Once engaged, it enables the locking mechanism and allows the wash cycle to begin safely. Constructed from black, gray, and white plastic, this switch may need replacement if your washer struggles to start or fails to lock properly. Installation requires partial disassembly of the appliance and basic tools including a screwdriver, drill, and needle-nose pliers. Sold individually.

Washer did not recognize the door was shut
I removed the Wire and spring from the tub seal and then removed the seal on the side of the washer that contains the Door switch. I removed the two screws that held the door switch in place while holding the switch with my other hand. Once the screws where out I pulled the switch assembly out thru the gap and removed the wires from old assembly. I then plugged the wires into the new assembly aligned the holes up and put the screws back in the new door switch assembly. I then put the door seal and tub seal holder back on. This took about 15 minutes. I do recomend that you unplug the washer before starting this process.

I'm looking to replace the door striker and door lock on our front loading Kenmore washing machine. The door striker broke off in the door lock and the machine won't work even when we force and tape the door shut. This is the second time it has happened.
For model number 79641262610
Hello Amanda, thank you for your query. You may need to replace the door lock switch assembly, part number PS7792232, and the door lock hook, part number PS8752721, to fix the issue. The door lock switch prevents the washer door from opening during the wash cycle or spin cycle and the door lock hook attaches to the washer door and activates the door lock when you close the door. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Not a question....a very positive comment. First I thought my drain pump was broken so I replaced it but the unit still would not drain. Chris promptly answered my question of what else could be the problem and he suggested the door latch assembly. I ordered and changed out that part and it works perfectly now. Thank you so very much for excellent customer service.
