Alan R Rochester , NH April 11, 2017 Appliance: Model ABOVE, HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR TO FIND IT One day the washer door opened and closed; the next day it would not open I googled the problem. It was suggested that I take an Allen wrench; vice grips, insert it and turn, should be able to unlock, not. I used a hack saw blade to cut the screws holding it in position (top). Then the washer could be moved out and have access to the top of the door. I unscrewed the nut holding the latch. Once accomplished the door opened. Then I had access to the part number and model number. Before that I could not see the model number. Ordered the part from you folks, part was delivered in 24 hrs, regular shipment. 4 screws to remove; replace part, IT WORKS! Oh, by the way ..... the local appliance shop did not have a clue how to help me. They did suggest going on line though, google it. thanks, Read More... 6 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Adjustable Wrench, Pliers, Screwdrivers

Tanya C Dunkirk , NY August 19, 2016 I couldn't open my dishwasher and the dishwasher handle broke At first I couldnt open the dishwasher so i pulled it out and saw there was a screw holding the top lock in place so i unscrewed It and my dishwasher finally opened. I could not get the door off of the latch so i realized the handle had broke that wpuld normally release the latch. I purchased a new handle by checking my model number on the inside on my dishwasher. The handle was very easy to install. I received in two days after ordering. After shutting off the electric to my unit, I just unscrewed the screws in the door unhooked the plugs and replugged them into the new handle, rescrewed in the screws and turned my electric back on. Easy! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
