Door latch (on inside door) broke into 3 pieces. Replaced, but door does not lock tight enough to run (unless pressure is placed on the door). So, it will only run if you hold pressure on the door.

I have ordered part #131763202, door lock assembly, but it does not appear to fit with the now replaced door latch.

Thanks,
Palmbound

Since it ran when there was pressure on the door I don't think the lock assembly was the issue.

I am thinking that some type of blow or something like that caused the door lock catch to break and this may have thrown the entire door assembly out of its proper positions. Check and see if something is not warped or bent.

If you bought the part from this site call APP and discuss the issue with their parts department. You will need the model number and the serial number to make sure you have the right part.

Good luck.
