Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dishwasher Door Latch Strike (Part Number: OEM18068367)

1 Answer

Dan, with the power supply turned off to the dishwasher, the door latch WPW10653840 would need to be tested for continuity. If there is no continuity when the door is closed (or latch in the closed position) then it would need to be replaced. If the latch tests properly, then the likely failure would be in the main control W10751502 not properly reading the door being in the closed position.

Danny, if you press the two outer tabs on the strike down, this will allow you to pull the strike out from the front and the new one will just slide in and lock itself into place.

Hello Matthew. It sounds like the strike is broken and is not making contact with the locking tabs on the frame of the unit. If so, you will need to replace the strike.
