LG Door Latch (MFG63099101)

The LG Door Latch secures the appliance door in the closed position and signals to the control that the door is shut. It helps the machine start and keep running by preventing the door from opening during a cycle.

Failures often come from repeated slamming, wear on the latch hook, or a weakened internal spring. Misalignment from a sagging door or loose hinges can also keep the latch from catching. Moisture, residue, or debris can make the latch stick or prevent a solid lock.

Look for these symptoms to decide if a door latch is the right fix:

Door will not close all the way or pops back open

Appliance will not start because the door will not register as closed

Cycle stops mid-run and shows a door or lid open message

Need to push, lift, or hold the door to get the machine to run

Door feels loose, does not click, or the latch sticks
