Fixing a broken front-load washing machine door latch involves replacing the faulty plastic hook assembly or electronic switch. First, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for safety. Second, on front-load models, open the door, peel back the flexible rubber boot seal lip around the latch opening, remove the two mounting screws securing the door switch assembly behind the front panel, and unplug the wiring harness. Third, connect the new OEM switch. You can troubleshoot switch continuity safely using a multimeter. You can verify that your repair is successful when reattaching the boot seal, plugging the unit in, and closing the door causes the lock to engage and start a cycle normally.
