My door strike is attached by two screws in anchors attached to the door frame. Both anchors broke off of the door frame. How is this repair done???? i have a perfectly fine front load washer which i can not use because of what appears to be two cheaply attached screw holder anchors.
For model number GFWS1500D0WW
Hello Donald,
Thank you for your question. The anchors you are referring to are attached to the door frame on this model GFWS1500D0WW. They are considered part of it and not separate parts for purchase. The door frame under part number PS8688237, has been discontinued by the manufacturer. We would recommend getting in contact with GE, in order to figure out what your options may be for acquiring the parts you need. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Remove bottom kick plate of washer. Remove 4 screws behind door that hold the latch/lock assembly. Reach up inside the washer from underneath to unplug 3 wire connectors. (This is a very tight spot). Once wires are off, part comes right out. Connect wires to the new part - this is by far the most difficult part of the job because it is way up inside the washer. Replace all bolts. Overall, pretty easy to do - just reconnecting the wires is a pain, but if you are patient it is not a big deal.
Removed three 7mm sheet metal screws from the bottom front panel. The drain pump is in the front right. Removed the manual drain screen to drain residual water from the system. A bucket was necessary to collect all the water. Disconnected the inlet and outlet hose. Disconnected the electric supply. Removed two Phillips screws holding the pump to the bottom of the machine. Slid the pump towards the rear to clear the support pegs and removed it from the front opening. Installation is the reverse of those steps.
