Door lock WPW10253483 is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part that fits some front-load washers in these series: Kenmore and Kenmore Elite 110; Whirlpool MWFW, WFW and YWFW; Maytag MHWE, MHWZ and YMHWE; Amana NFW and YNFW; and Inglis IFW and YIFW.
Door lock WPW10253483 prevents the washer door from opening during the wash cycle or spin cycle.
Unplug the washer, remove the bottom front service panel and pull the release tab on the bottom of the door lock to manually unlock the washer door.
Replaces original front-load washer door lock part numbers W10253483, 8540222 and 8540772.
Simply removed the wire to access the lock for the door. Pulled the door lock free from the metal housing after removing to allen screws. Disconnect 3 wire connectors (all unique, so you can't make a mistake). Attached the new door lock to the 3 wire connectors, put back on metal housing using the 2 allen screws. Turned on the washer and ran a cycle to test. Door locked as before and the wash continued without the F22 error on the readout.

This part solved our broken latch issue. It was not hard to install, but is much easier if you have small hands!

not hard to install
January 11, 2021|1023PM, Mpls MN
I used a 1/4" nut driver and was able to dis mantle the top of the washer and the control panel. In my case I also needed a Torx screwdriver. A T15 screw held the door lock in place. 3 different sets of wire harnesses were attached to the lock and boom it was done. Too bad it didn't solve the issue. I wound up calling a repair shop.

Kenmore HEt2 plus washing machine F26 error
August 21, 2020|Undisclosed, Kansas City, mo
The installation was fairly easy but it did not fix my issue. I was receiving an F26 error on my Kenmore HEt2 plus washing machine. The door would lock, cycle stalled. The only way to unlock the door was with the manual latch release. None of the troubleshooting suggestions fixed this issue
