This video showed and proved to me that is time for a new machine. Paul you are great explaining how this switches works. It is terrible, they should not make it bi-metal enforced, this is really old design. It is so much easier to do by computer program, Water is out of the machine to the door level? yes - no if yes, open door immidiatelly if no restart a drain cycle, tell the customer water in machine to high, draining. then open door. Paul you are did a fantastic job!
At 5 min 26 sec, finally a clue as to which wires to bridge to bypass a malfunctioning door-lock. Remove the door-lock after disconnecting the 3 wires leading to the lock. Bridge common to live. (Keep neutral isolated with insulating tape). Door-lock for my 21 year old machine no longer available so bypass was essential & machine is now working great.
Very well explained ! Never thought that they would use a heater mechanism to allow / disallow the latch to open. All along the years, could not understand why the small delay at the end of the cycle. Thank you.
Thank you for the information. I did use this knowledge to fix my LG front load washer with the DE error. No one else shows how the latch works. You did!!!!! After some thinking i decide not to buy new part, instead i take it apart to bypass by fooling it. Wedging a piece of plastic below the contact strip so it makes contact with the upper one did the trick. Very obviously the heating bimetallic strip was bad on mine thus causing the DE error. Furthermore I broke the plastic pin that prevents the door from opening once it is running. It works. No part replacement requires. Door can be opened during use but I do not care as long as it works. Besides who would open the door while it is running. Thanks again for showing how it works when no one else does. Knowing how it works is the key to figure out how to fix it or by pass it! I did and it worked. The metallic heating strip is common to fail as it heats up and cools down throughout its life and once that thing is toasted there will be no more contact goes in and out thus the DE error. Well if that were the case then i will fool it by providing the missing door lock signal mysel by bypassing it. Many appliance forum repair people said it can't be done. Well they either want to sell new part or don't know themselves how to bypass. I beg to differ!!!!!! Hope this helps someone. Attention! this mod. requires disassemble the latch switch assembly which is very easy and understand what i talk about here to do it. Good luck!

Very good video when he mentioned and ohm reading on the heaters it is open or closed you dont need a resistance measurement in numbers its open or closed.
Thanks for this crash course in washing machine anatomy! It's a real pain if you can't solve a problem just because you don't know how the parts you are struggling with actually look like. It's always the same: as long as things work, I don't even ask myself how they do so. It's only when something stops doing what it's supposed to that people like me start asking questions xD!
I have a Next dinamic Hoover washer/dryer ,when i turn dial to program sometimes i get the padlock on display even though i have not pressed the start button and after a few seconds i get E16 error , i looked up the error for this and found out its the heater eliment could be faulty i changed the heater eliment but still get the same error code , somtimes the machine works ok and other times when i have not used it for a few days the error comes back on, i checked all possible reasons with pump blockages or water and drain pipes but found they are all ok, i think it could be the lock that you showed or something else!
great info i to thought it would be a simple micro switch to lock unlock the door but n as i got inside witch then found myself watching your video to see the working as i thought id be able to just bypass it for now as the mrs is on my case now as like most stuff around the house its left till last minute now we have a pile of washing the mrs will have me doing laudry runs if not sorted soon. but thanks again for the info on the door workings even though i learnt something today and it wasnt as basic as i first thought.
My LG front door washing machine door is locking properly, but the the door lock sign in the board doesn't light and hence the machine cannot be switched on. Appreciate your guidance to solve this problem.
thanks for the video...is it possible to circumvent this lock and make the connection always closed as opposed to whent he door is closed. I understand the safety concers...my problem is that the interlock for the model of my washing machine is not avl.
Very well explained.My problem is that I tried to open the door after 15 minutes .It did open but it cracked .So now even if the door lock is in order and shifts but the door is not shutting. The crack I tried to stick as it was a hairline fracture but am now not able to shutbthe door. Its a WW 1995 model. Excellent machine .I wonder if the door can be replaced in India.
The problem ridden Whirlpool Duet HE3/HE3t series is different. One connector contains 2 wires that determine if the door is closed (switch - normally open circuit / closed when button is depressed). Another connector contains 2 wires that determines if the lock is locked or not (switch - normally open circuit / closed when lock mechanism is down). The final connector contains three wires. It connects to for lack of correct word - a center tapped solenoid. Apply voltage to middle and "outside" - and door unlocks. Apply voltage to middle and "inside" and door locks. Unfortunately, I have a short in one side of the coil. Hopefully I can find the part without purchasing the entire $80-$100 assembly.
Hi Ive got a whirlpool washing machine which shows the door open LED. I bought a new door interlock and replaced it, and it is still the same. Whirlpool have quoted £129 call out, £100 an hour labour and extra for parts needed, plus VAT, thats more than the machine is worth. Any ideas where I should look next? As they wont tell me, but they sold me the interlock. Thanks Nick
A while ago on TH-cam, you ask me a question about your LG washer. I just thought I’d let you know that I have now made a complete playlist to assist you in any repairs that you ever have. If it helps, you don’t forget to share it with your friends who may also own an LG. th-cam.com/video/w5dZ4Pj8Jdo/w-d-xo.html
I have a Kenmore Washing machine 110.20222510, it is less that two years old. 3 months ago it held my Fiance's hostage until we took it apart. We bought a new lock assembly, replaced it and did one load of laundry. On load number 2 it locked the clothes in it again! So Kenmore machine that is less than 24 months old has had it's lock assembly replaced twice. What do I do?
I have a LG front loader washing machine, model number WD-8005. It has a DE error. I have checked the door switch and that tests out fine. I would appreciate any advice on what could be causing this problem. There is no 220V AC that across the door lock contacts. The main circuit board number is 6870EC9168A. If you have a circuit diagram that will be great. Thank you.
Long shot ask... My door latch on my bosch is in the closed / locked position but the door isn't closed. I have the door latch out of the machine but can't see a way to release it to open again. It's a dks67617.. Don't suppose you'd know how to activate the switch? Thanks!
I have just had a look to see if I could find you the workshop manual, but I've had no joy. I'm sorry I have done a video on how to release stuck door locks, but I'm not sure this will assist you. Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. I hope you can get your machine working again. glad we could help you Marc Murphy this is for you th-cam.com/users/shortse432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's what keeps this channel going.

