This Part Fixes These Problems

Won't Start

Washer does not respond when Start is pressed — door lock switch fails to signal the control board that the door is securely closed.

dE / dE1 / dE2 Error Code

Control panel displays a door error code even though the door appears fully closed, indicating the lock switch is not detecting closure.

Stops Mid-Cycle

Washer starts a cycle but stops unexpectedly and the door unlocks, caused by an intermittent or failing door lock switch losing contact during operation.

Door Won't Lock

Door closes but will not physically lock or latch before the cycle begins, preventing the wash cycle from starting safely.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Door Lock Switch Has Failed

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

⚠️ Washer won't start — presses Start but nothing happens

⚠️ dE, dE1, or dE2 error code displayed on the control panel

⚠️ Door appears closed but washer still shows "door open" fault

⚠️ Washer stops mid-cycle unexpectedly and the door unlocks

🔍 Diagnosis tip: Use a multimeter to test continuity across the door lock switch terminals. With the door latch engaged, a healthy switch will show continuity. No continuity = switch has failed and needs replacement. Always unplug the washer before testing.

Questions & Answers

Is EBF61315801 the same as EBF61315803 or EBF61315806?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. EBF61315801, EBF61315803, and EBF61315806 are interchangeable part numbers for the same LG washer door lock switch assembly. Multiple customers have confirmed that EBF61315803 fits in place of EBF61315801 without any modification. Always verify your model number first to be certain.
My LG washer shows a dE2 error code. Will replacing this door lock switch fix it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
A dE2 error code on LG front-load washers typically indicates the door is not detected as closed by the control board. The door lock switch assembly (EBF61315801) is the most common cause. Before replacing, check that nothing is blocking the door from fully closing and that the door strike/hook is not broken. If those are fine, replacing this switch will most likely resolve the dE2 error.
How do I know if my door lock switch is bad vs. the door strike hook?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Use a multimeter set to continuity mode. Disconnect the washer from power, unplug the door lock switch harness, and probe the switch terminals while manually engaging the door latch mechanism. If you get no continuity when the latch is engaged, the switch is bad. Also visually inspect the plastic door strike hook — if it is cracked or broken off, the hook will not physically engage the switch, and both parts may need replacement.
Can I install this door lock switch myself, or do I need a technician?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
This is a DIY-friendly repair rated Moderate difficulty. You need a Phillips screwdriver and needle-nose pliers. The full repair typically takes 20–35 minutes. The most involved step is releasing and re-clamping the door boot seal spring clamp. Always unplug the washer before starting. If you are uncomfortable working around appliances, consult a qualified technician.
Does this part fit Kenmore front-load washers as well as LG?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes. LG manufactures many Kenmore front-load washers, particularly the Kenmore 796-series (sold at Sears/Kmart). The EBF61315801 door lock switch is compatible with select Kenmore front-load models that share the same LG platform. Please confirm by checking your full model number against our compatibility list, or contact our support team with your model number for verification.

We typically respond within 1 business day. Include your appliance model number for the fastest answer.
