How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6012288 / WP8269117 Dishwasher Door Latch Handle

Replaced handle 

Ordered the correct part from AppliancePartsPros.com, watched the video and had no problems with the installation. 

Ordered new handle, was very easy to install, only had a little trouble with small springs 

It is not just that these people had the part. The video on how to install it was very important to my decision not to call a repair shop. And the part installation was just as they promised on the video. Very convenient and valuable! 

Replaced the handle and spring. It took awhile to figure out what was wrong after I got the handle out. I could not tell it was broken and I did not know the spring was missing. After I watched the repair video I relalized what was wrong. Called your talk to a pro line, she helped me order the correct parts and sent it to me in 2 days. Got the part and had the dishwasher up and running in 20 minutes. Thanks for your help and knowledge. I am sure I saved many $$$$$ by not having to call in a repair man. You guys & gals are the best. Thanks again. 

Ordered replacement door latch from AppliancePartsPros.com.. part arrived by FEDX in two days, gathered up tools.,watched video on e-mail confirm. page for order, went to work for approx. 20 min. -- works fine..great service, SUPER helpful video, will highly recommend your business... THANK YOU.. 

Inside the door of my Kitchenaid dishwasher is a plastic handle. One side had broken off and one of the two springs had fallen off into the door. The handle spring loads the plunger in the door that keeps it closed. The plunger also pushes down an internal switch that tells the controls the door is sealed shut and it's OK to wash. I opened it all up on a Saturday night, so I couldn't get parts from my local appliance part dealer so I just looked up the handle on the appliance parts pro Web site and ordered them. They were waiting for me when I got back the following weekend. It just took a few minutes to put it all back together. Saved myself a few dollars over a service call. I am also fortunate enough to have a wife that can tolerate a week without the dishwasher or me!!!! 

Got new part from you folks and replaced it 

Ordered new handle and replaced it. From the time I ordered the handle till I installed it was less than two days! 

Thanks to the speedy delivery of the part and the great video, the repair went great!