is there a way to know perfectly live neutral and common, when we use multimeter which is live which is neutral. and also what is out put of door lock is it neutral or live to pcb board.

Hi Paul..Please could you help me with my wash..a Samsung B1045av..where the selector Knob freeze in just one position (in my case (cotton program) and due this the machine do not start the programs..Other buttons are working fine..When i play start..only a low noise I can hear..maybe the interloock..only after appears DE code..for door problems...But I think the interock is not the main problem of the circuit board..I think.. Thanks Roberto Daltro
Is it the full 220 volts accross the coil and does the neutral switch on and off to prevent overheating of the coil or is there a resistance on the circuit.

could you offer me a quick help? I have a blown out transistor on the circuit board. z0607, someone linked it to the door lock mechanism, but mine functions just right, just that program on the machine stops immediately after 2-3 seconds. my question is, for testing purposes, if I disconnect the door lock, would it ignore it and start the program like it normally would?
Hi there I have a machine that locks but the locked indicator on the front panel does not illuminate. The machine fills with water but the motor to turn the drum never runs. Does the circuit need a signal from the door lock before it allows the motor to run? It is a curry’s essential C912WM18
if it fills then its ok. check motor brushes Can you do us a favour and please share this video on your timeline Facebook twitter etc . This will help other people who can’t get engineers out to help them. th-cam.com/video/rFyGAHVFUW8/w-d-xo.html&t facebook.com/how.to.repair.appliances/ Stay safe

Great video- I'm guessing various models of interlocks either switch the 0v or some switch the live 240v down the common connection. Is this correct? Many thx
I brought a new washer door lock assembly and latch because the washer would fill up but the door would not lock causing the washer not to work. After replacing the switch on the door and the latch the door still not wanting to lock, any ideas? I've already tested the switch and it's fine.

I am a missionary in Tanzania and have use of a whirlpool washing machine. The lid lock seems to have a short in it some how as the led light flashes and the washer cycles in and out of proper functioning as contact is or is not present in the latch mechanism.Replacement parts here are very difficult to acquire and or procure so can you please explain how I can temporarily or possibly semi permanently bypass this switch?

