The Latch Bolt is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This component is essential for securing the dishwasher door during operation, ensuring that it remains tightly closed to prevent water leaks and allow the dishwasher to run properly. The latch bolt engages with the door latch assembly, creating a secure seal.
Causes of a bad latch bolt can include regular wear and tear, damage from forceful closing of the dishwasher door, or misalignment that affects the latch's engagement.
Symptoms of a bad Latch Bolt include:
- The dishwasher door not staying closed
- Water leaking from the door during operation
- Difficulty in latching or unlatching the door
- The dishwasher not starting because it detects an open door
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The door latch would not catch as a result i was unable to use my dishwasher Joel C. • Shreveport , LA • January 09, 2016
I ordered the Door Switch Kit, along with a few other items. However, the switch kit was all that was needed. Isimply followed the instructions that came with the kit. It was necessary to cut the wires which connected to the wire assembly in the door of the dishwasher. I then connected the pieces from the switch kit and then connected the end pieces to the door. I closed the door, and started up the dishwasher. It worked as well as before.
