Dishwasher Latch Switch Parts

Color: Black

This door latch and strike plate secure the door closed and engage the safety interlock so the appliance can start and run reliably. Replacing a worn latch restores consistent door closure and prevents nuisance cycle interruptions.

• Locks the door by engaging the strike, keeping it closed during operation
• Ensures the door-closed interlock/microswitch is actuated so cycles can start
• Helps prevent the door from popping open mid-cycle
• Common symptoms: door won't latch or stay closed, unit won't start, cycle stops when the door is jostled

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Open the door and remove the inner-panel screws to access the latch area
• Remove the old latch/strike; align and install the new components
• If your model uses a separate microswitch, transfer/reuse it as required and test door engagement before reassembly

This replacement switch assembly restores proper signaling between the dishwasher's mechanism and the control, so selected functions register and cycles can start and run consistently. A worn or failed switch can cause intermittent or no operation. What it does:

• Provides the on/off signal the control needs when the mechanism is actuated
• Can lead to a dishwasher that won't start or stops mid-cycle when failing
• May cause options or selections to be unresponsive or require extra pressure
• Heat damage or a broken actuator on the switch assembly can indicate failure

• 1 switch assembly

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing
• Access location varies by model; refer to your model's parts diagram/service information
• Photograph wiring and move connectors one at a time to the new assembly
• Verify secure connections and proper wire routing to prevent pinching during reassembly

This door switch detects when the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched. Replacing a worn or intermittent switch restores reliable start/stop operation and ensures the safety interlock cuts power whenever the door is opened.

• Senses door-closed status and sends a signal to the control
• Interrupts power to the machine when the door opens
• Helps prevent operation with an unlatched door
• Typical failure symptoms: won't start, stops mid-cycle if the door is bumped, or only runs when pressing on the door

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the latch/switch area by removing the inner door panel or console; note wire locations
• Transfer wires one at a time and secure the new switch in the bracket
• Verify latch engagement and switch actuation before restoring power

Restore a secure, reliable door closure. This replacement door latch engages the door mechanism so the appliance recognizes the door is closed and can operate as intended, preventing nuisance "won't start" issues caused by a broken latch. What it does:

• Keeps the door closed and properly aligned with the catch
• Engages the door mechanism/switches so the unit can run when shut
• Replaces worn or broken latch hook tabs
• Common symptoms: door won't close or stay latched; unit won't start; must push/hold door to run; visible broken latch hook

• 1 door latch

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Access the door's inner panel/trim to reach the latch; protect glass and finishes
• Note spring/clip orientation if present and transfer any reusable hardware
• Test door latching and proper operation before final reassembly

The Rotating Handle is an OEM part for Whirlpool mixers. It allows you to raise and lower the mixing bowl for convenient access during the mixing process.

A bad rotating handle can be caused by regular use, accidental damage, or excessive force applied during operation. If you notice cracks, a loose or wobbly fit, or difficulty in rotating the handle smoothly, it may indicate a problem with the handle itself.

Symptoms of a bad rotating handle include:

• Cracked or damaged handle surface
• Loose or insecure fit of the handle on the mixer
• Inability to raise or lower the mixing bowl 

Replace your faulty handle with this genuine OEM part to restore your mixer. 

This Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
 

This dishwasher microswitch is the snap-action switch used in the door-latch interlock. It signals the control when the latch is engaged so cycles start and continue only when the door is securely closed.

• Senses latch position and sends an open/closed signal to the control
• Failure signs include the cycle not starting, stopping when the door is bumped, or needing to press on the door/handle to run
• Restores reliable door-closed detection and safe operation
• Direct replacement for a worn, sticking, or inconsistent switch

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing
• Note wire positions (COM/NO/NC); transfer any actuator/lever or bracket from the original switch
• Ensure a positive "click" and correct continuity before reassembly
• Latch and strike alignment after installation

This switch assembly restores electrical on/off control for a specific appliance function. Replace a worn or failed switch to stop intermittent operation and return reliable control to the affected circuit. What it does:

• Provides the electrical on/off or function control for the appliance circuit.
• Replaces a failed switch that can cause intermittent operation or unresponsive controls.
• Helps resolve symptoms such as a function that won't start, no response from the control, or erratic switching.
• Connects to the existing wiring harness and mates with the original mounting points.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.

This limit switch is a safety control for compatible cooking appliances. It opens or closes an electrical circuit when a preset limit is reached—commonly temperature or travel—helping protect components and ensure proper operation of heating and latch systems.

• Monitors a specific limit at its mounting point (temperature or mechanism travel, depending on model)
• Opens/closes the circuit to interrupt or allow power to related components
• A failed switch can prevent heating, stop self-clean from starting, or keep the door from locking/unlocking
• Helps protect wiring and controls from damage during abnormal conditions

• Disconnect power to the appliance and allow all components to cool before servicing
• Access location varies by model; take photos and label wires before removal
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch; secure with existing hardware
• If the old switch tripped due to overheating or binding, inspect fans, vents, and latch/linkages to correct the root cause

Oven light switch.
