      Nothing, I got the part, I changed (pain in the ass) it and not results, same freaking shit, next step I think is call a freaking technician and pay between $300 to 400 dollars, I know what he's going to say " YOU NEED A NEW MOTHER BOARD, frustrating...😤😤😤😤...thx anyway.

    Despite the challenge working with big hands in the small space, got the replacement installed and am back in business.
    Mine had tiny twist ties holding cable so I had to replace with thinner guage wire to securely hold it in place. Wasn't confident it eould work, but all is good.
    Many thanks.

    I really appreciate this video! I have the exact same washer as you have, and your video was easy to follow. Like you, I had trouble finding the 04 model, but I was able to overnight ship the 02 model from Amazon (gift card I had saved took a chunk of change off the price!). I replaced the lock switch today. I was sick when I did it, so I had to take a few breaks in the middle to lie down. Actually, I was halfway through the install when I realized I was installing the old lock. I probably wouldn't have noticed if the model numbers weren't different, so glad I went with the 02 model. Also, I got the washer used, and the previous owner actually put the lock wire under the support bar, attaching it with one of the blue clips. The way they positioned this clip, the part that you squeeze was on top instead of the bottom, and I spent a long time trying to slip my needle nose pliers into the gap to squeeze the top. I actually ended up breaking it. Luckily, the old owner also used wire to secure the wire from the switch, so I made use of that and pulled the wire through so there wasn't any extra slack. The way the old owner had it set up, it worked for me for about a little over a year, so I'm fairly optimistic. When I called the LG repair people, they quoted me $400 just to come out and look, and their soonest availability would have been a week out. Thanks to your video, I saved a bunch of money, and I've been able to do the laundry for the first time in two weeks. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for posting this. Repaired my washing machine because of it for just the cost of the part! Not going to lie though - getting that damn switch to come out of its socket took a LONG time. But got there in the end and it's working a charm! I also took the top panel off to make things less fiddly but that was just my preference.

    I just took the white box apart and there are two leads that need to make contact at different times when the lock is sliding. My contact points were corroded. I scraped them real quick with a mini flat head and now it works. Bad thing is I lost one of the two screws 😂. Hopefully it got tangled up in the clothes already in the drum.

      I considered disassembling my broken switch to see what was going on inside. And possibly repairing and keeping it on hand in case I need it again in the future.
      But, I didn’t… thanks for opening it up and sharing the results!

      @brianthomason6475 9 месяцев назад

      @@HowtoandReviewsOfficial mine was clicking like 10 times so I knew something still worked. I thought it was misaligned and not sliding all the way in so that was the only reason I took it apart. The 2 leads looks like the solder popped off but the sliding lock actually moves it off and on, up and down, depending on different sections of the slide. Great video!

      Unfortunately, I do not have any additional experience or advice.
      I had a whirl pool washing machine a few years ago with an error. I replaced the part twice and it didn’t fix it. I had a repair person inspect it, and they agreed that part was the problem and recommended to try replacing the part one more time, because maybe the first two were defective. Third attempt didn’t work, so I bought a new washing machine. Unfortunately, that’s how it goes sometimes.
