EBF64556603 Genuine Door Lock Switch Assembly for LG Washing Machines, LG Locker Switch Door Interlock Replacement

LG calls this part a switch assembly, locker, which is its name for the door lock. EBF64556603 is the genuine LG item, and in LG washing machines the door lock holds the door shut during a wash and confirms to the control board that it's safely locked. No models are on file for this number, so match EBF64556603 to the label on your existing lock or your washer's parts list before ordering.

LG washer won't start or the door stays shut? Check the door lock

Before a wash starts, the board tells the lock to engage, then checks a switch inside it to confirm the door is secure. Only then will the washer fill and spin. When the lock fails, the machine may refuse to start, stop with a door error on the display, click repeatedly while trying to lock, or finish a cycle and leave the door locked shut. A broken door hook or catch, or a badly sagging door, can cause similar faults, so check that the hook lines up with the lock before replacing it.

Replacing the door lock

Switch the washer off at the wall and unplug it. If the door is stuck shut with water inside, drain it through the pump filter first. On front loaders the lock sits behind the door seal, so you'll need to release the outer seal clamp and fold the seal back to reach the screws. Photograph the plug before disconnecting it. Run a short rinse cycle to test the new lock.

Questions about this part

My LG door won't open after a wash. Is it the lock?

Not always. The door stays locked while there's water in the drum or the drum is still turning, so first check the washer has drained fully. Turn it off, wait a few minutes and try again. If it stays locked with an empty drum, the lock or its control is likely at fault.
