Good Afternoon Dani, thank you for your post!
From my understanding your Electrolux pedestal is not remaining closed. You may need to replace the latch or rails inside of the pedestal. I can provide you with further part information once I have the model number of the pedestal. You can locate that information on the door frame of the pedestal. I look forward to helping you further. -Matt

SOURCE: remove pedestal drawer from washer

First remove the top of the washer via 3 tork, 7mm hex head screws (they are hidden located on rear of washer) then you can see to line up the tub with the shipping bolts. Just put 2 in --one lower and upper opposing each other and that will be sufficient. I believe there is two screws holding the drawer in located at the track towards the front of the drawer. Now you can lean it over with no worries to remove pedestal

I had the same problem...thanks for posting a solution. I agree with the solution posted above, but on my unit they are 1/4" HEX head screws, not phillips. Look at the illustration on page 4 here for help:

SOURCE: remove washer pedestal drawer

I have a GE front loader on a pedestal & needed to remove the drawer. I got an answer from their website below. Basically, on this model, unscrew the hex-head screw at the FRONT of the side rails on each side.

SOURCE: how to remove drawer on pedestal

You need to remove the 2 screws holding the black rails on both sides of the drawer. Took us a while to figure this one out also.

Electrolux repair manuals

Good Morning Friend,

I understand you are looking for a repair manual for your Electrolux pedestal, model# EPWD15W, because you want to know how to remove the drawer. Typically, there are no instruction manuals on how to remove the drawer. I suggest contacting the manufacturer for further assistance. It is possible, that they can find some type of manual to assist you. Hope this is helpful.

Electrolux pedestal drawer won't close

Good Afternoon Apetgroomer,

I see that you're having trouble with your Electrolux pedestal drawer, model# EPWD15TS, door not closing. There are 2 pieces inside the drawer that help to keep the drawer shut that could be broken. One is the drawer strike, which is actually attached to the drawer itself. The other is the drawer actuator, which is attached to the casing which holds the drawer. Check both of these parts, and if it is one of them, i suggest contacting the manufacturer to se if they have any replacement parts.

-Best Regards-

Drawer will not stay closed

Hello David, I am JK. I understand that you are having trouble with the drawer staying closed on your pedestal. I would recommend checking to make certain that nothing is caught under the pedestal keeping the drawer from closing properly. If this is not the concern, the strike and/or latch might need to be replaced.
Hope this helps!

Need to remove the drawer from the pedestal

Two screws is all that needs to be removed. These screws have a nut so you will need a wrench. The screws are located at the front of the metal rail that the drawer rides on. Empty the drawer, remove the screws and slightly lift and pull the drawer free.

If you are having a problem with the door staying shut like I did the part responsible is the little white square box called a 'Latch' located at the front bottom of the casing, in the middle held by two screws. A black 'strike' on the door inserts into this Latch. If the strike is good the latch should be the problem.

Strike Part Number: 137006900

Latch Part Number: 137006200

Drawer does not stay closed.

To access the inside of the pedestal two screws are what need to be removed. These screws have a nut so you will need a wrench as well as a screw driver. The screws are located at the front of the metal rail on each side, that the drawer rides on. Empty the drawer, remove the screws and slightly lift and pull the drawer free.

The part responsible is the little white square box called a 'Latch' located at the front bottom of the casing, in the middle held by two screws. A black 'strike' on the door inserts into this Latch. If the strike is good the latch should be the problem. I took this part to Lowe's where I purchased my units. I found that this wasn't under my warranty, but they called and ordered the part for free. I just have to wait 7 days, I hope they ordered the right part!
