Bobby April 01, 2020 for Model Number ffbd2408nb8c Found that latch was my issue. Upon inspection, found that one of the terminals had shorted out and burnt. I can not find the white Molex(?) connector that plugs into the bottom of the latch. Can I just plug in the wires individually or is there a chance they will short out again without that white connector piece?
1 Answer Bobby, To get the connector you would need to get the main harness 5304504853. As long as there are straight connectors on the latch you should be able to put connectors on the wires and just plug it up. Read More...
Mike Dunn March 18, 2020 for Model Number A02841501 I working on a Fridgedaire dishwasher, new around 2014. It stopped working, and I found that the door switch and wire connection burnt. Playing with the connection made it work, but got very hot. I think the switch is over drawing current, but is the control board malfunctioning, or is another device causing the overload, and which components might cause this?
1 Answer Mike, On this issue, the heat would most likely be caused by a loose connection on the terminals that will create the burning of wires and overheating. A switch will not be able to have an overdraw of current as it is just passing voltage from one side to the other. Read More...
Jason December 27, 2019 for Model Number frigidaire ffbd2412ss0a I need to replace the door latch as the electrical connection got hot and burnt. Does the latch switch replacement come with new ends (harness) for the wires. The ones on the machine are destroyed. If not what are my options.
1 Answer Jason, the latch assembly does not come with the female wire terminals. The terminals can be replaced and are part number TJMA02875-1. Read More...
Terry Muldoon March 11, 2017 for Model Number FGHD2433KB1 I am replacing the door latch on my dishwasher. I have received the replacement part but it appears to be an updated version. the older model had connector boxes on the ends of the wiring harnesses. by removing them I was able to plug the connectors directly into the assembly, is that right? and does it matter which side the wiring harnesses (one black and one white) are plugged into and is there any specific orientation to the plugs themselves?
1 Answer Terry, No, there isn't a specific orientation of the wires. Yes, you should've removed the wire covers and installed the wires to the terminals on the switch. Basically a "straight across" trade on the door switch assembly. You should be fine from here on out. Read More...
Miguel January 11, 2017 for Model Number DGBD2432KF1 I recently replaced the door latch /strike on my machine and although the OEM one seemed to be a bit taller and the connections had to stretch a bit to connect the terminals to the replacement latch, it all worked good when I put it back together. Yesterday the dishwasher was in the middle of a wash cycle and someone opened the door mid cycle and closed it back again and the machine never resumed the cycle. I tried to "reset" the device by turn off the main power on the breaker for more than 1 hour, I have also tried to go into the diagnostic mode but can cycle 1-8 but the machine is non responsive. I cycle through the codes but it never starts any of the water or drain etc. I have power to the unit, I can select the wash mode but it just doesn't "kick in". I did have this problem when I first put the replacement latch in as one of the terminals was loose and I had to make sure that the cable was reaching it. Wondering if I should explore in replacing the door latch again or if there is another fuse and or area to look into? There is a small amount of water that has not drained since the cycle was interrupted but we have had the instanced in the past were the door was opened to add or remove something and it would resume with no issues. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I would hate to buy a new part just to learn that the issue is somewhere else
1 Answer Miguel, It sounds likely that the door latch will be the issue with the unit and you would want to check the switches on the latch to make sure that they are good. If the switches check ok then the issue will be the control board. Read More...
Jim October 26, 2016 for Model Number PLD4375RFC0 When I close the door It wont start. Water goes in and drains and the heat works. We get an error notification on the LED display. Is it the latch switch?
1 Answer Hello Jim. No, it is not the latch. You will need to check the motor. If it is good, replace the control board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Cheryl July 06, 2016 for Model Number LEDB500FEE0 The dishwasher will run but the door is not locking. I am assuming it is the door latch. Is that correct? Is it a difficult fix?
1 Answer Hello Cheryl. It is either the strike 5304532796 or the latch assembly 5304525218 on the unit. These are not hard to replace. You will need to remove the inner door panel and disconnect the power to replace the latch. Read More...
Dan B February 05, 2016 for Model Number Frigidaire LGBD2432LBOA I have found the door latch that I want to replace but would also like to replace the switch at the same time. Cannot find a listing for the switch and the picture of the latch does not appear to show the switch as part of it. Therefore, I am assuming that the switch is a separate item (?) Help?
1 Answer Dan, The switch for this door latch is built into the latch and is not visible but you can see the terminals in the first picture on our site. Read More...
Tam H May 30, 2015 for Model Number FDHD2433KF I have Frigidaire Stainless Disk Washer. I verified there is power to the washer but suddenly there is nothing show at control panel. No LED light, no code, nothing. I am thinking it is door latch problem but not sure. If it is door latch then what part number should I order. If not what is possible cause of the problem? Thanks TH
1 Answer Tam, You will want to check the ribbon harness from the control panel to the control board. No corrosion and needs firm connection. If this checks ok then the control panel would most likely be the issue. Read More...
Barry S February 07, 2015 for Model Number kenmore dishwasher model # 58715392100A made by Frigidaire My dishwasher door won't close it appears that the door latch is in the closed position. I have an erro indicator on the digital screen "err" Is there any way to manually open the latch i am afraid to break the plastic lock.
1 Answer Barry, To get the latch unlocked you would have to try to turn the latch assembly back into the correct position. There is no other way of doing this without replacing the latch. Read More...
