Original Samsung OEM DC34-00024B Washer Door Lock Switch Solenoid Replacement Part - Compatible with Samsung Washing Machines for Secure Door Locking

Works greatWorks perfectly. Easy to installPoor quality and poor installation instruction.Thrilled this Samsung part works in my Whirlpool-built 2005 Kenmore Elite He4t (Model 110.45986400) as a functionally-compatible substitute for the original part (This is the exact same part my washer needed to start working again, I’m no handy guy but I just watched a quick YouTube video to install & now my washer works perfectly!When the correct part finally arrived, it took about 20 min to get it back in the washer and all has been well for several washes as of this writing.In recent weeks it had required several tries to latch the door to start each wash. Videos on the internet showed me where the problem might lie, and guided an easy removal of the part to check its status after 5 years of use. It turned out that the lower part of the plastic unit was badly cracked.I ordered the needed replacement part (DC34-00024B) on Amazon and it was "fulfilled" by a supplier who sent a different part that had two labels: 1) a faded label stuck directly on the package showing the Part Number as DA31-00146H; and 2) what seemed to be a freshly printed label applied over the original showing the Part Number as DC34-00024B. The part I was sent had no resemblance to the part I needed. I returned this incorrect part to Amazon, and warily ordered the DC34-00024B part again. The second time (from a different supplier) was the charm.As I said above, with the correct part in hand it was a quick replacement with the help of internet videos. The washer was back in action immediately.BTW - after the washer was functional again, I finally used the Pure cycle to clean the inside washer unit after years of use. It is like a brand new washer!If you have general "handyman" skills, this is an easy DIY. I completed it myself in about 10 minutes. One of the easiest household repairs I've ever done. (Look for a video on line - super easy...High level steps for the repair:- Unscrew the front of the pieces - three screws on the right side.- Remove the "spring" around the washer seal... easy to do, stretch it a little with a screw driver and it comes off.- Pull back the washer plastic "seal"... don't worry, it's still sealed on the inside, but now you can get inside the washer.- Reach in and pull out the piece... it's right there... but may be a little stuck because of the wires.- Unplug it carefully- Take it out of the "housing"- Put the new one into the housing (it sort of snaps in)- Replug it in- Put it back in place and screw it in.- Put back the washer seal and stretch the spring wire over to lock it in place.YOU'RE DONE! Doesn't that sound easy?Door latch was locked and wouldn’t let door shut, so I replace this part and it worked perfectly. Better than before actually, because now it will allow me to open the door without having to turn on the washer!Box was not even taped closed.lucky it wasn't stolen.There is a a plastic housing it fits in , in my washer.Because the shape was different in the upper left corner I could not get it to snap in.My husband had to cut down parts of the housing and we got it in. I have just completed my 3rd load. Works as expected.Other purchasers had the same issue.Excellent price!This is a replacement for DC64-00519B - and is identical. Paid a bit more for faster shipping and it arrived by Purolator a day earlier than scheduled! Fit perfectly and Washing Machine works as it did new! This part had Free Shipping available - the DC64-00519B part did not. Both parts are the same. Easily installed per YouTube video. A service call would have likely cost $200Cdn or more. PERFECT!!!Installed this a few weeks ago and it works perfectly. I would rate this a 5 out of 5 but we haven't had it long enough to say that we are satisfied with the longevity. Installation wasn't hard but it wasn't easy. During the installation I broke a small harness clip which you cannot see from the outside, so be very careful. The broken harness clip hasn't impacted the use, at least not yet.Excellent OEM replacement part. Outstanding price! I priced this exact part at a local appliance parts store and it was four times the price for the exact same item. Installed this is minutes and it has worked perfectly since. HighlyRecommend.This part is exactly as pictured and came very quickly. It was very easy to install, especially with assistance from you tube videos. I greatly appreciated that I could get the part from Canada so I did not have to deal with customs delays. It definitely saved me a service call which in turn saved me money. I recommend this to anyone with door lock switch issues.
