Dennis,

A model number would really help, but.

You most likely have a defective latch assembly.

You'll need to dismantle the door and or control panel to access the latch.

A model number is important, the model / serial tag is usually located on the top left tub or door when you open it.

:cool:

Great,

Thanks for the model number,

That made both of our jobs easier :)

That particular unit has an adjustable door catch assembly, that may be all you need to do.

In the center of the top tub flange, you'll see your spring loaded catch
Under that (in the lip of the tub opening) You'll find a hole in the flange, with a 5/16 head screw.

Loosen the screw 1/2 to 3/4 turn, and tap in on the catch, with the handle of you nut driver,lightly,(some guys used to mark the catch with a pen and tap until the mark disapeared).

You may only need a 1/16 to 1/8 inch movement backwards to properly adjust the catch, to activate the switches, I rarely needed more than a 1/4 inch.

Sorry, there is no PDF file for the service manual, so I can't email you anything to help you out there, but I'm sure you'll be able to find and adjust everything with the information I've given you.

:cool:

Yes, you can check the switches and the latch assembly.

You'll need to remove the inner door liner from the door asembly.

You need to turn the power off to the unit first !!!

You should be able to visually inspect the switch housing, wiring and switches from there, the metal reinforcement bar will have a tendency to get in the way, just let it hang down along the side of the outer door, while you're working.

When you put it back together, the adjustment on the latch, it should be a snug fit when the door is latched.
