Parts for Craftsman 917294250: Mainframe, Left Side Parts

This mechanical door latch secures the dishwasher door during operation so cycles can run safely and the unit can seal properly. It replaces a worn or broken latch to restore reliable door closure and cycle starts. What it does:

• Physically holds and locks the door closed during wash cycles
• Triggers or maintains the door-closed state so the control will allow the cycle to start
• Commonly replaces units that are cracked, bent, or no longer latching
• Resolves symptoms like a door that won't stay closed, a dishwasher that won't start, or intermittent cycle interruptions

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove the inner door panel to access the latch; keep fasteners organized
• Inspect surrounding strike and mounting tabs for damage before installing
