I had one that the door lock light came on, but the lock mechanism (wax motor) didn't work. There are two micro-switches that are tripped by the latch moving into proper (locked) position and the door being closed. One of those switches could be at fault, the wax motor itself or it could be a problem on the control board.

You have to replace BOTH. The original wax motor design allowed moisture to get inside it, and that was what usually caused control board problems. The original wax motor had a BLACK actuating pin, so if your wax motor has that, you have an old unit that needs to be replaced. The redesigned wax motor has a BROWN actuating pin. As has been said, eBay has a lot of these parts available. You should be fine if you're handy repairing appliances. |

Kim: I got the actuating pin colours exactly BACKWARDS when I posted the preceding message. The ORIGINAL wax motor had the brown pin, and the REDESIGNED one has the black pin. I really do apologise- I should not have posted this off the top of my head. The part number for the redesigned wax motor is 22002119. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa... |
