GE Washer Dryer Combo Door Lock (WH01X26241)

The GE Washer Dryer Combo Door Lock secures the door shut during wash and dry cycles, preventing it from being opened while the drum is in motion. It works by engaging an electronic latch that signals the control board the door is properly closed, allowing the cycle to begin and run safely.

The GE Washer Dryer Combo Door Lock can fail due to normal wear on the latch mechanism, electrical faults in the solenoid, or damage from repeated forceful closing of the door. Heat exposure from the drying cycle can also degrade internal components over time, causing the lock to stop engaging or releasing properly.

Look for these symptoms to help determine if the door lock is the source of your problem:

- Door does not latch or lock when a cycle is started

- Washer dryer combo will not start or stops immediately after starting

- Door remains locked after the cycle ends and will not release

- Error code related to the door lock appears on the display

- Cycle pauses or resets unexpectedly mid-wash or mid-dry

- Clicking or buzzing sound near the door with no lock engagement

- Door appears closed but the machine does not recognize it as locked
