Washing Machine Door Latch and Receiver

The Washing Machine Door Latch and Receiver is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component designed specifically for Frigidaire washing machines. This essential part ensures the washing machine door closes securely and stays locked throughout its operation, enhancing safety and preventing leaks.

Frigidaire manufactures this component, which is also compatible with several other brands, including Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and select Kenmore models. Additionally, Frigidaire supplies similar products for Sears-Kenmore.

Common issues with door latches and receivers often stem from physical damage such as cracks or breaks. This damage is usually the result of the door being slammed or shut too harshly.

When the door latch and receiver are not functioning correctly, you might notice several indicators:
- Difficulty in closing or locking the door.
- The washing machine failing to start, as it does not detect the door as securely closed.
- Water escaping from around the door.
- An error message or an indicator light that points to a problem with the door latch.

Addressing these issues promptly can help maintain the efficiency and longevity of your washing machine.
