1. If the washer is under warranty, just call Whirlpool to ask for warranty service. See the contact information here--https://www.contacthelp.com/whirlpool/customer-service.
2. If it's not under warranty, see http://www.repairclinic.com/Shop-For-Parts/c72-x777477373030306477/Wtw7000dw-Latch-Parts for a replacement part. You may want to talk to Whirlpool first [see above].
