The repair dept. in the store where I purchased it told me I had to remove the washer from the top of the pedestal. I questioned the logic of that and found 2 small screws hold the drawer on. I removed the screws and lifted the drawer out exposing the latch. I ordered the latch which is a captive part from APP. Com. I checked with several suppliers and Appliance Parts Pros was less expensive than other suppliers by a tiny amount. Electrolux/Whirlpool should be ashamed to sell a cheap little plastic part for $36+. I won’t buy another appliance from them unless they change their monopolistic ways . The Japanese and Korean appliance companies are less greedy.
