Whirlpool Washer Repair - How to replace the Door Lock Latch 

Thank you for this video. Still relevant for an older washing machine.

The narrator's explanations were succinct and direct, which made it simpler for listeners to comprehend. We provide genuine Whirlpool washer door lock latch and other whirlpool washer repair.

Thank you so much for this outstanding video, Steve! We paid $95 for the diagnosis that we needed to spend another $275 to get the door latch replaced. Thanks to your video, we were able to do it ourselves using a $25 used part off of EBAY. Excellent, clear instructions and great presentation!

Saved me having to replace the washer. Thank you.

After another annoying "stall" in the middle of a load, I decided TODAY was the day. This is a pretty easy repair and the guidance is good. I looked at another similar video and would share my experiences. First, you just need to back off enough of the bellows to get your hand in, about 8" of it, not all of it. The spring ring may be a little hard to start removing if it's been in place for 10 years, like mine, but it does come off...clean it off if it's gross/gritty. The switch removed easily and the clips holding the plugs in were reasonably easy to remove although the top one has a double-lock thing so you may need two fingers. Now the trick...getting the switch back into the bracket. While other videos say you can do this without removing the top....I'm sure you can if you do this a billion times, but after 10 attempts, I decided to remove the top. This made it much easier. One try, and removing the top is pretty easy. Getting the bellows back takes care so that it stretches over the lip. The spring also needs to be coaxed along but once it's over it nestles right into where it belongs. All in all, a pretty simple repair. Thanks for the video!!

Have to be fair this is an extremely informative video, thank you for taking the time to do this.

Great step-by-step video with good visuals of every step. You save me several hundred dollars. Thank you

Phenomenal video! I tend to fix everything around our house from stoves to mowers, etc. This took a lot of the mystery out of washer repair.

Thanks it was a 15 minute job because of your simple instruction I really appreciate it! Thank you thank you!

Awesome, saved me a service call and cost! Thank you.

Outstanding! This helped me get my washer back up and running again. Thank you.

I'm so happy! You helped me fix my own dryer! Thank you thank you!

This was so easy. Thank you!

That worked for me! Thank You.

Thank you, great video man

thanks' sir!

Very helpful, but, having just tried this, I can tell you that the process of hooking to the mounting tabs (~4:42 point in the video) is extremely difficult -> impossible if you aren't able to take the top off the machine as was done in this video. Many of us have washing machines that are the bottom unit of a stacked system (dryer on top). Short of moving the dryer (not always practical), and then pulling the washer away from the wall (again, not always practical), you're stuck pulling the boot away, and trying your best to get things attached to the tabs, by feel as much as anything else. I'm not 100% sure its a big deal, since the latch is screwed into place in the end with two screws, but, for anal people like me, it was worth pursuing. Whole job was maybe 30 minutes - 20 of which was spent on this one step. If you are able to remove the top, the whole job would be quite straightforward.

Great video, and especially appreciate the East Coast Canadian accent. :)

With my permission, I use your video for my site

I have a Wirlpool W10656460B (or W10656461B), I need to replace this lock latch too. Do you have this parts? Thanks

You dont have to take off the door boot. I spent more time trying to get that back on than actually replacing the part.

Hello mine keep frying them as soon as one is put in any ideas main board I thinking dunno tho .

Even though I've replaced the very part seen on the video, the latch still will not engage. It tries to, you can hear it trying, but nope, F2 E5 blink blink blink 12 years, maybe it's been a good run? lol

How do I get the door open if it's stuck closed ? Unplugging didn't work.

I didn’t remove the top. Did I do something wrong?

didn't work
