💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Door Lock Switch the Problem?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Washer door refuses to lock — cycle will not start at all

⚠️ Door unlocks or pops open mid-cycle during wash or spin

⚠️ Washer stops unexpectedly mid-cycle or runs longer than normal

⚠️ Control panel shows a door lock error code (dL, dS, or similar)

🛠 Quick Test: Set your multimeter to continuity mode. With the washer unplugged, probe the door lock switch terminals. A healthy switch shows continuity when the door is fully latched. No continuity = replace the switch. Also inspect the door strike and latch hook — a bent strike can fool you into replacing a good lock.

Questions & Answers

Will DC34-00028A fit my Samsung WF45T6000AW/A5?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The WF45T6000AW/A5 is a confirmed compatible model for part DC34-00028A. This door lock switch uses the same mounting bracket, connector, and 120V/16A electrical rating as the original factory part on that machine.
What error code does a bad door lock switch trigger on Samsung washers?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
A faulty DC34-00028A door lock switch most commonly triggers error codes dL (door lock), dS (door switch), or LE on Samsung front-load washers. If the washer won't start and you see one of these codes, test the switch with a multimeter for continuity before replacing it.
Is this an OEM Samsung part or an aftermarket replacement?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
This is an aftermarket (non-OEM) replacement part manufactured to the same AC 120V / 16A specifications as the original Samsung DC34-00028A. It is not made by or sourced from Samsung, but it is engineered for a direct fit and equivalent function at a significantly lower price than the OEM part.
My washer door locks fine but the cycle still won't start — could it still be the door lock switch?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Yes, it's possible. The door lock switch has both a mechanical latch solenoid and an internal micro-switch that sends a signal to the control board. The door can physically latch while the electrical switch portion fails to send the 'door closed' signal. Use a multimeter to test continuity across the switch terminals with the door closed. No continuity means the switch needs replacement even if it feels locked.
How difficult is it to replace the DC34-00028A door lock switch myself?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Replacing this part is rated Moderate difficulty and typically takes 20–35 minutes. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver and optionally a Torx T20 bit. The main steps are: remove the dispenser drawer, lift the console panel, disconnect the wiring harness, swap the old switch for the new one, and reassemble. Always unplug the washer first. Most homeowners with basic DIY comfort can complete this repair without a technician.
