Door latch module was defective
This model is a front-loading washer. The spring loaded retainer for the front of the boot must be removed, then the boot can moved to the side exposing the module. Remove the two screws holding the model, pull the model out, remove the three electrical plugs, then reverse this procedure to install new module.

Washer starts and fills but once it starts to spin it blinks a red light (door lock) and stops running. Can get it to open and sometimes it'll finish the load but the problem seems to be getting worse. It doesn't seem to matter what size of load we put it.
For model number WFW9750WW001
Hello Barb, Thank you for the question. This sounds like the Door Lock is defective and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps!

The washer stopped in the middle of a cycle and wouldn't unlock. Finally unlocked, now the washer won't start. Makes noises as if it is trying to lock but light doesn't come on like it used to. I put it in diagnostic mode, but it didn't seem to move past testing the lock mechanism (kept flashing on rinse/spin). No error codes displayed. Is the latch on the door supposed to move around a little or should it be very tight? Thank you!!!!!!
For model number wfw8410sw03
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few parts you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the door lock latch, the temperature sensor, the drain pump, the door strike, the drive belt and the dispenser actuator switch. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How do i test this door lock assembly to make sure it’s what is causing my problems?
For model number WFW9151YWOO
Hello Dave, thank you for inquiring. You can test the resistance of the Door Lock Latch with a multimeter. The wax motor in the Door Lock Latch should test as around 1500-1750 ohms to be working properly.

Hello, we have already bought the latch to replace our old one on our Kenmore 110.47571601 but the #20 torx screw with built in washer for the latch is stripped and cannot be reused. Do you sell this screw?
For model number 110.47571601
Hello Mackenzie, thank you for your question. The screw that holds the latch for this unit is PartSelect Number PS11746286. I hope this helps.
When i close washer door it beeps twice but won't start. After slamming door a few times, it may start. Is this a cause of the door latch not functioning properly?
For model number WFW8300SW00
Hello Luz, thank you for inquiring. Yes, this may be due to a faulty Door Lock Latch, this part number PS11751211 for your model washer. You can test the resistance of the Door Lock Latch with a multimeter. The wax motor in the Door Lock Latch should test as around 1500-1750 ohms to be working properly. You may also want to consider the Temperature Sensor, part number PS11755214 as the cause. Good luck with your repair!

Washer has power, fills with water but, has no spin. The belt is good.
For model number MHWE251YG00
Hi Gary,
Thank you for your question. If your washer will fill with water but not spin, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the pump, the door lock latch and the belt. You will find the information on how to test these parts under Free Repair Help and Instant Repairman on our website. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!
This part doesn’t look the same as the one in my washer. I’ve replaced the motor control and only get 3 beeps. I would like to test this which tabs are the wax motor. The DC , AC or the ones marked 1 2 3 at the top.
For model number 110.47081600

Hi, for part # WPW10253483 washer door lock switch, there are 3 terminals I believe for 2 coils and one for common, what is the resistance value of these terminals for me to tell that I had a defective switch? Reading I had for left and right terminal @2k ohms: .119 ohms; Left to middle: .058 ohms: middle to right terminal: .062 ohms.

My machine runs normally but will not start the final spin leaving the clothes very wet. I have checked the drain pump and hoses and all are free and clear. The machine gives me the code F0 E1. I cannot find this code in the failure error codes that came with the machine. Could it be a problem with the door not locking. It makes a noise when started that sounds like it is locking.
For model number YMHWE201YW00
Hi Brad, thank you for contacting us. We have researched the model and would suggest making sure you are not running the clean washer cycle when the clothes are in the drum. Unplug the washer for 5 minutes and then plug it back on. If the error still appears, the issue might be with the control board, part number PS11753744. It processes the cycle settings you choose. We hope this helps!
Hello William, thank you for the question. It appears that your washer may have a damaged door lock, part number PS11751211. We recommend checking it to get to the root of the problem. Good luck with this repair!
