David M. for Model Number MDPH979AWW3

You have recommended latch assembly for this AP5306177 for this unit. The dishwasher will not start (no response when I push the start button on the control panel. It looks like the plastic piece keeps popping out of place blocking the switch part from being fully depressed. But when I manually depress the switch and push the start button it still does not light up. Could it be that I need a complete touch panel assembly and latch assembly? Also, what is your return policy/

Answer

David, Based on your post information and description, Yes you'll need to replace the control panel / keypad assembly W10811156 The key pad circuit(s) have failed. Also check the latch handle WPW10205890 for broken or cracked tabs, You may want to replace both the handle and latch WPW10404412 as an assembly, based on "the plastic piece keeps popping out of place" to be safe.
