:confused: Fridigaire front loading washer door won't lock. Latch doesn't seem to be broken. How can I tell if it's an issue in the control panel and not the latch?

This service manual will show you how to test things and how to troubleshoot the machine. The problem is likely in the door lock assembly, which fails regularly on these models, but check it out.

The same thing was happening to me. Unplug the washer. You need to do this in order to reset the system. You need to clean the pump filter, located at the bottom of the front loading washer. Make sure you have a cup under the spout when you unscrew it because about 1 1/2 cups of water comes out. After cleaning the filter, plug the washer back in. Turn power on, but don't push "start". Open and shut the door 7 times. This resets the pump motor. Then push "start" and run a quick wash cycle with an empty washer. You should be good as new!
