Melisa October 25, 2015 for Model Number kuda03ctbso I think my door latch is broken. When closed, the bar on the frame of the dishwasher should go in to the latch. Does this in turn cause the white clasps in the latch to move and lock the door? How do I determine the latch is failing?
1 Answer Hello Melisa. Yes, the strike goes into the latch and locks the unit. If it is opening, it could be un-level or have a bad latch or strike. Read More...
Brennan October 05, 2015 for Model Number MDB7749AWB1 Just replaced the control panel on the dishwasher, and now everything lights up but does not start. Also, I cannot remember what terminal the wire goes for the latch sensor. Any ideas?
1 Answer Brennan, The wiring of the door switch would be 2 black on one switch and 2 white on the other. If the switches are not connected properly it will cause the unit to not run. Read More...
Bob September 01, 2015 for Model Number MDB7749AWB2 The handle inside the door is loose, a plastic "stem" with a screw in it fell out of the handle opening when it broke. I was not there, my wife was opening it when it happened. She inidcated the handle was becoming stiffer and harder to open for some time. From the parts list, not sure if I need the handle, latch, or both?
1 Answer Hello Bob. You will need to take the door apart and see if the latch WPW10404412 or the handle WPW10205889 broke on the unit. Read More...

Andrew August 03, 2014 for Model Number kudt03ftss03 The normal wash & heat dry light up and start button blinks slowly. Other wash cycle selections wont respond or light up. I can get it to start if I close door but it wont let me press start and then close door(3 sec delay doesnt work). when it did start it seemed to stay in wash then drain then wash cycle forever. heating element does work. If I activate door latch switch with screwdriver I can get start to light up solid. I recently (1 month ago?) replaced keypad.
1 Answer Andrew, With the start button flashing you will want to check to make sure that the door switch is good and making good contact. If this checks ok then you will need to replace the membrane switch. Read More...

Brian August 25, 2013 for Model Number mdb7749aww2 The door does not seem to lock and the start button does not light but all other buttons do. Took off the latch assembly and tried to manually simulate the locked state but the start still does not work. Thinking it is a bad latch assembly or circuit board. Thoughts? Thanks
1 Answer Brian, It does sound like it could be the latch or the control board but to determine this you will need to check the latch when in the locked position. You will check the continuity of the switches on the latch and if there is no continuity then the latch assembly is bad and would need to replace the latch. Read More...
David M. June 09, 2013 for Model Number MDPH979AWW3 You have recommended latch assembly for this AP5306177 for this unit. The dishwasher will not start (no response when I push the start button on the control panel. It looks like the plastic piece keeps popping out of place blocking the switch part from being fully depressed. But when I manually depress the switch and push the start button it still does not light up. Could it be that I need a complete touch panel assembly and latch assembly? Also, what is your return policy/
1 Answer David, Based on your post information and description, Yes you'll need to replace the control panel / keypad assembly W10811156 The key pad circuit(s) have failed. Also check the latch handle WPW10205890 for broken or cracked tabs, You may want to replace both the handle and latch WPW10404412 as an assembly, based on "the plastic piece keeps popping out of place" to be safe. AppliancePartsPros.com has a 365 day "no hassle" return policy, you will be responsible for the return shipping. Read More...
