Blane T December 26, 2012 for Model Number MDBH965AWW I'm trying to by the door latch handle. I enter the model, find the part, it says "no handle, if you want the handle follow this link" which I follow. It shows the piece I need. Then it says to check compatibility. I type in MDBH965AWW and it says it's not compatible. Since I started my search with that model number, I'm not understanding why I end up with the wrong part. I cannot find the right part on your site. Can you?
1 Answer Hello Blane. Based on the model number provided, you need to order part number WPW10130695. The handle comes with this part. Read More...
Wanda December 19, 2012 for Model Number KUDL03FVSS4 I have the SS KitchenAid dishwasher. The detergent door does not latch - it appears that the blue thing that holds it is missing a spring. If you force it to close, it does not open during washing. I am having trouble finding this part which is blue and looks like bird wings or something. Thank you!!
1 Answer Hello Wanda, When the latch on the detergent door is not latching then you would have replace the dispenser assembly WPW10199696. Read More...
Dockales December 12, 2012 for Model Number MDBH980AWW1 I bought and installed the door latch assembly to address a probelm with a broken handle lever. Now the door closes and opens OK but the dishwasher won't run. The lights on the control panel come on but it does not fill or run through a cycle. What do you suggest? Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Dock, You're going to need to recheck and make sure you don't have any loose or crossed wires at the new door latch switches, or control board. If alls OK, you'll need to test or replace the keypad/control panel assembly W10197307, the "start" key could be the issue. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Joe. If the door switches are good, you will need to replace the control panel 6-919819 on the unit. Read More...
J R November 08, 2012 for Model Number adb1500aws I have a part #ps2180050 is a door latch assembly and I cannot get the old part to unplug, is it something I need to do, or does the two connectors just unplug?
1 Answer JR, You may find it easier to use a flat blade screw driver or a pair of needlr nose pliers to remove the wire terminals from the door switch terminals, You do have to "squeeze" the palstic terminal cover and pull out on the wire, at the same time, in order to "unlock" the wire terminal from the switch terminal.

Randy M. October 31, 2012 for Model Number ADB2500AWW I have a door handle problem, mechanical in nature, not the switch mechanism. The little plastic finger lift handle has broken where one of the stainless steel pins attach thus it is held in place on one side only. I erroneously ordered a latch assembly which is the switch before I opened the door panel up to discover I didn't need the switch but only the little lift handle. Where do I order the handle? What is part number? Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Randy, The handle used to be available alone, but it now crosses to the latch assembly W10862259 which includes the handle. I'm sorry but the handle isn't available by itself any more. Read More...
Eric S October 23, 2012 The door handle of the admiral dishwasher broke and i can not open the door to look for the model #, what is your sugestion; Thanks Eric
1 Answer Eric, You may be able to "force" the door open. based on the part number you supplied, and if the dishwasher is less than ten(10) years old, you can "snatch" the door open. Grasp the top corners of the door(if you can get your fingertips between the door and the tub flange, even better) and pull out on the top of the door. The "rolling lock" usually will roll to the open position and the door will unlock, so you can make the repair. Read More...
Bob R October 18, 2012 When putting a new door latch on Amana dishwasher does it matter which side you put the plugs? One set of wires are black and one set is white. Took it apart a year ago, planned to junk it, now bought new latch and dont know what side should be black and what side should be white. HELP PLEASE
1 Answer Bob, As long as the same colored wires are on the same switch, you'll be fine. We'll send you a diagram that should be more helpful Read More...
Bob October 17, 2012 In replacing handle part W10862259 I have forgotten how the wires go. It has been a year and I decided to fix the dishwasher. There are 2 white wires and 2 black wires that each go into a plug. What side do the white wires go and what side do the black go?
1 Answer Hello Bob, The two white wires go to one switch and the two black wires go to the other. It doesn't matter which side they go in as long as the two white and two black are not crossed. If you cross them, you will trip a breaker and burn some connectors off of the wiring harness, since these are hot and neutral. Read More...
