TECH TIP: In case of a power failure, the
latch should unlock automatically after 2
minutes, but if not, the door can be opened
manually by removing the washer toe
panel and reaching up to pull down on the
manual release tab at the bottom of the
door lock assembly. A reason for the lock
not self-opening after 2 minutes would be
if the power interruption occurred prior to 2
minutes of cycle time, which would not allow
enough time for the wax motor to energize
and extend completely.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before
operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Open the washer door.
3. Remove the front panel of the washer
(See page 4-58).
4. The door lock solenoid at the top of the
assembly has a ferrite core resistor on the
wire to reduce electrical line noise.
5. Disconnect the bottom wire connector
from the wax motor, also called the thermal
safety.
6. Disconnect the door locked switch
7. Lift the locking tab and disconnect the door
closed switch rast connector.
8. Disconnect the door lock solenoid at the top
of the door lock assembly and remove it.
