XPARTCO WH01X29528 Washer Door Lock
The XPARTCO WH01X29528 is an aftermarket replacement door lock assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Monogram front-load washing machines — as well as select GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer units. The door lock is a safety mechanism mounted at the front of the washer where the door closes — it automatically engages when the door is shut, securing it closed for the entire wash and spin cycle so water and detergent can't spill out and cause injury. It also signals the control board that the door is safely locked, which is what allows the washer to start filling and running. When the door lock fails, the washer typically won't start, won't lock the door, stops mid-cycle, or throws a door-related error code.
Rated 120 VAC, 60Hz, 16A. Failure usually comes from physical damage or normal wear over time. As a direct replacement for the GE WH01X29528, it also replaces AP6985313, EAP12749276, PS12749276, PD00060769, and 4958749 (additional production markings: ITW 12070-71, V13305, 0024000128GE). Installation is straightforward with no wiring modifications — remove the old lock and install the new one, typically in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer door — if the door is stuck locked because of a failed lock, you may need to access the manual release. Peel back the rubber door boot/gasket from the front panel edge near the lock to expose the door lock assembly — on some models this requires releasing the spring-loaded wire clamp that secures the boot with needle-nose pliers. Photograph the wire harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws holding the door lock assembly to the front panel. Reach in and pull the assembly out through the door opening far enough to access the wire connector. Disconnect the wire harness plug from the old assembly (no wiring modifications are needed — it's a direct plug connection). Snap the new WH01X29528 assembly onto the wire harness plug until it clicks firmly, position it in the front panel opening, and secure it with the mounting screws. Press the rubber door boot back into its groove and reinstall the spring-loaded wire clamp if applicable. Restore power and test by closing the door and starting a cycle — confirm the door locks, the washer runs, and the door unlocks at the end. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My GE washer won't start and shows a door error — is this the part?
Very likely, yes. GE front-load washers won't start unless the control board receives confirmation from the door lock that the door is closed and locked — it's a safety interlock. When the door lock fails, the washer either won't lock the door, won't start, or displays a door-related message on the panel. If your door appears to close normally but the washer won't begin the cycle (or stops shortly after starting), the door lock is the most common cause. Replacing the WH01X29528 typically resolves it. If you've already replaced the door lock and the problem persists, the issue may be the main control board instead.
I replaced the door lock and it worked briefly, then failed again — what's wrong?
If a new door lock works for a short time (seconds to minutes) and then the washer goes back to showing a door error, the problem may not be the lock itself but the main control board that powers and monitors it. A control board with a failing door-lock circuit can damage or fail to properly drive the lock, causing repeated symptoms even after replacing the lock. Some customers report an electrical smell or humming from the lock in these cases. If you've replaced the door lock (especially more than once) and the door error returns, the main control board is the next component to investigate. Contact our support team with your model number for the correct control board part.
Does this fit the GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer?
Yes — the WH01X29528 is used on select GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer units (such as the PFQ97HSPV0DS) in addition to standalone GE front-load washers. The combo units use the same door lock design as the front-load washers in the GFW/PFW families. As always, confirm your specific model number against the compatibility list before ordering, since GE uses different door locks across different washer generations.
How do I open the door if it's stuck locked and the washer won't run?
If the door is stuck in the locked position because of a failed lock, first make sure there's no water in the drum (run or complete a drain cycle if possible). Then unplug the washer and wait a few minutes — some GE models release the lock after power is removed. If it's still stuck, most front-load washers have a manual release mechanism accessible from behind the lower kick panel at the front of the machine — a tab or cord you pull to manually disengage the lock. Consult your model's manual for the manual release location. Once the door is open, you can proceed with replacing the lock.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from durable, moisture-resistant materials to match the electrical specifications (120 VAC, 60Hz, 16A), connector configuration, mounting, and door-locking function of the original WH01X29528 door lock used in compatible GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, and related front-load washers and combo units.
