My front load washer would was clothes just fine but would not go into the high speed final spin. The tub would just rotate a few times in each direction and then finish the cycle.

I researched this problem on line and came across www.AppliancePartsPros.com. This is great, they have diagrams and everything. Very easy to see what the part is and how big it is. I read other peoples post about similar problems and the majority of them fixed it with replacing the door lock Assembly Part #AP4455026. Again I chose this to start with because a majority of people solved it this way and it was the cheaper start.

My next problem was I had no idea how to get to the part to change it out. I found www.************************.com and went to their video library. They show how to do some of the replacement of parts. I liked it becasue it showed me how to at least get to the guts of the machine.

Got the part today and about 2 minutes later I have a fully functioning washer and a happy wife.:D

Thank you to Aplliance Parts Pros and Repair ************ and to all those who have shared there experices!

Hello MoFoAL,

Honestly I chose the least expencive part to try first. I am a High Speed Automation mechanic and this was just a gut instinct. I have a feeling that the little module on the bottom of the locking mechanism went out. The new one I recived had a different type on it. Sorry i don't have any concrete reason on why I did what I did. Hope this helps.

Yeah,i thought about the control board to. I read the previous post and found that the majority of the problems were fixed by the lock mechanism. This is how I came to start there. You can search for instructional videos on how to change out these parts. The lock mechanism is easy. Took me 5 minutes. Good luck.

Congratulations, it's a good feeling. I was excited also. Keep this website handy for future problems. Always belive in your self. Glad I could help.
