Helped fixed our washer

This worked great for my wife's washer. Helped us kick the can a little longer. Hopefully it will hold up long enough for appliances prices and inventory to return to normal. Make sure to look up a YouTube video on installation. The ring can be difficult to get off and put on. A flat head screw driver will make it a lot easier

Worked like a champ!

Part perfect fit, easy to find on web site. A little pricey for a door switch but much more sophisticated than I expected. .Easy to install without fully disassembling washer. Did it all from the open door. Saved a LOT on either a repair guy or a new washer.

Perfect

Washer stopped working mid cycle. Checked error code which showed bad door lock. I checked lock with multimeter and it was no good. Read a lot of iffy reviews on Amazon products and figured I'd dish out a few extra bucks and avoid having to replace it again. Works perfect

Easy to install

It was easy to install in of itself - only difficulty was with the screws- had the darnedest time getting them tightened back on to the new part, etc. so the lock latches would be able to 'catch' properly- it's finally on & my dryer is now 'spinning' properly-Thanks!

Door lock switch went out. Ordered it and the other part to be certain. A friend installed as I was 4 hours away.
