Gallery washing machine door latch stuck in lock position

• My door latch happened to be stuck in the lock position - which blocked the path of the latch on the door.
• I was able to make my way to the inside of the latch assembly and figured out how to release the latch so that it was in the unlock position by firmly depressing the metal plate and pushing the latch up into the assembly. (The metal plate is difficult to depress due to the heavy-duty spring, but it can be done.)
• After releasing the latch to the unlock position, I re-assembled it.
• I connected the wiring harness and hung it in the bracket.
• Beyond that, I didn't see anything loose, so I re-installed it.

Grounding in a 120vac environment usually will cause a big spark and pop the circuit breaker. There is a possibility the latch is like a car door latch. If it somehow gets moved to the shut or latched position when the car door is open, it will never close and latch . The latch must be returned to it's normal door open position so that when closed it will latch securely.

Your machine's latch may be blocked by something acting like the car door latch described above. It may be the switch has broken and is the "culprit".
