Product review (2 stars): crappy design
remember way back when you used to be able to simply lift the lid of your washer and toss in a dirty pair of socks? (pepperridge farms remembers!)
Now welcome to the 21st century where your washer locks, and to unlock, you have to hit a button then wait long enough to brew a cup of coffee, walk the dog around the block before the damn thing decides to unlock. Then one day, in a rush, you pull up hard and break the damn lock. no use fixing the existing latch or filing down the catch as there is a logic circuit built into the control board- you screwed the pooch. Now you have to buy a new latch (i strongly recommend spending an extra bucks on the W10404050 latch). the only good news is you came here to buy the parts (aprox$50!), which is fairly easy to install once you remove the top of the washer. all this for a modern water saving washing machine that doesnt clean as well as my 25yr old washer did.
