- Lock assembly replacement
- Lock, unlock and full-cycle test
Why the price varies

- Broken door strike or hinge that also needs replacement
When this repair makes sense
- Almost always; door locks are a moderate repair
When replacement may be the better choice
- Not a reason to replace a washer on its own
Signs the door lock may not be the problem
- A door that will not unlock may just still have water in the drum; a drain problem keeps it locked for safety.
- A cracked door strike or sagging door can prevent locking while the lock itself works.
- A washer that waits a few minutes before unlocking after a cycle is behaving as designed.
