Would it be possible to also get the first 3 pages that tell how to replace the latch? Many thanks!

Many thanks! petruncola, I've attached all 4 pages. (If this copy too fuzzy, let me know and I'll try one with a higher resolution.) Good luck with the repair Robbyrobby1001 attached the following image(s):

I've been to three repair shops today and none of them have the latch on any diagrams. All three repair shops told me I had to order the complete door to get the parts needed at a price of $60. I found this post, just now called Electrolux and my parts are on the way for free and will be here on Wed. Thanks everyone BTY I know the kit number is listed in the bulletin but here if is anyway. The kit number is 137146000 and it's listed at $6.50

Have an Electrolux EWFLW65HIW washer. When the unit was moved the soap dispenser was damaged. Before it was damaged, if the "button" was pressed, the drawer popped open. Today, the service technician replaced the whole drawer unit (said the whole thing had to be replaced) but the drawer still doesn't pop open. We have to manually pull it open. He couldn't find any spring on the schematic and doesn't know how to fix it further. What are we missing? Thanks.

As you close the drawer, a small flange on the drawer pushes against a spring-loaded plunger that's part of the housing, not the drawer. I've circled the flange and the plunger on the attached photos.I don't know if the plunger is available as a separate part; but a replacement for the complete housing is available from a number of parts dealers, at prices ranging from $82 to $94 (plus shipping). Find it, by searching for part number 137108710 or 137108700.Incidentally, my washer is the same model as yours (Model EWFLW65HIW

Thank you so much for posting this information! We've been living with packaging tape to hold the drawer closed for at least a year now. Ten minutes after I found this thread, our latch kit is on its way to us.
If you call, be sure to reference Service Flash LN0903, in case they try to say that there haven't been any recalls, etc.

Robby In figure 9 of the Service Flash, it says to attach the spring to the hole in the drawer - which one? The picture is too fuzzy, and I can't figure it out.

I see what you mean about the picture being too fuzzy. I've attached a snapshot of my drawer (with its front cover removed. It shows the hole and spring more clearly; but let me know if you need any additional photos. Good luck with the repair.robby1001 attached the following image(s):

Washer is now repaired, and I can throw out the masking tape!
