This is a door lock designed by the OEM and made for washing machines. This door lock is used to hold, secure, and stop the washing machine door from opening during the washing cycle. If your washer is not starting or will not lock or latch, this door lock likely needs to be replaced for it to continue working. This door lock is located on the inner portion of the door frame, so some disassembly of your washing machine will be necessary to remove and replace it. This door lock is an OEM part and is old individually, so it does not come with any other parts.

Perfect Fit
The part arrived within two days of ordering. It was the exact replacement for the failed OEM part. I installed it as per the online video and got the machine working again as if it was new. I’m so happy I found this on PartSelect.

The right part.
This was the right part for my washing machine. The door lock had been acting odd ,clicking on and off. So I watched a you tube video.found the part I needed from Part Select at a great price. Repair guy wanted $300. To fix this issue. I was able to DYI for just over $80.00. Running with no trouble at all.

Error code: F5E3 - front loader door won't open
Maytag Washer MHW5100DW
Symptom: front loader door won't open
Error code at the beginning of a wash cycle: F5 E3 means your door latch isn't working properly which is why the door won't open.
1) First try to reset the electronics:
..... Power unit down by unplugging for one (1) minute. .
... Read more.... Power unit up by reconnecting power. ..... Restart a new cycle.
Result: the door remained locked with the same error code.
2) Next manually unlock the door to see if the lock will reset and work normally again.
..... Power unit down by unplugging. ..... Remove the 3 screws holding the top cover attached to the back. ..... Lift the top cover slightly to disengage and pull back 6 inches. ..... Use a flashlight to see the positioning of the door lock and the manual plastic unlock tab on top. ..... Wiggle your arm down through the narrow opening on top and pull up on the small plastic pull tab to unlock the door. ..... Power unit up by reconnecting power. ..... Restart a new cycle.
Result: the door remained locked with the same error code.
3) Finally, replace the lock assembly
..... Power unit down by unplugging. ..... Wiggle your arm down through the narrow opening on top and pull up on the small plastic pull tab to unlock the door. ..... With the door now open, remove the wire spring retaining ring around the rubber door gasket. On either side of the spring is a place to grab it with needle nose pliers to assist in removing it. ..... Remove the 2 screws holding the lock assembly to the front panel. ..... Pull back the gasket slightly near the lock assembly and unplug the 2 electrical connections to the lock assembly.
..... Replace the lock assembly. ..... Pull back the gasket slightly near the lock assembly and plug the 2 electrical connections to the lock assembly. ..... Use the 2 screws to attach the lock assembly to the front panel. ..... Attach the spring retaining ring around the door gasket. On either side of the spring is a place to grab it with needle nose pliers to assist in installing it. I also used a vise grip pliers to help hold the spring retaining ring in place as I stretched the spring. This step was the biggest problem for me and consumed the most time. ..... Attach the top cover with the 3 holding screws ..... Power unit up by reconnecting power. ..... Restart a new wash cycle.
Result: the lock test cycle completed with no error codes and the wash cycle started normally.

The error code e3 f5 flashes - clicking noise when you close the door and won't wash. Sometimes it does wash then the clicking noise occurs again and won't open. I am pretty sure it is the door lock. But, i would like for you to verify this for me before i order the part. Thank you.

My washer show f5 e2. Is this the part i need to repair it?
For model number WFW72HEDWO
Hi Lanita,
Thank you for your question. The F5 E2 error code is letting you know that your washer cannot engage the lid lock because there may be an obstruction. You will need to remove any objects that are preventing the lock from engaging. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello, after I turn on and set the temp and spin and the door is closed i press run. The door will lock audibly and the light comes on showing that it is locked but it will not run. The door is physically locked and there are no error codes. I have tried adjusting the knob in case it was between settings. I have tried multiple times of opening the door,making adjustments,turning the power on and off but every time it locks the door and then nothing. The water is on and the hoses do not have kinks in them. They have not been touched. The machine is 22 months old and used by a single person so it is not used a lot. I could use some help. Thanks, Tony.

Hello!!! i have the washer with the model above. According to my Brother, i have to buy the whole control panel. the washer will not start and the door gets lock when i have closed it...it will not open after i have closed the door. also, the washer some way some how cuts my clothes while is washing the load of cloth. i need an expert to guide me what to buy.
For model number 7MWFW81HEDW0
Hi Ana,
Thank you for your question. If the washer is not starting, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the temperature sensor and the noise filter. If your clothes are tearing in the washer, you may be overfilling it. If you try to force too many clothes into the washing machine, this increases the risk of a tear, snag or some other form of damage. The excessive load changes the weight of the washing machine and some of the clothes may snag inside. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The door will not stay shut the part i need is on the door goes into the latches what part is that is that number six
For model number WFW75HEFW0
Hi Dan, thank you for your question. The part that goes into your door latch is called the strike, that would be this part: PS11755543. Good luck with your repair.
Hello Glenn, thank you for writing. If F9 E1 (drain pump system problem - long drain) appears in display, the washer is taking too long to drain water. The drain may extend more than 4.5" (114 mm) into standpipe. Check plumbing for correct drain hose installation. We hope this helps.
