Watched a u tube video and did it myself and I'm a 58 year old woman who has never worked on a washer before!

Followed the video instructions to the letter. so easy. Door works great and will certainly come back if and when I need any parts.

Took door lock switch out and fished out broken part. Reinstalled switch and installed new striker. Problem solved. Ordered extra striker just in case.

It was a very easy fix. Called a repairman and they wanted 350.00 to come out. Ordered the door lock and switch assembly for 76.00 and it was fixed in 15 minutes. Thank you for shipping the part so fast. Much appreciated.
