Washing Machine Door Lock Assembly

The door lock assembly is a genuine OEM part designed for Frigidaire front-loading washing machines. It also fits models from Crosley, Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, Kelvinator, and Sears-Kenmore. This component plays a crucial role in keeping the washing machine door securely closed while it operates, helping to prevent the door from opening accidentally during cycles.

Several factors can contribute to the malfunctioning of a door lock. These include normal wear and tear of the components, damage to the locking arms from frequent use or from being forced open, or issues with the electronic mechanisms that control the locking system.

When a door lock is failing, some common signs include:
- The door fails to latch properly or stay closed during operation.
- The door may swing open unexpectedly while the machine is running.
- The machine may display error messages pertaining to the door.
- The lock might not release when it should.

Replacing the door lock is essential for maintaining the safety and efficiency of your washing machine. It ensures that the laundry stays contained during all washing and spinning cycles. This replacement part is compatible not only with Frigidaire machines but also with those from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
