Part 5304514774 Washer Door Lock and Switch Assembly
Purpose
Secures the washer door and signals the control board that the unit is safely locked.
Details
The 5304514774 is a genuine OEM door lock and switch assembly for Frigidaire and Electrolux front-load washing machines. This critical safety component contains a solenoid that physically locks the door latch during the wash and spin cycles to prevent accidental opening and water spillage. It also houses the electrical switch that communicates the "door closed" status to the main control board. If this part fails, the washer may refuse to start, fail to spin at high speeds, or display an "E01" or door-lock-related error code. Mechanical failure often occurs if the plastic internal sliders snap or if the solenoid burns out from a power surge. Replacing this assembly restores the safety interlocking system and allows the machine to resume its programmed cycles.
Included Items
One door lock assembly with integrated switch; installation requires a Phillips head screwdriver and involves peeling back the door boot seal (bellow) to access the mounting screws.
