Bought a universal washer door lock kit for $35 and it was junk

Had a Maytag front loader with a bad door lock, got a generic kit that claimed to fit everything. The plastic parts snapped on the second install attempt, so I wasted an hour and the cash. Do you guys ever use those universal parts or stick with OEM only?

Learned that lesson the hard way with a universal belt that snapped faster than my patience.

So @corah75, did you at least get a refund on that belt?

@seanc73, did yours break too? I had one fail after a week. Total garbage.
