This magnetic door plunger, also known as the magnet holder, is built for your washer. When you order this part, you will receive the plastic housing and a spring that goes with it. The magnetic door plunger attaches to the inner door panel of the washer. It holds the door open when the washer is not running, and allows the door and tub seal to dry. This prevents mold and mildew from building up. Occasionally, the plastic tabs on the housing can break, and when this happens the part will need to be replaced. You may also notice that your washer lid or door will not close; this can also be a sign of a damaged magnetic door plunger.

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.

Door locking mechanism

This hook locker, commonly referred to as a door lock strike is specially designed for LG washers. It is a small, metal plate that is attached to the washer door. When the door is closed it engages with the door lock mechanism to keep the door securely shut while the washer is running. If it is damaged, worn down, or corroded, it will be unable to engage with the locking mechanism and prevent your washer from closing or staying shut. You may notice that your washer will not start or stops running mid-cycle. You will need to replace the door strike to fix the washer.

Door would not shut completely.
After replacing the locker assembly (female) on the machine, The door strike(male) was hitting well below the locker. I realized that the screws holding the door hinge were loose.
