Do-It-Yourself Story

I lived with the problem for half a year as I jerry-rigged the dishwasher door by pulling it out until it started. I did this by sticking a cleaning brush in it or looping an exercise bungee cord through the handle and attaching it to a 30lbs weight across the room until the CL light went off. Some days it would run with no problem but eventually it "died" and my ingenuity failed to work anymore. I contacted an AppliancePartsPros representative and he recommended I try the latch assemble to fix the problem. I loved that I could return the part and get my money back if it didn't work. It is why I waited another day or two for the part to arrive by mail than to buy it locally where I couldn't return it. I watched a youtube video to see how to remove the door and replace the part. Easy-pesy. Part solved the problem.
