Description

Door latch assembly that secures the appliance door and enables the unit to detect a closed door so cycles can start. Replacing a damaged latch restores reliable door closure and proper operation. What it does:

• Secures the door and engages the door-switch/lock circuit so the appliance recognizes a closed door.
• Helps prevent leaks and ensures cycles start only when the door is properly latched.
• Common symptoms: door won't stay closed or latch, appliance won't start, intermittent locking or clicking noises.
• Replaces worn, cracked, or broken latch assemblies to restore normal door function.

What's included: Includes one door latch assembly. Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; for water-connected appliances also shut off the water supply.
• Remove the appropriate door panel or access cover per the service manual and keep original fasteners.
• Position the new latch, secure with the original screws without overtightening, then test door operation and a trial cycle before finishing reassembly.
