How to Change the Door Latch Switch on a LTF2140ES0 Frigidaire Washer

The door latch switch of your Frigidaire LTF2140ES0 is a safety device that seals the washing machine's door while a cycle is running. You might need to replace the latch switch if the appliance is having trouble locking at the beginning of a cycle and displaying an error code. The switch is easy to access and remove once the rubber boot connecting the drum to the door frame has been released.
