This hook locker, commonly referred to as a door lock strike is specially designed for LG washers. It is a small, metal plate that is attached to the washer door. When the door is closed it engages with the door lock mechanism to keep the door securely shut while the washer is running. If it is damaged, worn down, or corroded, it will be unable to engage with the locking mechanism and prevent your washer from closing or staying shut. You may notice that your washer will not start or stops running mid-cycle. You will need to replace the door strike to fix the washer.

This is a door lock switch, compatible with various models of LG washing machines. This door lock switch is designed to communicate to the control board when the door of the washer is closed, so the door can lock and allow the washing cycle to safely begin. If your washer is having difficulty locking before it begins its washing cycle, or if it has difficulty starting in general, you may need to replace this lock switch. This switch is made primarily of black, gray, and white plastic, and will require a screwdriver/drill, and a pair of needle nose pliers to replace. This door switch is a genuine OEM part that will require you to disassemble part of your washing machine to completely replace it.
