How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the door lock assembly.
- Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and the strike fully engages the lock. Adjust the door hinges or strike plate if the door is sagging.
- Inspect door strike: Look for cracks or missing pieces on the plastic strike attached to the door. Replace if damaged.
- Access door lock: Remove the front door gasket clamp near the lock side and peel back the bellows to access the door lock assembly. Remove mounting screws and gently pull the lock forward.
- Check wiring: Verify the harness connector is fully seated and wires are not broken.
- Replace door lock assembly: If the lock is physically damaged or tests open on the lock circuits, install a new Frigidaire door lock assembly, reattach wiring, remount, and reinstall the bellows clamp.
