Whirlpool W10619006 Dishwasher Door Latch Assembly OEM Part

I found the door switch was not making contact when the door closed. I adjusted it, but then it would not open so the dishwasher would run when the door wasn't closed. The contacts were too long in the switch so they would bend and stay together when the door opened. The original switch was very poorly made for a very expensive Maytag dishwasher. The new switch you supplied was much better quality and easily replaced the one that was installed at the factory. I was a little baffled at the requirement to replace the striker on the machine, but it ended up being a quick flex and pull the old one out and then just push the new one back into it's place. The whole job took less than 30 minutes. Most of the time required was removing all the screws around the door and putting them back in. It did require a torx screwdriver to remove the door screws. Thanks for the quality parts.

I would have to keep un plugging the unit from the outlet. I noticed that during the wash cycle, when I opened the door the wash cycle would not stop as it did before. I suspected the door latch switch to be the issue. Once I ordered it, I replaced it by removing the torx screws from the inside of the dishwasher door. Then I un plugged the door latch switch and the control panel to remove the stainless steel door cover. Removal of the switch was easy as prying tabs. I replaced the switch with the new one and plugged all the terminals back. I then replaced the stainless steel door back on and put the torx screws back (remember that the torx screws in the top part of the door are larger than the rest of the sides). I tested the unit and it work fine.

I went to the Appliance Parts Pro site and reviewed the offered repair video. Then I ordered the replacement part. I was pleasently that the part arrived in one day. I had the part; I had the knowledge; I replaced the part. Works fine now.

Replaced door latch assembly. T15 torx, needle nose pliers. removed top door trim, loosened door panel. removed and replace switch and latch. Wiring harness for switch is flimsy use caution. A bit of a pain to align everything when going back together but overall not a bad repair. Must replace strike, the original one doesn't line up well. Latch slides out with a little help from needle nose pliers.

We ordered the part from AppliancePartsProcom. It came in a couple of days. The part was the correct one and my dishwasher is back to 100%. We are very pleased with the delivery time and the easy of ordering on their website.
