Customer Questions and Answers for Dishwasher Door Latch, Black by Whirlpool

This is the door latch assembly for a dishwasher, finished in black. It secures the door in the closed position and signals the control board that the door is properly latched so the wash cycle can begin. Replace this part if the door won't stay closed, the dishwasher won't start, or the latch mechanism is visibly broken or worn.
