Whirlpool Duet Washer Door Will Not Lock
Problem: The door latch only works intermittently. If the standing water is clear and clean, it is probably accumulating due to a failed inlet valve on the washer. Turn off the hot and cold water sources completely (or disconnect the hoses) after doing a load of laundry and wait a few hours to see if the problem happens. If no water accumulates, then the problem is being caused by the inlet valve leaking water, and a valve repair or replacement is needed.
