad I chose the correct one even though I pretty much knew that it was what I needed. I disassembled the door, took the old/broken part out and put the new one. It took about 20 minutes to do it.

Door opened too far and broke plastic door ring.

After determining and obtaining replacement part, I used a No.2 Phillips screwdreiver and removed the door and hinge by removing the two flatheat screws that secure the door and hinge to the washer. After removing the screws, the door hinge is still attached to the washer because the hinge assembly has hooks that hold it in place. To physically remove the door, lift up on the door by holding the bottom of the door and the bottom of the hinge and lifting.Lay the door on its face on a solid surface covered by a towel or similar soft cover. Remove all of the screws holding the inside ring to the outside ring. Before removing the inside ring, pay attention top the orientation of the hinge. Lift off the inside ring then the hinge. Be sure to keep the four white plastic caps on the hinge and set the ring and hinge aside. pay attention to the orientation of the glass inside cover and outer plactic cover as it will be easier to reassemble. If you forget, there are notches to realign the glass and plastic. replace the broken outer door ring, lay in the outer plastic cover, the glass cover and the hinge (w/plastic caps). Then reinstall the indise door ring and snug in the screws. Reinstall the door on the washer by inserting the hooks on the hinge into the slots on the washer. Finally reinstall the two flathead screws to secure the door. Your're done.
