Frigidaire 131763256 Washer Door Lock Switch Assembly

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 131763256 is a washer door lock switch assembly that secures the door during active wash cycles and verifies door closure before operation begins. When a cycle starts, the assembly engages the latch mechanism and prevents the door from opening mid-cycle. Once the cycle completes, the lock releases and allows safe access to the drum. This component is a direct replacement for residential front-load or top-load washers and is typically installed by appliance service technicians.

The 131763256 door lock switch assembly is designed for residential washing machine applications. It serves as both the mechanical latch and the electronic switch that signals the control board when the door is properly secured. This dual function prevents the machine from running with an unsecured door, protecting both the operator and internal components. Appliance repair technicians replace this part when the washer fails to start, displays a door error code, or does not release the door after a completed cycle.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance technician. Disconnect the washer from its power source before beginning any disassembly or component replacement.

Consult the unit service manual for panel removal procedures specific to the washer model.
