Mike for Model Number KUDP02FRSS0 I replaced the door seal (p/n AP6327300) bought from Appliance Parts Pros a few months ago. After replacing the seal, the door unlatches during the wash cycle. Is it common that after replacing the seal (12 yr old unit) that the latch needs to be replaced? My thought is: the latch not strong enough with a new door seal.
Answer Mike, It is not common for the door to pop open when replacing the seal. A suggestion would be to push the door to latch and leave for a day or 2 to see if this will help to get the door to seat into the gasket better. You could also use a hair drier to see if heating the gasket will help to soften up the gasket to seal and the latch to engage better. If these do not work then this would likely be the latch that is faulty. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, October 8, 2018
