Product review (1 stars): Be careful from reviews that say it works great the first week it's installed
Bought in on December 15, 2015 and on May 08/2016 STOPPED WORKING Only 5 Months later  [I'm getting the door lock issue again!]. If I would have bought the more expensive brand name, it would still be under warranty. Be careful from reviews that say it works great the first week it's installed!  The original one worked for over 6 years!  Open inside to look at "motherboard" connections like someone here had suggest. All connections inside washer were in good shape, no soldering needed. I'm buying OEM part at twice the price but with 365 day warranty.

update 05/13/2016:  ladies and gents: This is what the seller responded to me below on an email after I complain the part didn't last more than 5 month. BTW, I bought the original form the manufacturer at $99 locally, they have a written warranty that covers this item for 1 year.  Mind you wen you ready the reply below this person acts as if this is a OEM Whirlpool part which is not. I bought the OEM part made in Germany which has 1 year warranty. BUYERS BE WARE!
