DOOR LOCK WH01X29528

This genuine OEM door lock is a replacement part specially designed for front-load washing machines. It is a safety mechanism designed to prevent the door from being opened during the wash cycle. When the door is closed, the lock engages automatically, securing the door shut until the cycle is complete and it is safe to open. This ensures that water and detergent do not spill out of the washer and cause injury. Over time, the door lock may fail due to physical damage or normal wear and tear. If the door lock is faulty, you may encounter issues such as the door not locking properly, leading to the washer not starting or stopping mid-cycle. You may also notice excessive noise and shaking while the washer is running.
