The Whirlpool W11035628 is a vital component of your front-load washing machine, notably the door lock assembly. This lock is essential for keeping the security and efficient operation of the washing machine. Whirlpool manufactures this genuine OEM part, which guarantees compliance and working with your appliance. The W11035628 functions by strongly locking the washer door during operation. This ceases the door from unintentionally closing while the machine is filled with water, preventing any possible leaks and guaranteeing that clothes are completely agitated and cleaned. The lock can be removed only after the cycle is complete and the washing machine has reached a safe, cool temperature. This seemingly fundamental element provides enormous advantages. It safeguards your laundry room from water damage by preserving wash water restricted within the machine.
