Gail, The most likely cause for the units buzzer not shutting off would be a motor switch that is stuck and the motor would need to be replaced to correct this issue. The motor part number is 279827.

Hello Michael, I'm sorry but we do not have access to the wiring diagram on this Kenmore product. If you cannot locate the wiring diagram on the unit you will need to contact Sears to inquire about Service data sheet 316905092. I am sure all the wires should be connected but cannot tell you where they should be connected without the wiring diagram.

Robert P. for Model Number Whirlpool LG5531XKW0

The door latch has a plastic downward facing hook that no longer holds door shut when closed. Looking at the door from the outside the latch is located in the upper left corner (of course the latch is on the inside of the door at that corner.) I probably need the hook latch on the door and the mating part on the chassis frame. I incorrectly ordered #3389441 which is no good to me.... I now think its probably AP3094183... but am not absolutely sure. Can you advise? Thanks for any help? Thank you.
