Use this guide to replace the door latch in your LG front load washing machine. The door latch is electronically actuated. If your washer's door won't latch, you may need to replace this part. This guide will work for most LG front-load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same. The metal ring holding the rubber boot can be difficult to reinstall. You can buy this tool to make the reinstallation easier, or ask additional people to help.

ШагиSteps

Step 1

Before you begin your repair, perform the following:
Turn off the main water supply
Unplug your washer
Disconnect all water connections at the rear of your washer

Open the door

Open the front door completely.

Remove the boot ring

Use needle nose pliers to grip the spring end of the metal ring at the bottom of the rubber boot.
Pull the ring away from the chassis to separate it from the boot.

Step 4

Use your hand to completely pull the ring off the boot.
During reassembly, perform the following:
Insert one end of the ring into its groove along the boot's perimeter.
Use pliers to slowly stretch the ring around the boot's perimeter until it's completely nested in its groove.
Be sure the spring is centered at the bottom of the boot when you reinstall it.
This procedure will take significant force.

Disconnect the boot

Use your fingers to pull the boot off its lip in the front panel.

Step 6

Work your fingers around the boot's perimeter until it's completely separated from the panel.

Step 7

Use your hands to fold the boot into the drum.

Unfasten the door latch

Remove the screw(s) securing the door latch.

Expose the door latch

Reach between the boot and the chassis to grip the door latch.
Pull the door latch out of its slot in the chassis to expose it.
Don't try to fully remove the door latch yet. It's still connected to a cable harness.

Remove the door latch

Disconnect the cable harness from the door latch.
Always grip cables by their connectors and not the wires themselves.
Remove the door latch.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler. Repair didn’t go as planned? Ask our Answers community for help.
