For a <strong>front-load washer<\/strong>, the synonymous component is the <strong>door lock latch<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Nick:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThese parts are door-locking safety mechanisms designed to prevent the washer from <strong>operating any functions while open<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damage to these parts would cause their failure to<strong> interact properly <\/strong>with the washer lid or door. This means basic washer processes such as <strong>spinning would be hindered<\/strong> <strong>until the part is replaced.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check if your washer&#8217;s lid switch or door lock latch is faulty,<strong> listen carefully for a click<\/strong> when closing the lid or door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t hear this sound, then there is a <strong>high chance the part is compromised.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what Nick advises you to do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cDetach the control panel, locate the part, and <strong>test for continuity<\/strong> with a multimeter to confirm its damage.
