The General Electric WH01X28354 Washer Door Lock is a mechanical and electrical interlock assembly to secure the appliance door during operating cycles. It will activate a latch during the wash cycle to keep the door closed when the machine's drum is moving. It is mounted in front of the washer frame and is connected to the washing machine control circuit via wiring terminals. It works via an internal actuator that is controlled by electronic signals from the control board. It regulates the entry of the drum and balances the cycles while washing and spinning the appliance.
