Crosley Dishwasher CDC400B Won't start or doesn't start

The Door Latch Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It securely fastens the dishwasher door closed during wash cycles to contain water, detergent, and wash motions within the tub. This dishwasher door switch assembly does not include the handle. It includes two switches and a holder.

Over time, latch components can wear from continual use and lose their ability to lock the door. Exposure to water and detergent may also cause corrosion or cracking.

Symptoms of a bad door latch assembly include:

• The dishwasher door not closing fully or securely during cycles  
• Gaps around the door allowing water and air leakage
• The door popping or opening unexpectedly mid-cycle
• Dishwasher will not start

This Whirlpool part fits dishwashers from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore models.

This replacement door handle restores a secure grip and normal door operation on compatible Whirlpool appliances. It provides a like-for-like fit and finish to replace a damaged, loose, or worn handle so doors open and close reliably. What it does:

• Replaces a broken, cracked, or missing door handle to restore normal use
• Provides a solid grip so the door opens and closes smoothly
• Matches the original mounting points for straightforward fit
• Helps eliminate rattling or loose-handle symptoms

• One replacement handle

• Intended to be installed with the original mounting screws and hardware; only included items ship
• Turn off and unplug the appliance or shut off power at the breaker before servicing electrical appliances
• Use moderate force when aligning the handle to avoid damaging trim or fasteners

This water level switch senses the dishwasher's tub float and controls the water inlet. Replacing a worn switch restores correct filling, helping prevent overfilling or dry cycles that can reduce cleaning performance. What it does:

• Monitors the float position to open/close the fill circuit at the proper water level
• Common symptoms: dishwasher won't fill or stops filling too soon
• May also cause continuous filling/overfill if contacts are stuck closed
• Intermittent operation can leave the tub underfilled and washing performance poor

What's included:

• 1 water level (float) switch

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the toe/kick panel to access the switch near the float assembly under the tub
• Note wire positions; transfer connectors one at a time and secure the switch in its bracket
• The float moves freely and actuates the switch before reassembly and testing
