Door Lever WP34001260

I am super excited that partselect.com asked me to do this review.

1-Order part on website, validate that everything is correct. It was. PS11741552
2-Part received is going to be a small box of screws instead of your vastly overpriced plastic door latch. This will happen your first time ordering, it is normal.
3-Item refunded through customer service and a new item sent out.
4-At this point you will need to do laundry, my recommendation here is to put you back against the door, maybe read a book and have a drink for the half hour it takes for a cycle. Nobody with a washer wants to hang out with the unwashed masses at the laundromat.
5-Receive another box of screws. It this point you will now believe that the screws are a metaphor for how partselect feels about customer service.
6-Contact customer service again, get another refund. At this point partselect will just give up and tell you to order the parts from the manufacturer. Once again by the picture on the site and the confirmation, you have order the correct part.
7-Total time here is over a week to 2 because the parts move slowly.
8-Order part on literally any other site.
9-When you get it unscrew the 2 screws from the broken part. Replace with the new part and screw the 2 screws back on.
Fixed!!

I removed the spring that goes around the rubber on front of drum, pulled back rubber near the lever, removed the 3 screws holding in the latch, reached in and disconnected the 3 plugs to part, connected new part put it in place screwed it in, put the part of rubber i pulled back, put spring back around the rubber, plugged machine in done

Replaced door lever (PS11741552) and door lock latch (PS11745016).

Initially I tried to replaced just the obviously broken (split) door lever, but then door would not close at all. Lever is as simple as it gets, so the problem was apparently the door lock latch.

After watching video (on this site) that shows it was fairly easy to access and install a new door lock latch (2 screws in back, 8 screws in front), I ordered a new door lock latch.

Took about 35 minutes to install new lever and latch.

Works perfectly now. I hope to get a few more years out of this machine.

so simple could not beleive .

We watched the instructional video and it was a complete success!

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.

Took off top. Removed front control panel.Removed top screws on front door panel,then I had access to door lock for removal.Had to replace door latch also as this was broken while trying to close door before we noticed the door lock was not working.

Pull washer away from wall and find two screws in back next to top edge. Undo and pull top of machine off (lip on fron edge under face cover). reach down and unplug three plugs on door latch small one on top, biggest on bottom. Unscrew the three screw holding the latch on the front of the machine, take out the old and put in the new. Note, I pluged in the plugs before screwing the new one in place, and that might be easier. Put the top back on.
I couldn't find any way to adjust the door, so you still have to lift it up when closing.

replaced door latch but door would not close had to remove latch assembly and reset the latch in the latch assembly. To reset latch in latch assembly you remove the black plastic only on latch assembly then press the spring down with thumb move the black plastic catch back to the latch position. when you remove the black plastic there is four metal switchs and one spring that you have to pay attention too so remove very carefully.
