FAQ

If your washer fails to start, displays a door-related error code (such as dE, dE1, or dE2), or if the door remains locked after the cycle finishes, the door lock switch assembly is likely failing. This part is responsible for detecting that the door is securely closed and locked before the machine allows the wash or spin cycle to begin.
This assembly replaces EBF61315802 and is compatible with cross-reference numbers EBF62534401, 2667085, AP5672154, PS7792232, and EAP7792232.
Yes, this door lock switch is designed for use in both LG and Kenmore front-load washing machines, particularly those in the 796-series.
Installation typically requires a Phillips head screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver or putty knife to remove the spring clamp on the door boot seal, and a pair of pliers. The process generally takes 30 to 45 minutes for an experienced DIYer. Always unplug your washer from the power source and turn off the water supply before beginning work.
When replacing the switch, you will need to carefully peel back the rubber door boot seal to access the lock assembly behind the front panel. Wearing work gloves is recommended, as the interior edges of the washer cabinet can be sharp. Be sure to securely reconnect the wire harness to the new switch before reassembling the door boot seal.
While not strictly required, if your door strike (part number MFG63099101) shows signs of wear, cracking, or misalignment, it is often a good practice to replace it alongside the lock switch to ensure a perfect fit and prevent future lock engagement issues.
