Detergent dispenser will not lock shut on the front load washer
For model number EWFLW65HSS0
Hello Darren, thank you for your question. That would be an issue with the dispenser drawer itself. The whole unit would have to be replaced as the front handle and latch is not sold separately anymore. That is PartSelect Number PS3495321. Please enter the part number into the site for current price and availability. Good luck with your repair.
Bought new part. #1 Lesson learned: Always inspect the actual part number of the ordered/received part. Verify with number marked on the item somewhere. We did not do this and turned out we reinstalled a slightly smaller bellow (wrong part number received in shipment). We were able to fully install it but it was minutely not laying perfectly around the diameter. So minor we did not notice. We did have great difficulty installing though. Anyway, after 1st test run, bellow already had developed a small hole in bottom right quadrant from rubbing on the drum. Left a bunch of gray powdery debris on the drum too. We did not realize error until that point. Took bellow off again to verify part number on it. It was wrong. That explained why the door was so very tight to close and difficult to open. Other than all that, use the video to do the install. It was free to view and easy to follow.
First, I went to the PartSelect website and easily found the part at a reasonable price. I ordered it early on a Wednesday afternoon, and gladly spent the extra $25 to ship it overnight. That evening, PartSelect sent me an email stating that the part had shipped that very day, and - mistakenly - I took that literally. FedEx tracking predicted that the part would arrive on Friday, July 5, which made sense because the 4th was a holiday. But I found out that the part had actually shipped on the 3rd, as the email had informed me. It didn't actually ship until the 4th - up until then, a "shipping label" had been created but it had not shipped. FedEx then revised their arrival date to Monday, 8 July. That clearly wasn't satisfactory. So I went to my local parts distributor, Dayton Appliance Parts, a fifteen-minute drive from my house, and got the same part for $3 cheaper, plus without the $25 shipping fee that PartSelect had charged me for overnight-shipping-that-isn't-actually-overnight-shipping. Once I had the part in hand, installation was a breeze. Two screws removed, pulled the striker, replaced the new part and the screws. Less than two minutes. But no thanks to PartSelect.
Parts took twice as long to arrive shipped from Utah to Houston, Texas. Once arrived parts were straight forward to install. 1) Open the door by tripping the door strike using yard trimmer line. 2) Turned Power off (unplugged unit) 3) Used needle noses pliers to remove door rubber boot retainer 4) Folded right-side of rubber in to removed switch assembly 5) Used Phillips screwdriver to remove switch assembly screws, navigated damaged switch part forward then disconnected line. 6) Connected new switch to line, navigate part back into washer and screwed back in. 7) Repositioned door rubber boot and reattached door boot retainer wire with hands and needle noose pliers. 8) Replaced door strike using Phillips screw driver. 9) Re-plugged washer power to outlet, closed door and ran a test cycle. All good!
