XPARTCO 131763256 Washer Door Lock Assembly Replaces WH10X27534
The XPARTCO 131763256 is an aftermarket replacement door lock and switch assembly compatible with a wide range of Frigidaire, Electrolux, GE, White-Westinghouse, Tappan, Kenmore, Crosley, and Gibson front-load washers. The door lock latch and switch assembly is mounted on the front panel of the washer just inside the door opening — when the door closes, the door strike enters the lock and engages the latching mechanism, locking the door for the duration of the cycle and signaling the control board that it's safe to fill, agitate, and spin. Without a functioning door lock, the washer will not start, will not lock the door, may stop mid-cycle, or may display fault codes like E47.
This is a universal-fit aftermarket assembly that spans both the Frigidaire platform (131763xxx-series part numbers) and the GE platform (WH10X-series part numbers) — one physical part covers both manufacturers' cross-referenced door lock positions on compatible front-load washers. Rated 120VAC, 50/60Hz, with 8 terminals. Dimensions: 4-1/2"L x 3-7/8"W x 1-1/2"H. Gray and red matte finish, plastic and metal construction. It directly replaces 131763256, 131763202, 131763255, 131763200, 131763245, 1317632, 1312694, 131269400, 137523400, 1531974, 3626240, 4547033, 4547432, 5301317632, 08003223, K001317632, K1317630-K938, K1317632, LP3202, PA66-GF25, WH10X27534, WH10X10003, WH10X10007, WH10X27194, AH2367737, AH3418879, AP4455026, AP4694680, AP6285657, AP6327625, EA3418879, EAP2367737, PD00038657, PD00070219, PS2367737, PS3418879, PS12343346, and PS12364048.

- Frigidaire front-load washers — Affinity series, FAFS/FAFW/FFFS/FFFW/FRFW/FTF/FTR/FWFB/FWT/GLTF/GLEH series and many related models
- Electrolux front-load washers — select models with the matching door lock configuration
- GE front-load washers — WCCH404, WPXH214, WSSH300, WSXH208 series and related models (WH10X27534 cross-reference)
- White-Westinghouse front-load washers — select models
- Tappan front-load washers — select models

Note: The door lock assembly (131763256) and the door strike (131763310) are two separate components that work together — if both are worn, replacing them together as a matched set ensures reliable door locking and prevents premature wear on the new lock. The strike is what physically enters the lock when the door closes. Always verify your model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The door lock assembly is mounted on the front panel of the washer just inside the door opening. Open the washer door (if the door is stuck locked, use a putty knife to release the manual override latch through the bottom service opening, then open the door). Peel back the rubber door boot from the front panel edge to expose the mounting screws for the lock assembly — on some models this requires removing the spring-loaded wire clamp securing the boot with needle-nose pliers. Photograph the wire harness connections before disconnecting anything — this assembly has 8 terminals, so getting the wire mapping correct on reinstallation is important. Remove the 2 mounting screws holding the lock assembly to the front panel. Reach in and pull the assembly out through the door opening. Disconnect the wire harness plug from the old assembly. Snap the new 131763256 assembly onto the wire harness plug (should click firmly into place), position it in the front panel opening, and secure with the 2 mounting screws. Press the rubber door boot back into the groove at the front panel and reinstall the spring-loaded wire clamp if applicable — this is the trickiest part of the install. Restore power and test by closing the door and starting a cycle to confirm the door locks and the washer runs normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, putty knife (for stuck doors), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this really fit both Frigidaire AND GE washers?
Yes — this is one of those cases in front-load washer parts where an aftermarket door lock assembly has been designed to serve as a direct replacement for both the Frigidaire 131763xxx-series and the GE WH10X-series door locks. The two OEM assemblies share the same physical dimensions, 8-terminal wire harness configuration, and mounting geometry, allowing a single aftermarket part to function correctly in both platforms. Compatible models span Frigidaire's Affinity series, GE's WCCH/WPXH/WSSH/WSXH series, and select Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, White-Westinghouse, Tappan, and Gibson front-load washers. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
What does error code E47 mean on my Frigidaire washer?
E47 on Frigidaire and Electrolux front-load washers indicates a door lock circuit fault — the control board is not receiving the expected signal from the door lock assembly to confirm the door is closed and locked. This is typically caused by a failed door lock assembly, but can also be caused by a broken door strike (which physically enters the lock), a damaged wire harness, or a control board issue. Replacing the 131763256 door lock resolves E47 when the lock is the cause; if the code returns after replacement, check the strike and the wire harness next.
My washer won't drain and won't spin — is the door lock the problem?
Possibly, yes. Front-load washers block drain and spin operations whenever the control board can't confirm the door is locked — this is a safety measure to prevent water release and drum spinning while the door might be open. If your washer fills but won't advance to drain and spin, and there are no obvious pump or motor problems, a failed door lock is a common cause even though the symptom doesn't directly say "door." The failure can also manifest as "won't fill" or "unusual noise" during cycle transitions. Testing the door lock with a multimeter (or replacing it as a diagnostic step given the low cost) is a good first move for these symptoms.
My washer door is stuck closed — how do I get it open to install this?
If the door is stuck in the locked position because of a failed door lock, you can use a putty knife or thin flat tool to manually release the lock through the bottom service opening at the front of the washer. Reach in through the access panel at the lower front and locate the manual release lever or latch on the back of the door lock assembly — gently push or pry it to release the mechanism. The door should then open. Once open, you can proceed with the installation. Always disconnect power from the washer first.
Do I need to replace the door strike (131763310) too?
Not always, but often. The door strike is the matching component mounted on the washer door itself — it's the part that the lock's latching mechanism grips when the door closes. If the strike is worn, cracked, or its plastic teeth are broken, the new lock won't engage reliably even if it's working perfectly. Inspect the strike on the door for visible damage before ordering just the lock. Many repair scenarios call for replacing both at the same time since both wear together and the parts complement each other. The matching strike is part number 131763310 (sold separately).
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire, GE, or Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured from plastic and metal to match the dimensions (4-1/2"L x 3-7/8"W x 1-1/2"H), electrical specifications (120V AC, 50/60Hz), 8-terminal wire harness configuration, and lock engagement function of the original door lock assemblies it replaces across multiple manufacturers' catalogs.
