your main control board and the actual lock,
open the three screws on the top of the control board..
you will see the machine control
without disconnnecting the wires , inspect the board as closely as uou can your looking for physical burn on the board,,,, this usually takes place on the lower left area of the board
there you will see a burnt resistor, r-11
you will need to replace that control

the board is 138.00
you will also need to replace the wax motor lock above the door
but is sounds like you just bought them
do you have a wrrenty of sdome kind
if you wish to make the repai let me know i will walk you through it it prety easy but can be tricky
Door locked light comes on. If it wasn't I would suspect wax motor (again). Will try suggestions, thanks.
Ok, fixed it. I raised the top and observed the cycle while the washer was running. The wax motor does extend and lock the door, it also closes the "door locked" indicator light switch, causing the light to come on. However there was another switch on the far right of the waxmotor/switch assembly. There is a cylindrical portrusion that is intended to extrude with the operation of the wax motor, closing that switch. It was just barely touching the "nub" not pressing it enough to actually close the switch. Looking at the wax motor, I noticed it was set back about 1/16" from the bracket which was not true when the washer was off. The cause was the "S" shaped ribbon spring that presses against the far left of the wax motor, holding it in position - apparently this spring was too weak to hold the wax motor firmly in the bracket while it was under tension. This is something you would never know if you did not actually watch the assembly in operation. The fix was to remove the ribbon spring using needle nose pliers and extend the spring manually ("sproing!") so that it exerts more tension on the wax motor, and re-install it. After doing this, the motor was held firmly in it's mounting bracket and it fully depressed the far right switch during operation. The washer now finishes the spin cycle properly instead of simply tumbling and leaving soggy wet clothes.
