Use this guide to replace the door latch in your LG front load washing machine.
The door latch is electronically actuated. If your washer's door won't latch, you may need to replace this part.
This guide will work for most LG front-load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
