Ge WB02K10136 Latch OEM Part

Replaced faulty latch with new latch. New latch was different configuration, but the fit was okay. The only issue was that the wires to the electric motor were just barely long enough. Overall easy repair if you have a T15 Torx bit, phillips screwdriver, and 1/4" nut driver. Hardest part is removing the gas cooktop to gain access to the cleaning latch. 0. Turn off electric to stove; remove the cast iron grates, center caps/orifices, and catch pans from the stovetop. 1. Disconnect the gas burners from the cooktop using the T15 torx driver. 2. Pull the ignitors up from the cooktop and disconnect the wires (they just pull off of the ignitor). 3. Use a flat blade screwdriver (or similar tool) to push in the spring catch holding the stovetop on the right/left front of the stove. 4. Lift the top and pull forward. There are hinge pins at the back of the stovetop that will come out when lifted to a certain angle. 5. Remove cover plate over latch using 1/4" nut driver. 6. Open oven door and remove two screws holding the latch. There is also a 1/4" nut-screw holding the old latch from the top. Remove the latch. 7. Take note of the wires that go to the motor (x2) and to each switch (x4). Remove the wires from the old latch and reconnect to the new latch, ensuring the wires are reconnected to the proper switches and motor. This is CRITICAL for new part to function correctly. If you are unsure, it is best to have an appliance repairman do the installation. 8. Follow procedures in reverse to put things back together.

Replaced old lock and installed replacement lock and now have a happy wife.
