The Latch is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is essential for securing the dishwasher door during operation, ensuring that the door stays closed and the dishwasher can run its cycles effectively. The latch mechanism also engages the door switch, which signals the dishwasher to start its cycle.
Over time, latches can wear out or become damaged due to repeated use, exposure to moisture, or accidental force. A malfunctioning latch can prevent the dishwasher from starting or lead to leaks during operation.
Symptoms of a bad Latch include:
- Dishwasher door not staying closed
- Dishwasher not starting
- Leaks around the door during a wash cycle
- The door latch feeling loose or not engaging properly
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
Note: This lock has a White bezel. For the Grey bezel, order W10861642.
