Whirlpool Washer Door Latch Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Whirlpool washer won't start, and you hear clicking when you try to lock the door. That's the door latch assembly failing — one of the most common repair parts across Whirlpool's CAE and MVWP series washers. This hub covers the W10482836 door latch assembly, which fits over 20 Whirlpool models including the CAE2743BQ0, CAE2745FQ0, MVWP575GW0, and MVWP575GW1 series.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

The W10482836 latch assembly (also sold as WPW10482836, AP6022148, or PS11755478) fits specific Whirlpool top-load and front-load washers. Your model number is stamped on a tag inside the washer door frame or on the back panel near the water inlet valves. Match your complete model number — including the suffix (like BQ0 or FQ1) — against the compatibility list below to confirm fitment.

About This Replacement Part

The door latch assembly is the mechanism that locks your washer door during the wash cycle. When it fails, you'll typically see one of two problems: the door won't lock at all (washer won't start), or the door locks but the washer doesn't recognize it's locked (control board shows an error). The W10482836 is a direct-fit replacement for the original Whirlpool part, including the strike mechanism and electrical contacts that signal the control board. It's a critical safety component — if the door can't lock, the washer won't run.

Compatible Whirlpool Washer Models

This door latch assembly fits the following Whirlpool washer models. If you don't see your exact model listed, check the complete compatibility data on the product page or contact us with your full model number.

Replacement Cost & Availability

The W10482836 washer door latch assembly is priced at $68.99. That's significantly less than a service call, and this is a part most owners can replace themselves with basic tools. The latch assembly includes all necessary mounting hardware and electrical connectors — you don't need to purchase additional components.

Why Choose the W10482836 Over Aftermarket Alternatives?

This replacement part meets Whirlpool's original specifications for fit and electrical function. Cheaper generic latches sometimes use weaker plastic housings or contacts that don't maintain proper voltage readings, which can cause intermittent failures or error codes even after installation. The W10482836 uses the same latch mechanism design as the factory part, so you're getting the reliability Whirlpool engineered into these washers.

Need Help Identifying Your Part?

If your washer door won't lock, first verify the latch is actually the problem. Press the door firmly and listen — you should hear a distinct click as the strike engages. If there's no click, or if the washer displays a door lock error (common codes: F5 E2, LdL, or dL), the latch assembly is likely faulty.
