Product review (5 stars): Great door latch
This fixed my issue without any issues. I was a little skeptical because on some repair sites the 'official' part is listed at twice the price so you know how these things usually go. But I ordered it fully ready to return it if it did not fix my door latch error on my Whirlpool washer. But when I removed the latch from my washer and put it side by side the two parts were not only identical but they actually had the same serial numbers and were produced from the same plant with the same part numbers. Guess as usual that a wide swath of brands use the same part for their washers.

This DID fix my issue and I have not had an issue since I installed it.

Now for the difficult part...Installing this part yourself IS a pain. Let me explain how I had to do it.

If you search youtube you will find you first have to remove the metal 'O' with a spring that holds the rubber boot on. That much was easy all you will need is two pliers for this, or a screwdriver.

However unhooking the door latch is not exactly easy so I will detail how I did it.

First to note there are 3 separate wiring harnesses that all need to be disconnected and then re-connected. You will have to disconnect some of these blind and by feel because there doesn't appear to be enough length to pull the latch to where you can easily do this while clearing the drum and front area of the washer where the latch mounts. You can however get a bit of an idea what you are doing if you use a flashlight and look through the hold

Disconnecting the Harness wires
On your new unit find the harness wires. There are 3 of them located in the following areas.
One large harness on the bottom oriented vertically toward the bottom of the washer
One large harness on the top oriented vertically toward the top of the washer
One small harness on the top oriented horizontally toward the back of the washer

Now the large harness on the bottom is the one you want to take off first it should be pretty easy
Now for the part that was somewhat tricky, the top two harnesses are protected by a plastic 'wing' that latches on the left hand side. You will need to free this wing by pushing on it backwards to free it from protecting the harnesses.

Now that the wing is out of the way you can remove the small harness then the other large harness. You might end up doing this looking through the small rectangular hole where your door latch actually fit because there really is no good other way to do this. The smaller one is a little easier to do first before you do the larger one. You might want to turn the latch around so you can more easily see to remove the smaller harness.

After the harnesses are removed you simply reverse the process and screw the unit back into place. Yeah it is a little bit of a pain because of cable length but hey you saved yourself a good amount of money.
