Washing Machine Door Latch

Whirlpool, a well-known brand, includes Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This Door Latch is an OEM part specifically for Whirlpool washing machines. It secures the washer door during use, keeping it closed and locked throughout both wash and spin cycles. This latch is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of the washing machine, as it prevents the door from opening mid-cycle and stops water leaks.

A faulty door latch can result from regular wear and tear, forceful handling, or electrical problems within the latch mechanism. When the door latch malfunctions, it can hinder the washer's performance and pose safety risks.

Common signs of a defective door latch include:

- The washing machine door not latching or locking properly
- The washer failing to start or stopping mid-cycle
- Error codes related to door lock issues
- Difficulty in opening or closing the door

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
