My door is locked, how do i unlock it?
For model number MHN30PDBWW0
Hi Scott,
Thank you for your question. First and foremost, unplug your appliance from the outlet. You will need to remove your front lower kickplate on your machine so that you can access the door lock latch. Once you have removed this part, reach up into the machine where your door lock is. It will be in the same spot that lines up with the strike on your door. There is a manual release that you can pull to unlock your door. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Will this door strike work on the model I have provided? It is the front loader whirlpool washer door strike.
For model number WFW94HEXW0
Hello Chelsie, thank you for the question. This part number is not compatible with your model number. The compatible part number is PS11755543. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
The hook on the door strike broke off from being forced open. How do I get that piece out of the catch? I was reading that some people were able to use pliers but I don’t want to damage anything. It doesn’t say that the lock is still engaged. I have the rubber gasket removed and I can reach the lock mechanism from inside. Do I have to take it out to do this? Or is this something that needs to be replaced too? Thank you!
For model number MHWE251YG00
Hi Ashley,
Thank you for your question. To remove the broken strike piece from the lock, try using. a pair needle nose pliers and a small flathead screwdriver. Tweezers may help also. We hope this helps!
