Easy repair, perfect fit
This part was for a washing machine that would not operate without it. We live in a remote location and there was no local repair service available. I ordered the part and it was delivered in four days. Installation took five minutes and it worked perfectly. The family is pleased to have a working washing machine !!!

Damage inner and outer door frame. Normal wear and tear Damsge
Followed the youtube video step by step. Very helpful video. Be careful of hinge screws. They are very easy to strip. Had to buy a special tool to remove stripped screws. Advice go ahead and purchase the 4 screws. 3 for the hinge and 1 for spare. Rest of the repair was easy. Less than an hour to complete.
The small plastic piece broke that locked the door.
Screwed the new part back into place.

The only problem was that the drive belt was so tight that it was two inches short from the drive shaft making it very difficult to put on by hand.
I did my best to stretch the belt out and as I wrapped it around the pulley one hand was preventing the belt from slipping off and the other hand had the screwdriver to use as Leverage to stretch and slip the belt on the other side of the pulley. One thing that I saw but didn't try was to use zip ties to temporarily hold the belt in place
... Read more so it didn't slip off that may have helped.

Broken Door Strike
Very basic replacement- 2 screws in and out. The part did not come with screws to be sure to save them if you remove the broken part ahead of time to make the process smoother.

Error code was flashing DR which meant door failed to Lock and unit wouldn't start
I started with a Phillips head Screw driver and removed the screws from the current Door strike and replaced with a new one. To replace the Door Lock and switch assembly I had to access the right portion of the door gasket which was a little tricky, as it has a wire ring around the gasket to keep it in position. It has never been removed
... Read more so it was fairly stuck so I took some pliers to pull on the gasket and ring to loosen it up. Once I got it off I was able to remove the Gasket just enough to access the electrical components to the Switch assembly. I loosened the screws on the current switch assembly using a Phillips head screw driver and removed it through the access point then unplugged the current wiring harness from the switch assembly and plugged the new switch assembly in. Then I tightened up the screws on the new switch assembly. re attaching the gasket was possibly the most time consuming as there is a metal lip on the door itself that the gasket has to wrap around in order to re attach the metal ring and hold everything in place. I took a flat head screw driver and ran it along the edges of the metal lip while pulling the gasket to secure it around the lip then I wrapped the metal around the gasket to secure it to the metal lip in the door ( Note: the metal ring has a spring that should be positioned at the bottom of the door once it's installed correctly, you will notice the gasket is shaped at the bottom to allow for the spring) Once I completed that I made sure all screws where tightened and then checked the unit to be sure it worked properly. It is working perfectly and no more error message.

For model number ATF6000FS1
Hi Raymond, Thank you for the question. If the striker is broken I would recommend having it replaced. Glue will not be able to hold it securely. Hope this helps!

My front load washer door will not stay shut. The catch does not appear to be broken but could possibly be worn. Would this cause the door not to catch
For model number 41741122410
Hi Bill,
Thank you for your question. It is possible that the catch is worn, but the problem could also be either the door strike or the door hinge. You will need to inspect the parts to see which one is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My washer has power it will latch but all it does is hum and every now and then it clicks like it's powering to something but won't do anything could that possibly be the door latch
For model number Ftf2140fs1
Hi Greg,
Thank you for your question. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the door lock and switch assembly, the door strike, the control board with housing, the drain pump and the motor control board. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I forgot to tell you that this all happened after the building shut off the water for two days during the day and back on in the evenings, to change a section of the main pipe. My washer was working fine before that. Last time the water was shut off in the building no one was notified and i ran my washer not knowing that there was no water to the appliance. My washer broke and it was the door lock. This time, many units including mine, had debris in their fixtures etc. The plumbers came back and bleed the lines and cleaned out the screens from several fixtures. They also did that to my washing machine line, but that did not fix anything. Why is it always defaulting immediacy to no spin???
occasionally it will give a tiny bit of water, but mostly it wont do anything but them nothing else. it will not actually start other than to except provide the panel lights and clicking sounds. it will not drain, it will not fill, it will not spin. and it always defaults, within 15 seconds to no spin.
hello sari, thank you for the question. i suggest testing the door lock and switch assembly, partselect number ps12364048 with a multi meter for continuity. your washer will not start if the door does not lock and if defective it will think the door in unlocked. hope this helps!
For model number Frigidaire LTF2140FS1
Hello Sari, thank you for your question. If the water was turned off and other tenants had plumbers come and clean out the screens there is probably an accumulation of dirt and debris in the water valve. That is why the unit won't start. There is no water to the unit. We would recommend replacing the water valve as you're not getting any water and after 15 seconds of trying to fill it will automatically go to no spin then stop. We would recommend replacing the valve, which is PartSelect Number: PS2330891. I hope this helps!

Can running the machine with no water available to the unit cause the unit to break, specifically the door latch?
For model number LTF2140FS1
Hello Ssari, Thank you for the question. I have not heard of it affecting the door latch but it can burn the water valve out and cause a short damaging other electrical parts within the appliance. Hope this helps!

Hi the washer will run but it makes noise. When you go to open the door it seems loose. I have checked all the screws everything is tightened.
For model number FFFW5000QW0
Hello Sue, Thank you for the question. This could indicate the Door Hinge with Bushings is worm or damaged and needs to be replaced. If you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
Will not do anything but beep. Turned off at breaker for over 10 minutes, turned the breaker back on and had the same beeping. Everything else looks good.
