the magnetic bit the sensor is supposed to be sensing.Before I go buying parts and replacing things, can anyone give me some confidence about whether I should be replacing the: I appear to have isolated the problem to the door latch/sensor. I used a bit of ferrous metal to test the magnetic area that sits above that screw when the door is closed, and it is indeed still magnetic, though not as strongly magnetic as the magnet I used to test with. If I place a magnet to the left of the left screw that secures the door latch to the door, the washer believes that the door is closed and behaves normally. At any point if I release the pressure on the door, the cycle will stop, and the red light will begin blinking. If I hold the door shut by keeping pressure on the door when I close it, the washer behaves normally. I don’t know if it that play is normal or not. When I close the door, the latch clearly engages, but there is a little bit of play.

When I press hard on the latch, the latch retracts. When I trigger the lever, the latch descends. I examined the door latch, and it appears to be working correctly. The washer remains in that state indefinitely. After a couple of seconds, the red light starts flashing.By turning on the red light but not beeping the washer is acknowledging that I’ve pressed start and closed the door. Beeping is the sign that I’ve closed door without pressing start. The red light comes on solid, but the washer does not beep.I set the cycle, press start, and close the door.Last night I thought I ran a cycle, but it never started.