I don't think anybody understood one bit i did not,and i just wanted to bypass it without blowing the expensive module; what is the common and neutral and live for?
My switch is just like the one you power up and show how it works. I sanded all the parts that had carbon build up put it back together and it works just fine. guess I saved 30 euro?

Hi guys, my Ariston washer dryer combo won't recognize that the door is locked. I hear the lock latch, physically it won't open, but the door lock indicator (button with LED) turns from yellow to red and the unit won't continue. Any ideas?

Paul you are great explaining how this switches works. It is terrible, they should not make it bi-metal enforced, this is really old design.
It is so much easier to do by computer program,
Water is out of the machine to the door level? yes - no
if yes, open door immidiatelly

(Keep neutral isolated with insulating tape). Door-lock for my 21 year old machine no longer available so bypass was essential & machine is now working great.
I did the same thing. Parts left off cost you nothing!
I got 2 browns and a red. For 210 volts only across 2 browns. Any ideas which ones I link
Very well explained ! Never thought that they would use a heater mechanism to allow / disallow the latch to open. All along the years, could not understand why the small delay at the end of the cycle. Thank you.

Wedging a piece of plastic below the contact strip so it makes contact with the upper one did the trick. Very obviously the heating bimetallic strip was bad on mine thus causing the DE error. Furthermore I broke the plastic pin that prevents the door from opening once it is running.
It works. No part replacement requires. Door can be opened during use but I do not care as long as it works. Besides who would open the door while it is running.
Thanks again for showing how it works when no one else does. Knowing how it works is the key to figure out how to fix it or by pass it! I did and it worked.

thx for the video, very nice explanation, would be nice to have such a test box also, did you make it yourself :D ?
one day my mom's LG machine just jumped the fuses in the house and after that starting the program after a moment would give the dE (door) error
I basically made an extra feather connecting live to common and pushing down live closer to common. worked just fine, the machine is now showing the door locked indication all the time
the door still does lock in my case, just it takes 10 seconds after the program started now. so in my case the heating is still working it showed 800 ohm also between live and negative, it's just not strong enough anymore as it used to be
i dont think much of your logic... you need to think again.
Never , ever, by pass a safety feature!!!!!!!!!!.........
Anyone could open the door while the machine is in full spin,, children love to experiment, and will open the door, they could get a limb ripped off in the death roll of a crocodile.that is your machine. i am sure the judge will think you were very clever before he sends you to jail.
please buy a new part before you kill some one.
Thankyou soo much for this video! I thought I’d have to remove the whole top & front panels, or book a service call! This took just minutes to fix & saved me $$! Happy dance!!
This is a very long detailed video, but you didn't really explain what you were doing with the multimeter. What are you measuring? What units? What readings are you expecting?
He's checking resistance and checking when two terminals short, hence that's how this lock works, its a button basically.

