This is a genuine OEM door lock assembly for a top load washing machine. This part is also known as a door switch, and it is used to communicate whether the door to the washer is opened or closed. If the lid is open or unlocked, as a safety feature it will not allow the machine to operate or spin. Attempting to open the lid when it is locked can cause damage to the switch. If your washer will not start, the lid will not open or close, or the machine will pump but not spin, you may need to replace the door lock assembly. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your washer before beginning this repair, as you will be working with electrical components.

Hi Jeanne, thank you for reaching out. As you have already replaced the door lock assembly, we would suggest checking the control board, part number FIX12114300. It manages the washer's functions such as filling, washing, draining and spinning. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!
