Whirlpool W10862259 Dishwasher Door Latch Assembly OEM Part

After finding the model number for my dishwasher, I looked on line for the part and ordered it. The part arrived next day. I was a little hesitant to tackle it myself, as I am a 67 year old female. However I decided I could do it and was all set until I found out that I needed a Torx screwdriver. This however was not going to stop me. At a trip to my neighbor I was able to find bit for a drill that would let me remove one screw. The next stop was to my favorite hardware store where I showed them the screw and stated that I needed a screwdriver that would remove this kind of screw. Ten screws later the back of the door was remover and the broken handle fell out. I removed the connectors,not as easy as I expected, it took a lot of force to get them off. Replacing the handle and replacing the door was the easy part. Oops, I forgot to tell that I turned off the breaker to the dishwasher before removing the door. So now I was ready to turn it back on and voila, it worked. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

First I went to AppliancePartsPro.com and searched my part by model number. Next watched the short "how to" video. The ordered parts arrived in a few days. The replacement part fit precisely. My wife was very happy.

I removed inside cover from Dishwasher, Located latch and removed electrical couplings then replaced with new Latch. Discovered old latch had actually had hinge bars loose and not able to re secure. Placed cover back on washer re srewed securely and closed door and checked working order it worked like a dream.

My best friend has cancer, she is doing great and on the road to recovery. I got a call from her, she had broken the latch on her dishwasher. I went over and took a look at it, neither one of us had ever attempted to work a dishwasher before. I got all the info, model #, etc. Ordered the part from you, it came right on time, was easy to install, and worked like a charm.

Open the circuit breaker to the dishwasher, fully open the door, remove a few screws (need torx bit set), shift the inner cover out of the way, unplug the electric switches, reverse steps to install the new assembly.
