A washing machine door lock switch is a safety device that prevents the washing machine from starting if the door is not closed properly. It is typically located on the inside of the washing machine door and is connected to a circuit board. When the door is closed, the switch closes the circuit and allows the washing machine to start. When the door is opened, the switch opens the circuit and prevents the washing machine from starting.
The washing machine door lock switch can fail for a number of reasons, including wear and tear, water damage, and electrical problems. If the switch fails, the washing machine will not start and may display an error code.
If you suspect that your washing machine door lock switch is faulty, you should contact a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair. The technician will be able to test the switch and determine if it is the source of the problem. If the switch is faulty, it can be replaced with a new one.
