The Door Latch Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It securely fastens the dishwasher door closed during wash cycles to contain water, detergent, and wash motions within the tub. This dishwasher door switch assembly does not include the handle. It includes two switches and a holder.

Over time, latch components can wear from continual use and lose their ability to lock the door. Exposure to water and detergent may also cause corrosion or cracking.

Symptoms of a bad door latch assembly include:

  • The dishwasher door not closing fully or securely during cycles  
  • Gaps around the door allowing water and air leakage
  • The door popping or opening unexpectedly mid-cycle
  • Dishwasher will not start

This Whirlpool part fits dishwashers from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore models.

Melinda M. for Model Number DWU6750AAM

My dishwasher works fine except it keeps stopping midcycle. The dishwasher restarts when I push on the door, but then it stops again,so I have to keep pushing on the door several times during the cycle to get it to finish. I had a repairman in to look at the dishwasher, and he said it's a relatively easy repair, and that I need a latch and catch assembly. He showed me the wires that attach into each side of the latch assembly and said that my husband, who is handy, could replace it as long as he replaced each wire carefully into the new assembly(after turning of the electricity, of course). The 'latch assembly' that he was talking about is part of the door, and the 'catch' is the little plastic piece on the main part of the dishwasher that clicks into the latch when you close the door. Can you tell me what parts to buy to complete this job?

Hello Elsje. Check and make sure the handle W10834433 is not broke. If it is good, you will need to replace the latch assembly 99002254. These are not hard to do. Just disconnect the power to the unit and remove the inner door panel and remove the cover from the door latch. Remove the old latch and reinstall in reverse order with the new latch. Hope this helps.
