Washer Latch
PartSelect Number PS11766033
Manufacturer Part Number 5304505088
This is a door latch, also known as a door strike, for some models of washing machine. This part secures to the door of the washer and secures the door when it is shut, to ensure the inside drum of the washer does not leak. If your washer does not start properly and/or shut all the way, this latch is likely causing the issues you are experiencing and needs to be replaced. This latch is made of a brushed metal material and features two holes to secure it with screws. To replace this latch, simply unthread the screws of the old latch to remove it, and secure the new latch with the existing screws. This latch is not sold with any other parts or accessories, so any securing screws are sold separately.

Door would not close
There is a magnet at the bottom of the door which allows the door to be held ajar when the washer is not in use to allow the tub and gaskets to dry. A tab on the plastic housing which retains the magnet broke which allowed the housing to pull free of the door and stick itself to the machine preventing the door to close. Easy fix to replace the magnet was $18. Instructions were included in the box. Part number on the drawing was A165. PS3618292 Magnetic Door Plunger

David from MOUNT CALM, TX
The lid was closed to hard causing the door strike, lid lock bezel and assembly to break.
Changing the door strike was simple just a quarter turn and it pops off. Changing the assembly, remove the screws from the back side at the top, move to facing the front of the machine pull the top toward you about a half inch and it will open. From the back unplug the correct wire, remove assembly and then install in reverse. Good luck.

Washer Door Strike
But I found out that the part had actually shipped on the 3rd, as the email had informed me. It didn't actually ship until the 4th - up until then, a "shipping label" had been created but it had not shipped. FedEx then revised their arrival date to Monday, 8 July.
That clearly wasn't satisfactory. So I went to my local parts distributor, Dayton Appliance Parts, a fifteen-minute drive from my house, and got the same part for $3 cheaper, plus without the $25 shipping fee that PartSelect had charged me for overnight-shipping-that-isn't-actually-overnight-shipping.
Once I had the part in hand, installation was a breeze. Two screws removed, pulled the striker, replaced the new part and the screws. Less than two minutes.
But no thanks to PartSelect. Read more...

Broken door latch
First, I went to the PartSelect website and easily found the part at a reasonable price. I ordered it early on a Wednesday afternoon, and gladly spent the extra $25 to ship it overnight. That evening, PartSelect sent me an email stating that the part had shipped that very day, and - mistakenly - I took that literally. FedEx tracking predicted that the part would arrive on Friday, July 5, which made sense because the 4th was a holiday.But I found out that the part had actually shipped on the 3rd, as the email had informed me. It didn't actually ship until the 4th - up until then, a "shipping label" had been created but it had not shipped. FedEx then revised their arrival date to Monday, 8 July.
