Re: my machine wont start ,unless i really have to slam...
Either the switch striker/actuator on the door is worn or the door lock/switch assembly on the right side of the door opening is faulty. It is recommended to replace both parts when one is faulty or worn. The door lock/switch assembly is part number 1094190 and costs about $55. The switch striker/actuator is part number 906446 and costs about $5.
Door Lock/Switch Replacement Procedure
- Unplug the machine.
- Open the machine's door.
- Locate the retainer spring of the seal boot retaining hoop at the bottom of the door opening.
- Stretch the retainer spring apart then remove the retaining hoop.
- Ease the edge of the seal boot off the lip of the door opening near the door lock/switch assembly. Remove enough of the seal boot to gain access to the door lock/switch assembly behind the front panel of the washer. Be careful not to tear the seal boot. It will cause water to leak out of the machine.
- Remove the three screws securing the door lock/switch assembly to the front panel.
- Slightly lift the door lock/switch assembly, pull it away from the front panel then pull it out of the machine.
- Disconnect the wiring harness and connect the new door lock/switch assembly.
- Reinstall the new door lock/switch assembly and the seal boot in reverse order of the procedure above.
