Siemens Latch, Catch, Lock Parts

This door opening lever is the replacement release lever that lets the appliance door latch open and close smoothly, restoring reliable door-opening action and making everyday use easier. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, broken, or cracked lever that releases the door latch.
• Lets the door latch release properly so the door opens without excessive force or sticking.
• Works with the latch assembly to help ensure the door closes securely and operates smoothly.
• Addresses common symptoms such as a loose or unresponsive door handle, difficulty opening the door, or a lever that snaps.

• Disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before attempting any repair.
• Access may require removing the door trim or outer panel; basic hand tools are typically needed.
• Inspect surrounding latch components while replacing the lever and replace any damaged hardware.

This door latch assembly secures the door closed and signals the control that it's safely shut, allowing cycles to start and run. Replacing a worn latch restores a reliable safety interlock and consistent operation.
