Lee, You want to test the door latch (2)micro switches. The easiest way is to remove the latch assembly from the door, remove and label the wires, check the switch circuits, the door klatch would be in the unlocked position and both switches would have "open" circuits. push the latch assembly onto the tub latch strike (like the door was closed) and recheck both switches for a "closed" circuit. Repeat the test a few times, and repair as necessary. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Michelle! The dishwasher door latch is part number WPW10130695, this comes assembled with the handle. If you are speaking of the tabs on the back of the control panel itself that the latch snaps onto, you will need to purchase the control panel 6-919822 to obtain the clips. Thanks.

Sunil, Yes, you're correct. They are a very tight fit, and hard to remove, you can use a pair of pliers or a small flat bladed scredriver to remove the wires from the terminals, and if your careful , the same procedure will remove the switches from the mechanism assembly. Good Luck and Thanks.

Polly R. for Model Number mdb7600awb

The door latch was replaced with the assembly. Upon using the dishwasher, water was pumped in and then the dishwasher just stopped; all lights were out on the door panel. We checked the breaker, thinking that was a problem; however, that wasn't an issue, so we started the washer again and water overflowed in the floor because we had double the water. The unit again stopped and did not operate. What could be the problem? A professional installed the latch assembly, is there a connection to the problem that we are having with the door handle/latch assemble? Thanks

Hi Polly. The float stem in the tub is supposed to activate the float switch to start/stop the water valve. The switch is part # W10202535. The switch mount is part # 99002943. Your stem might have slipped off the switch or jammed keeping the switch engaged. Thank you.
