The door latch is an OEM part designed for Frigidaire washing machines. It secures the door during operation, ensuring it stays closed and locked throughout the cycle. This function is crucial for safety and proper washer performance, as it prevents the door from opening mid-cycle, which could lead to water leakage or cycle interruption.

Common issues with a faulty door latch include mechanical wear, damage from forceful use, and electrical faults in the locking mechanism.

Symptoms of a bad door latch:

- Door not closing or locking properly
- Washer not starting due to a door detection error
- Frequent pauses during cycles indicating a door unlock error

This OEM part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

This part addresses the following issues:

- Door latch failure
- Door not opening
- Door not closing
- Washer won't start
