To access the inside of the pedestal two screws are what need to be removed. These screws have a nut so you will need a wrench as well as a screw driver. The screws are located at the front of the metal rail on each side, that the drawer rides on. Empty the drawer, remove the screws and slightly lift and pull the drawer free.
The part responsible is the little white square box called a 'Latch' located at the front bottom of the casing, in the middle held by two screws. A black 'strike' on the door inserts into this Latch. If the strike is good the latch should be the problem. I took this part to Lowe's where I purchased my units. I found that this wasn't under my warranty, but they called and ordered the part for free. I just have to wait 7 days, I hope they ordered the right part!

Good Afternoon Apetgroomer,
I see that you're having trouble with your Electrolux pedestal drawer, model# EPWD15TS, door not closing. There are 2 pieces inside the drawer that help to keep the drawer shut that could be broken. One is the drawer strike, which is actually attached to the drawer itself. The other is the drawer actuator, which is attached to the casing which holds the drawer. Check both of these parts, and if it is one of them, i suggest contacting the manufacturer to se if they have any replacement parts.
-Best Regards-

Here are some steps you can follow to try and identify the issue:
Check the Door: The start button on your Electrolux washer may start blinking if the door to the washer is not closed properly. Try opening and closing the door again to see if the button stops blinking.
Error Code Display: If the light only appears red, you can try the following manipulation to display the error code:
Turn on your washing machine
Simultaneously press the start button and the one to its left, usually the "end of cycle" button
After a few seconds, the error code should be displayed

Here are the most common reasons your Electrolux washing machine is leaking water - and the parts & instructions to fix the problem yourself.
..
Slip a sheet of newspaper under the bottom of the machine and it will indicate the area. If is does it when the machine is not running. My guess is that it is around the pump because some water always sits there, so either the pump body or the drain hose itself.
Hello Aung, I appreciate your post!
Based off what you have described your Electrolux washer is displaying an error code of "DR". The "DR" code means that the door is not closed or the door latch is not recognizing the door is closed. This could be an issue with your door latch or control panel. You should perform a reset on your washer and you can do that by disconnecting the power cord for at least ten minutes. If the reset does not help correct your issues I would recommend having a professional technician out to perform a proper diagnosis and repair. Best of luck! -Matt
first test outlet to mke sure ur getting full voltage
Push start switch may need to be tested with a multi meter for continuity OHMS should show a closed circuit when pushed in or turned on.
The start switch on some top load washers is often part of the timer and is activated by pulling out on the timer knob. Although not normally available as a separate part, the switch can be tested for continuity with a multi-meter. You will need to remove power from the appliance and then locate the correct timer contacts as noted on the wiring diagram. On some electronic controlled models, the start switch is a momentary contact type switch located on the control console. You can test this switch for continuity with a multi-meter when the push button is held in
Overheating
If you've run several loads, one after another, without any problem but suddenly find your washing machine refuses to start, overheating could be the cause. The simple way to discover whether this is the problem is to give the machine ample time to cool down, say for a couple of hours, and then try it again. If it works fine, overheating has been the problem and you may have a motor with bad windings.
By the way my advice is free cuz God is good!
All washing machines use a motor that is responsible for spinning and agitating during the cleaning cycle. Many top load brands use a reversing motor which means the motor spins in one direction for agitating and another for spinning and draining. If the motor does not start, but makes a humming or buzzing noise then it may be defective. To verify if the motor is at fault, remove the drive and /or pump belts and then try to start the motor again. On direct drive models, you will have to disengage the pump and the direct drive coupling to the transmission. If the motor starts, then the problem is with the transmission or the pump and can be further diagnosed by reconnecting each one individually. If the motor does not start or continues to hum or buzz, then it will need to be replaced
Lastly CONTROL BOARD
If the control board does not provide the proper voltage to the drive motor, fill valve, drain motor or door lock then the washer may not start. The main control board on most washers is complicated and difficult to diagnose without proper test equipment and procedures. You can visually inspect the control for signs of electrical arcing or burned or damaged components on the board. You should use caution when replacing a control board as sometimes the burned components are caused by external component failures.

i kindly recommend inspect the control board for any burnt components, damaged traces, or any signs of damage

Did you try a power reset. Disconnect from the mains for 15 minutes. Press and hold the On button for 1 minute. Plug back in. It sounds like a control board issue. They are expensive, so professional diagnosis is advisable.
Also this is a possibility
