Dishwasher Latch Switch Parts

The Door Handle is an OEM part specifically designed for Whirlpool dishwashers. It controls access for loading and unloading dishes. 

Causes of a faulty handle could include worn plastic materials susceptible to cracking after years of use. Lever mechanisms sustain stress with each movement.

Symptoms of a bad door handle include:

• Failure to properly open or close the dishwasher door
• Loose, dangling, or detached handle operation  
• Fastener deterioration compromising secure fit 

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

Pressure switch that monitors water level and signals the washer control board when to start or stop filling. Replacing a failing pressure switch can help restore correct fill levels and normal cycle operation. What it does:

• Senses air pressure from the tub and tells the control when the correct water level is reached
• Stops the fill valve once the desired level is detected to prevent overfilling
• Can cause underfilling, overfilling, or failure to advance cycles when faulty
• Works with the washer's control system to ensure proper fill and cycle progression

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Shut off water supply and relieve any trapped water before accessing components
• Carefully disconnect wiring harness and air tube; note routing for reassembly

An integrated door switch for dishwashers that senses when the door is closed and allows the machine to start. Replacing a worn or damaged switch restores normal operation and helps prevent cycles from running with an open door. What it does:

• Detects door-closed position and tells the control board the door is secure
• Enables the dishwasher to start cycles only when the door is properly latched
• Prevents operation or pauses cycles if the door is open or not fully closed
• Common symptom: dishwasher won't start or stops mid-cycle when the door is opened

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service.
• Access typically requires removing the inner door panel or toe-kick; handle the door carefully to avoid damage.
• Replace the switch and reconnect wiring exactly as removed; ensure connectors are fully seated.
• After installation, restore power and ensure the door registers closed and the unit starts normally.

This push-button door switch detects when the appliance door opens and closes, enabling the interior light and informing the control system. Replacing a faulty switch restores normal door-sensing and light operation. What it does:

• Activates the interior light when the door opens and turns it off when closed
• Sends a door-open/closed signal to the appliance control so timed features behave correctly
• Commonly replaces a switch that causes the light to stay off or fail to turn off
• Helps eliminate intermittent lighting or door-sensing problems

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing the light housing or door trim; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Verify the old switch matches this part number and connector style before installing

This replacement door lock hook secures the appliance door latch assembly so the door stays closed during cycles, preventing interruptions and ensuring proper operation. Fits into the door/latch mechanism to engage the lock. What it does:

• Captures and holds the door strike so the door remains firmly closed during operation
• Helps the door lock switch engage properly to allow cycle start and prevent mid-cycle door openings
• Commonly replaced when the door won't stay closed, the latch feels loose, or the door intermittently unlocks
• Works as the mechanical mating piece for the door lock assembly

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Requires access to the door/latch area—some disassembly of the door or console could be needed
• Use basic hand tools and keep track of fasteners; avoid forcing plastic tabs to prevent breakage

The Push Button Switch is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It is an electro-mechanical button located on the control panel that allows users to select options and operate wash cycle features. 

Causes of a bad switch could be repeated pressing over time deteriorating the button mechanism. Liquid intrusion into the switch housing may also cause the failure of electronic components.

Symptoms of a failed switch include:

• The associated function no longer responds to button presses  
• Erratic or intermittent behavior when selecting options
• The switch button becomes stuck in the depressed position

Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore models as well, this switch helps prevent further control panel issues down the line.
