Interlock for the access door of a clothes washing machine which prevents opening of the door during certain portions of the operating cycle, for example, the spin portion thereof. A catch member carried by the door cooperates with a solenoid-actuated latch bar to lock the door during the spin portion of the cycle. The catch also serves to actuate, in the lid-closed position, a microswitch which enables the washer motor to function. A tab member provided as part of the latch bar prevents inadvertent actuation of the microswitch while the door is open and a cam provided on the catch member enables closure of the door, during normal use even though the latch bar has been actuated.
