• Difficulty in closing or latching the washer door
• Door opening unexpectedly during the wash cycle
• Leaks or water seeping due to an improper door seal
• Excessive wear or damage to the latch components

Causes of a faulty door latch kit can include normal wear and tear over time, physical damage due to impact or mishandling, or issues with the door alignment or strike plate.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore washer models.
