My dryer is mounted on top of my washer and the washer got off balance during the cycle and didn't shut off, skipping across the floor and slammed into the table. The door popped open, and the lock stayed locked. I tried opening the lock with the screw driver, the lock broke off and fell to the bottom. What part do I need and would it be hard to fix myself?

When I depress the start button and hold the door will not "click" to lock so the load will not start. is this a simple relay replacement ?

This can be mostly related to the controller unit but you can start by checking manually the door lock and the door switch before we can suspect the controller or even the wiring to the door switch and lock.
There needs to be a feedback so that the program can RUN.

It is saying there is a problem with your door Lock. when you close the door does it hold like it use too? try to open and close the door if it doesn't really close properly then you will just need a door latch. If the machine gives you an f11 code then its the main computer board that can also give your the door lock error. I would check the door first though.

Try holding the 'options' & 'select' buttons together till the door lock button comes on. This is the child lock function. You can do it again for the lock to come off. Hold down for over 3 seconds

there is a good chance that the load has "bust" the door lock or maybe just snapped the door ******(part thats on the door itself)
if the ****** is ok, you will need to replace the door lock.

hope this helps
