Crosley Washer Error Code 19

Error code 19 means the door lock sense switch circuit is being read as open by the machine control board while the motor is running. This indicates the board is not receiving a confirmed door lock signal during operation. The fault can be caused by a failed door lock sense switch, wiring issues, or a failed motor control relay on the machine control board.

Code 19 is a door lock fault, which is a safety-related issue. The washer should not be operated normally until the fault is diagnosed and resolved. Running the washer without a confirmed door lock creates a risk of the door opening during a spin cycle.

Repair costs depend on which component has failed. A door lock assembly replacement is typically in the range of $40 to $120 in parts, while machine control board replacement can range from $100 to $300 or more depending on the model. Adding professional labor costs will increase the total, generally ranging from $150 to $400 or more for a complete repair.

Yes, clearing the diagnostic code list is actually the recommended first diagnostic step for code 19. If the fault was intermittent or caused by a temporary condition, clearing the code and retesting may confirm the washer is operating normally. However, if code 19 returns after clearing, a full Door Lock Test should be performed to identify the underlying cause.

Start by clearing the diagnostic code list and retesting the washer. If the code returns, perform the Door Lock Test as outlined in the diagnostic documentation to isolate the fault. Check the door lock assembly for a failed sense switch, inspect all wiring and connectors between the door lock and the control board, and evaluate the motor control relay on the machine control board. Replace whichever component tests as faulty.
