This repair was straight forward and easy.....
Once you remove the inside panel of the door the latch becomes exposed and can be removed.
(For safety shut the power of at the circuit breaker for this appliance.)
Once the power is off the only problem I encountered was the electrical connection for the latch were stuck on.
You will need to use one or two pliers to pull the connections apart.
Once apart install the new latch, and replace all screws in the order you removed them.
This repair will take between 15 and 30 minutes depending on your ability to make home repairs.
