The dish washer actually sat for a year before we got to fixing it. And in that time it had gotten interesting inside the machine. So when we pulled the back of the door open to change out the latch, we found good fortune because everything was still in good shape. Besides the latch. Long story short, we got the latch mechanism traded out easily and now the dishwasher is in use. I'm glad we ordered from appliancepartspros.com. it was a swift delivery and the part worked beautifully.
