Yep, this worked. Ordered the door lock from LG, got it the next day, and fixed it myself within 10 minutes. Got a hug from the wife and a promise for nookie later. Today was a good day.

Worked out great, thank you! Word of advice: after you put in the new lock the door will NOT close until the clamp is back on the boot!

Hands up to you Michael your technique was swift and simple without having to spend a bunch of money paying a technician who quoted me $265.00. I got the job accomplished. In 15 min. I order my part from Amazon, I am proud of myself. I will continue to watch your videos.Ty

Just made this repair on my own washer after watching this video. The only thing I did differently was purchase the tool to open the spring. Made it so easy to get in off/on. The whole repair took me maybe 10-15 minutes and cost around $30 for the part and tool. So much better than calling an appliance repair person. Thank you!

Thank you for the video - I just replaced the door lock assembly and it's now working properly (as best I can tell). I would never have even attempted it without your video. Two comments: When taking out the door lock assembly itself, I found it easier to FIRST unscrew the assembly and THEN detach the electrical harness. The harness is in there very snug and I wasn't able to detach it when I proceeded in the reverse order. Second, I really had trouble re-installing the door booth clamp. You've got to stretch that spring with all your might in order to get it seated. On my first several tries I'd get it almost complete and then the rubber gasket would start to pull out from the inner fringe.

Quality video, literally took 4 minutes to change. I wish all videos were this concise. Excellent information.

Thank you! $16 part from Amazon, fixed in 15 min! You are a life saver!

I just removed two screws from back of washer and removed the top lid. Easy access to switch and never had to mess with the door seal.

Worked like a charm!!!!!

Had an issue with my (expired warranty) LG washer a few years ago; charged $350 service call/repair and took about 3 weeks for the process of initial coming out, ordering of part and return to replace part… So when my door lock mechanism started acting up on Friday 7/5/19 I found this video, looked up and ordered part ($81.19 GRP) and Spring Expansion Tool ($27.99 Amazon), received the part and tool on Monday 7/8/19 and took about 15 minutes to repaired my washer at a total cost of $109.18.Funny how replacing a single part make your washer seem to run like a new machine… THANK YOU!

@@partselect Hi, the repair that cost me $350 was for replacing the LG WM3875HVCA PBC Assembly (Brain). Is that something you think I could handle like I did with the door lock mechanism or should I seek a professional if that problem reoccurs in the future? Please let me know if you have a video for that repair.

Awesome video. Great camera work, clear audio and presenter was professional. Best of all replacement was just as outlined.

Much appreciated! Glad it was helpful!

Wow thanks so much for this video. You saved me thousands on a new washer. Spent only 47 bucks

Tried both ways , saw comment bout removing 2 screws in back & thought that sounded ideal , 10 screws later i went back to the method described in video . Super easy - hardest part was darn spring at end .

I appreciate you so much. First you taught me how to replace my dryer heating element now this. You're a peach. ❤️

Before you replace the switch, use a flat screwdriver to pry your closed door slightly to the right toward the latch. This advice is based on detailed understanding of the switch. The switch has 4 wires - two for the solenoid and two to sense door shut. Shutting the door presses a white thing back and a black.piece to the right. Sliding the black piece to the right lets little black button in the switch extend out, both locking the latch and allowing a relay to close. The solenoid in the switch drives a 3 state mechanical mechanism, in one state the black button can extend out if the door is closed and the relay bus no longer blocked. The issue with the switch in general is getting your latch to push the black slide far enough to allow that other black square button to extend out of its hole to latch the door and get out of the relays way. The switched mostly are not bad, it is a mechanical issue. Pry your door a bit toward the latch to fix the mechanical issue.

And of course changing the switch itself is very easy - two screws and the rubber ring wire with spring to get at the switch with 4 wire connector. But keep your old switch. Probably nothing wrong with it even if it fixed the problem. The more likely issue is mechanical - pry door slightly toward latch with flat screwdriver wedged in hinge side before buying switch. Especially if you have played voodoo of pushing door various ways and found voodoo worked now and then. Then - try my may

Replacement is easy if it is easy to get that part; much, much more difficult and more useful is repairing the switch itself. Please do such a clip if you can. Thanks.

I did exactly what you did sir and it work perfectly but i open the door locker box and clean it with alcohol and q-tip. Very dirty and burnt so clean it ,put it back on . Now my wife very happy almost bought a new one .

Took me 33 minutes, difficultly making boot flush, I used 383EER4001A Washer Inner/Outer Tub Spring Expansion Tool by Beaquicy - and EBF49827801 Washer Door Lock Switch Assembly

At the end, how did you get the wire back on so easily. Mine will not go back on. It is too tight. Any suggestions?

Thank you, very good information and washer is back up and running. 👍🏻

Hey there - my washer started leaking, and it looks like there is a chunk that's been torn out of the edge of the gasket/door boot. I'm assuming that has to be the leak in the door? Ordered a new one and this video is going to help me install the new one. Thank you.

This worked great !

Thanks so much for the vid, I was trying to switch the door to the other side and found out the hard way the washer door isn't reversible. So I have to take the boot off and get the latch because it fell back in the machine.

Thanks mate! Just fixed mine and saved 150 bucks 👍

Hi Steve, I found your video and we ordered the part, my husband changed it. However, I keep getting the de2 error code. We tried another part and changed it, and it's still displaying de2 error. I slam the door and call it some bad words for about 20 minutes and it finally locks. After that cycle runs, I can consistently run the washer. The next day, it's back to doing the exact thing. What else can it be?

Wait a minute! I watched two videos filmed in this same room other showed taking to top (lid) off and reaching down inside to disconnect the door switch and replace. This one shows taking off the rubber gasket and replacing the door latch. So which is easiest for us mechanically challenged people? Thank you for the video.

Simple clear instructions.

Excellent, worked like a charm. Thank you!

@@cturnermd12 were you able to get it back on? I’m getting ready to attempt changing the door lock and that part is intimidating for sure.

Take the door latch out first then disconnect the wire connector its a lot easier that way!

Very helpful. Great Canadian accent.

Seems like it would be easier to remove the top panel to access the door switch and avoid having to remove the wire around the door boot which sometimes can be a pain to get back on.

The bottom piece thats in the door where the screws go in for the door strike is stripped. Any idea on how to fix that? Any clue on why that happened? On my LG (DLGX3571W) the door strike doesn't line up exactly with the latch...its down a bit and goes in kind a up into the latch. Is that the way it suppose to be?

hello iam facing some prob , i have LG FR4655NC1Z 16 KG washing machine , i ordered same part as you mentioned , and it is exactly matching but cant close the door bcz the hole is a bit smaller kindly help me out

Hi, I can’t disengage the lock. Depressed tab, wiggled and pulled no luck. Are there any tricks to detach?

Takes 5 minutes tops. Unscrew it before you remove the connection though. Also spent $5 on a spanner to put that ring back on.

I have an odd problem not addressed in any video for LG washer is making noise. The front Tabatha Emily seems to have about eight ball bearings rolling around between the front lip of the steel basket in the plastic rim. It might make salacious noises but no word on any parts diagram do I see these ball bearings in that part of the unit and definitely not when you took it apart.WM2701HV It seems as ball bearing should not be there because I don’t see them on any parts diagram. I did check the back of the unit and the bearings in the back are very tight and the basket does not wobble at all. Do you have any ideas?

Maybe someone had some metal bearings in their pocket and washed them? There shouldn't be any bearings there, only on the back middle like you described. I was an appliance tech back in 2005, but I never worked on these machines so I can't say for sure.

Saved me a lot of money. Thank you Steve!

Thank you very much !!!!!
