Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Actuator (Part Number: OEM9360117)

Sharon, Normally, this most likely would be the issue that the bearing is starting to go bad. Normally the bearing will make the noise throughout but, in some cases if it has not failed it will make noise at certain points after stopping for a while. Unfortunately, it does appear that the parts have been discontinued.

Rusty, The latch part is 676413 but, there are other parts involved, like the actuator 8193646 draw bar WP3369000 spring WP3368999, etc. You'll need to remove the front door panel to access the latch assembly, and it can be a bit tricky. If you could repost and attach an e mail address, we'll be happy to supply you with some illustrated information and help.
