Lock Hoop Door Assembly WP22003269

The door had become more difficult to close and then eventually stopped locking. The relay worked but the mechanical mechanism was not working properly.

I did not use a manual. Just read some tips for removing the latch assy.

Latch Assy:

1. Removed the four screws that hold the lid to the detergent.
2. Remove the door and the 2 screws holding the door frame (opposite door hinges).
3. Pull the front panel forward, then remove a screw from each side that holds the washer top lid in place (nut driver).
4 Remove two screws that hold the latch assy (nut driver).
5. Unplug the wiring harness.
6. Reassemble in opposite order.

Lock Hoop Door Assy:

1. Remove the four screws that hold the door together and separate into two pieces.
2. Follow instructions to remove lock hoop (instructions should come with new assy)
3. Reassemble.

first i took the dispenser out for the soap, bleach , softerner. then took the four screws out of the inner front, panel at the opening removed it then, it had to 5/16 bolts at the top, to release the top of washer flip the lid open, and removed the latch assembly removed the three wires for the motors and put it back , as same as taking it apart. here's a hint,, if you need to open door there is a plastic line in the soap tray under it, pull , it will release the lock, mine was green color like weed eater line , it helps alot to have it open, thanks

Removed and replace the old spring and it close properly again.
