Paul May 08, 2014 for Model Number KUDI01ILBT2 routing the tiny spring from the door handle (latch) to ?
1 Answer Paul, On the latch bolt there is a hook on the side of it and a hook on the side of the handle that when the assembly is put together the springs will go between these 2 hooks. Read More...
Jerry H March 15, 2014 for Model Number gu2300xtvb2 I need to install the door latch springs, but there are no springs on the latch. It has a rubber band for the tension.

Sherrie October 10, 2013 for Model Number KUDR01TJBL0 (or cap O); I have replaced the door handle on the Kitchenaid dishwasher, but it appears a spring should be added. I have the new springs but nothing I can find -- diagram which is worthless--tells me how to attach the springs. When we removed the old handle there were no springs attached. I've put on the new handle but it doesn't latch. In the chat session the technician wrote: "The spring attaches to the latch and the handle of the latch assembly on the tabs." But I'm sorry, I can't see how that it is done. I would like some kind of picture, if possible. Thanks,
1 Answer Hello Sherrie, The only illustration I could locate is hand drawn. There is one on page 15 and one on page 16 of the service manual. I would have sent you the illustrations but they cannot be displayed in this format. I apologize but, they can only be shared via e-mail. Read More...
Denny E. October 26, 2011 for Model Number KUDP021RBL2 I have a broken door latch handle (broken on both sides). Is there a way to install a new one without taking the whole door apart? Also, if I install a second spring on the other side wouldn't it be stronger and more balanced?
1 Answer Hi Denny. Make sure your unit is level side to side , front to back. All leveling legs touching the floor. This is the most common door latch failure issue cause. Then replace the latch assy. Part # 8193830 and you shouldn't need the 2- spring Part # WP8268540 to operate as manufacturer designs. Thank You. Read More...
