The Dishwasher Door Latch Handle is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It ensures that the dishwasher door closes securely, enabling the machine to operate correctly. This handle engages the latch mechanism, providing a tight seal to prevent leaks and allowing the dishwasher to run its cycles efficiently.
Over time, the door latch handle can wear out or break due to frequent use, exposure to harsh detergents, or mechanical failure. Causes of a bad door latch handle include physical damage, internal component wear, or misalignment.
Symptoms of a bad door latch handle include:
- Difficulty in closing or latching the dishwasher door
- The dishwasher not starting or stopping mid-cycle
- Leaks around the door during operation
- The handle feeling loose or not engaging properly
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
