Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Door Latch Kit by Whirlpool

Hello Joe. The latch kit 279570 is not hard to replace. You will need a flat blade putty knife and a pair of needle nose pliers. Use the flat blade to pry and remove the latch from the dryer door. Once removed, you will snap the new latch into the door. Then take the pliers and remove the catch from the dryer. Once the old one is removed, you will snap the new one into place.