It's always the same: as long as things work, I don't even ask myself how they do so. It's only when something stops doing what it's supposed to that people like me start asking questions xD!
Thank you just what I needed, I was 90% there and you gave me the confidence 10%. Well explained and good video.
Glad it helped! We now have Live Q@A's weekly on our live show, see our home page th-cam.com/users/How-2-repair for the next date
Great video. Thanks. Can you tell how to identify the wire? which one is live, neutral and common as they are same color and no any sign.
I have a Next dinamic Hoover washer/dryer ,when i turn dial to program sometimes i get the padlock on display even though i have not pressed the start button and after a few seconds i get E16 error , i looked up the error for this and found out its the heater eliment could be faulty i changed the heater eliment but still get the same error code , somtimes the machine works ok and other times when i have not used it for a few days the error comes back on, i checked all possible reasons with pump blockages or water and drain pipes but found they are all ok, i think it could be the lock that you showed or something else!
great info i to thought it would be a simple micro switch to lock unlock the door but n as i got inside witch then found myself watching your video to see the working as i thought id be able to just bypass it for now as the mrs is on my case now as like most stuff around the house its left till last minute now we have a pile of washing the mrs will have me doing laudry runs if not sorted soon. but thanks again for the info on the door workings even though i learnt something today and it wasnt as basic as i first thought.
really great explanation of how the switch works, thanks
My LG front door washing machine door is locking properly, but the the door lock sign in the board doesn't light and hence the machine cannot be switched on.
Appreciate your guidance to solve this problem.
But you haven't mentioned what's the range for Ohm resistance for good or bad door locker switch? say for 3pin terminals.
thanks man, you saved me a $200 service call.
Hi there where does the green cable go in hot point while fixing the door lock?
professional and efficent.⚙
thanks for the video...is it possible to circumvent this lock and make the connection always closed as opposed to whent he door is closed. I understand the safety concers...my problem is that the interlock for the model of my washing machine is not avl.
Very well explained.My problem is that I tried to open the door after 15 minutes .It did open but it cracked .So now even if the door lock is in order and shifts but the door is not shutting. The crack I tried to stick as it was a hairline fracture but am now not able to shutbthe door. Its a WW 1995 model. Excellent machine .I wonder if the door can be replaced in India.
The problem ridden Whirlpool Duet HE3/HE3t series is different.
One connector contains 2 wires that determine if the door is closed (switch - normally open circuit / closed when button is depressed).
Another connector contains 2 wires that determines if the lock is locked or not (switch - normally open circuit / closed when lock mechanism is down).
The final connector contains three wires. It connects to for lack of correct word - a center tapped solenoid. Apply voltage to middle and "outside" - and door unlocks. Apply voltage to middle and "inside" and door locks.
Unfortunately, I have a short in one side of the coil. Hopefully I can find the part without purchasing the entire $80-$100 assembly.
Hi Ive got a whirlpool washing machine which shows the door open LED. I bought a new door interlock and replaced it, and it is still the same. Whirlpool have quoted £129 call out, £100 an hour labour and extra for parts needed, plus VAT, thats more than the machine is worth.
Any ideas where I should look next? As they wont tell me, but they sold me the interlock.
Thanks
Nick
Hi, very good education.my LG direct drive door lock washing machine has no. 1_3_2 pls which them is connected to nutral (-) point? Thanks.
A while ago on TH-cam, you ask me a question about your LG washer. I just thought I’d let you know that I have now made a complete playlist to assist you in any repairs that you ever have.
If it helps, you don’t forget to share it with your friends who may also own an LG.

I have a Kenmore Washing machine 110.20222510, it is less that two years old. 3 months ago it held my Fiance's hostage until we took it apart. We bought a new lock assembly, replaced it and did one load of laundry. On load number 2 it locked the clothes in it again! So Kenmore machine that is less than 24 months old has had it's lock assembly replaced twice. What do I do?
i fixed my washer by self thanks bro ❤
Thanks for help...but can you tell me how to bypass this switch? tkx
I have a LG front loader washing machine, model number WD-8005. It has a DE error. I have checked the door switch and that tests out fine. I would appreciate any advice on what could be causing this problem. There is no 220V AC that across the door lock contacts. The main circuit board number is 6870EC9168A. If you have a circuit diagram that will be great. Thank you.
So does this mean that turning the washing power of at the wall will always release the thermal lock eventually after a couple of minutes?
Long shot ask... My door latch on my bosch is in the closed / locked position but the door isn't closed. I have the door latch out of the machine but can't see a way to release it to open again. It's a dks67617.. Don't suppose you'd know how to activate the switch? Thanks!
I have just had a look to see if I could find you the workshop manual, but I've had no joy. I'm sorry I have done a video on how to release stuck door locks, but I'm not sure this will assist you. Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. I hope you can get your machine working again. glad we could help you Marc Murphy this is for you th-cam.com/users/shortse432SAb2g08 please remember to subscribe as that's what keeps this channel going.

is there a way to know perfectly live neutral and common, when we use multimeter which is live which is neutral. and also what is out put of door lock is it neutral or live to pcb board.

