FRIDGIDAIRE FRONT LOAD WASHER DOOR LOCK

Did the screw driver make it out? UNPLUG THE WASHER There are 2 screws at the top of the washer that hold the top cover on. remove the screws and SLIDE the top cover back off the washer. This should expose the door lock assembly, down the right side of the door. There is 1 or 2 screws that need removed and then there is enough wiring that you should be able to pulll the switch where you can work on it.

Now here's the hard part. What probably happened was that the actuator was popped out of its cradle, possibly losing its spring tension. There are clips on on half of the plastic covers(2 halves snapped together). VERY carefully separate the assembly watching for a loose or shooting spring popping out of the covers. If the spring is still on the acauator arm, and hooked in place, good. carefully put the arm back in its cradle. hopefully it snaps in so reassembly is MUCH easier. Simply snap th e assembly back to gether. test the arm with your screw driver to make sure it is springy. Re install the lock where you removed it from the door area. Good Luck.

E40 error is door interlock faulty, could be the lock or it could be the pcb u have to test them.

Yes you can, but you need a flat tool like a "V" end shaped screwdriver because this has locking prongs under the front of mechanism(windshield side).

gently lift up on electric panel on the front side(windshield) use the tool or similar(2 small flatheads will work) between panel and door push in lock clips(front toward back---under electric panel) the panel should come out of the door holder frame to access the wiring connector under it---the electric panel removal and installs from back to front and snaps in place with locking front clips to door panel.

Hi. this is a Door lock mechanism error. here is a description of the code and troubleshooting tips below.

Door lock error

A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be locked. It will try to lock it 6 times before displaying the error.

Potential Causes

• Door Lock Mechanism broken or removed from the Door
• Check Door Lock/Switch Assembly
• Check the wire harness connections to the Door Lock/Switch Assembly and Central Control Unit (CCU)
• Door Lock/Switch Assembly Failure

You may need to replace the door lock mechanism if the wire harness checks out OK. Now, if the wires are connected well and the door lock mechanism if working, this could be a more serious issue concerning the Control board.

You can test the door lock mech by using a volt neelde or multimeter as well. use the connector clips for testing the proer voltage.

Please rate and god bless:)

take the screws off the control panel, then pop the 2 clips. cabinet will pull off. then put the front lip under the lower brace and lower it back onto frame. once you get it lined up snaps the clips back in place
