The Dishwasher Door Latch Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. This kit includes the latch mechanism and necessary components to secure the dishwasher door during operation. The latch ensures that the door stays tightly closed, preventing water leaks and enabling the dishwasher to run its cycles efficiently.
You should replace the door latch kit if it becomes faulty or damaged. Common causes of a bad door latch include regular wear and tear from frequent use, physical damage from forceful closing, or misalignment over time. A compromised door latch can lead to the dishwasher not starting, interruptions during cycles, and potential water leaks.
Symptoms of a bad door latch kit include:
- Dishwasher door not staying closed
- Dishwasher not starting or stopping mid-cycle
- Water leaks from the door area
- Difficulty in latching or unlatching the door
This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