Hi Paul..Please could you help me with my wash..a Samsung B1045av..where the selector Knob freeze in just one position (in my case (cotton program) and due this the machine do not start the programs..Other buttons are working fine..When i play start..only a low noise I can hear..maybe the interloock..only after appears DE code..for door problems...But I think the interock is not the main problem of the circuit board..I think.. Thanks Roberto Daltro
Can you please put a link to your shop in the comments, as every time I try to use the shop link, it says error
Is it the full 220 volts accross the coil and does the neutral switch on and off to prevent overheating of the coil or is there a resistance on the circuit.
Great video for the repairmen
Sir if any problem testing time if live and neutral is chnge.,
Thanks very much for the useful video including seeing INSIDE the interlock device.
Thank you for the information. I did use this knowledge to fix my Brandt front load washer

ninguno en español lo siento
could you offer me a quick help? I have a blown out transistor on the circuit board. z0607, someone linked it to the door lock mechanism, but mine functions just right, just that program on the machine stops immediately after 2-3 seconds. my question is, for testing purposes, if I disconnect the door lock, would it ignore it and start the program like it normally would?
was hoping you could give me a heads up on the test rig you used in video ,if i could ask for circuit hope you wouldnt mind thanks
Hi there I have a machine that locks but the locked indicator on the front panel does not illuminate. The machine fills with water but the motor to turn the drum never runs. Does the circuit need a signal from the door lock before it allows the motor to run? It is a curry’s essential C912WM18
if it fills then its ok. check motor brushes
Can you do us a favour and please share this video on your timeline Facebook twitter etc .
This will help other people who can’t get engineers out to help them.

my washing machine is ariston washing machine ar6f105
Great video- I'm guessing various models of interlocks either switch the 0v or some switch the live 240v down the common connection. Is this correct? Many thx
Hi Paul.. Great video as usual... What if the connector which connects the door latch is burnt. How to change the connector??

Hello Sir,
do you know which pin has which function on this relais?
Link in comment above
Thank You
Awsome demonstration and explanation!
So the neutral is switched on and off and the live is constantly on??
Excellent and well shown demo, Paul. Thanks.
hello . i know these terms phase. neutral. ground .. but . what is the meaning of ''common'' . c ? . in one of the youtube video . repair man says that you can do direct connect between the phase and common wire . ..is this true ?
I am a missionary in Tanzania and have use of a whirlpool washing machine. The lid lock seems to have a short in it some how as the led light flashes and the washer cycles in and out of proper functioning as contact is or is not present in the latch mechanism.Replacement parts here are very difficult to acquire and or procure so can you please explain how I can temporarily or possibly semi permanently bypass this switch?
NEVER BYPASS A SAFETY FEATURE......... MANUFACTURES LIKE SAVING MONEY SO IF IT WAS NOT NEEDED THEY WOULD NOT FIT IT.......... IT WILL RIP SOME ONES ARM OFF
I really appreciate this video, but would have learned a bit more if you had shown a schematic.

Hi there I have a problem with my washing machine when I turn it on and the red light flashes when I close the door and it clicks and I press the start button the red light goes off and the washing machines doesn't fill or start what can the problem be
I don't think anybody understood one bit i did not,and i just wanted to bypass it without blowing the expensive module; what is the common and neutral and live for?
Is the PTC heater 240v or something less?
It has to be 120 volt, the same as what the washer is feed with. They might be rated to 240 volt but Ive never heard of one .
Great video!
My switch is just like the one you power up and show how it works. I sanded all the parts that had carbon build up put it back together and it works just fine.
guess I saved 30 euro?
Thanks so much for the video if I ever need parts and they don't have it in town I feel I owe you and will try to send business your way.
I could buy you that beer i guess but I am unemployed and well fixed my machine at no cost.
Excelente explicación! thank.

How can I check the interlocks in washing machine the model is bosch logixx 9 varioperfect e-nr WAS24422GR/07. The code of the original door lock is 00619468. Contacts are 3,2,1 which bridge cables.because I understand I have problem with the washing machine if anyone knows let's answer thanks
Hi guys, my Ariston washer dryer combo won't recognize that the door is locked. I hear the lock latch, physically it won't open, but the door lock indicator (button with LED) turns from yellow to red and the unit won't continue. Any ideas?
No error code, flashing or diagnostic info other than the red LED on the door lock button; that's all. Thanks in advance!
Can this stop my machine from finishing cycles
What voltage is the switch running on?
220V ( in Portugal)
Thanks so much helpful vedio for me
no washing board ok water level sincer ok what is problem. sir?
What if you changed the lock but still won't lock cant hear it even try to lock when the door is closed and push the wash button nothing happens
It is very interesting and helpful, Thanks.
Excelente explicación!
Great info!!!
and how can i by pass it
thank you so much
