Easier than I thought once I got the correct part.
I had a hard time finding the correct part until I took the dishwasher a part. I had ordered the latch assembly, but that was not what I needed. I returned that, and ordered the handle, though I found I could use the dishwasher without the handle. It cost more than I expected, but new dishwashers do also. This is working weel for me now.

Excellent Advice & Parts on Handle Repair - KitchenAid
I'm a 75 yr old grandma & locally the appliance repair people are extremely busy. So searched for YouTube videos on repair of my KitchenAid Dishwasher & found PartSelect and it looked like I could do it. Called & Customer Service was very helpful & indicated there were 4 parts that could be the problem. He told me I could return any I did not use. When they arrived I completed the repair & used the previous post that indicated to use two springs on the handle so it would not break again. Only glitch - when putting in the final screw I dropped it in the bottom of the dishwasher and could not retrieve it. Luckily, local hardware store showed me screw drivers that are magnetic....Wow... Magic.... It was easy to remove the screw & complete the repair. Thank you for being there and helping me out - my first appliance repair.

Easy peasy!
Got my replacement dishwasher door handle and did my repair in just over 30 minutes. I did purchase the two tiny springs that attach to the latch so both would be new and have the same tension. I am a 65 year old woman, so if I can do this repair, anyone can.

Dishwasher Door Handle Replacement
The parts arrived in good condition in reasonable time. I viewed an online repair video ahead of doing the work. The actual replacement took about 10 minutes. The handle and springs are working fine now.

Dishwasher door could not remain closed
PartSelect made it clear in providing a clear diagram of dishwasher door making it very easy to find which parts were needed for repair.
Plastic arms on release handle broke door wouldn't latch shut
Took a good look at how old handle was installed put new handle in ordered extra spring since that option was there so have springs on both sides of handle use needle nose for that works great now
First I watched a YouTube video on replacing a latch. It seemed easy enough, and the guy recommended Part Select. After finding my model, watching the video for the specific latch assembly, reading the reviews/suggestions, I jumped at it. Quickly took the old parts out, and ordered new. I did order an extra spring because like one reviewe
... Read morer noted, having a spring on only one side of the latch is a design flaw, and the reason for the broken latch in the first place. My only problem came on reassembly. I should have taken a photo or two BEFORE taken everything apart. After several trials and errors it went quickly back together AND it worked perfectly.
I first looked on line and seen how it came apart, nest I got a breakdown showing all parts, ordered what I needed after I took unit apart and comfirmed broken handle. got parts in two days, took less than 30 minutes to replace, electric drill made the job go faster

Door would not close. Latch/handle broken
We first ordered just the latch, because I did not realize the handle was the part that was broken. The mistake was not actually opening up the control panel and seeing what needed to be replaced. Once we realized the problem, I ordered the Door Handle from Partselect. The whole latch mechanism was in pieces and I had to figure out how to
... Read more place to the pieces back together. The spring was the hardest part. Needlenose pliers and a pair of tweezers helped hook that up. Highly recommend taking the machine apart first, taking pictures of the mechanism and then that will help putting it all back together once you have the parts.

Broken handle
I wasn't sure at first what was causing my door not to latch. When I removed the dishwasher cover, I discovered that the handle had completely broken away on one side and was about to break on the other. It was fairly easy to change out, and I'm not mechanical at all. (Do I dare admit that I'm female?). Watching an online video helped
... Read more quite a bit. Since I was replacing the handle anyways, I went ahead and ordered new door release springs also. The dishwasher only comes with one, but there's space for one on each side, so I figured that two are better than one and they weren't expensive.
Remove 8 screws remove the front panel. Un clip the door lock device. The broken side was the side with the spring on. Remove the spring, attach the spring press the close into the two pins and re/assemble the front panel. Done. If I purchased the handle again I might order an extra spring to have one on each side.

Door handle was broken
Remove the six screws along the top half of the door. Remove top exterior panel. This does not disconnect all the way, leave the wire connections in place. They do not get in the way. Now remove the broken pieces of the door handle. You may need to pull out the clips on the two sides of the latch unit and remove that to extricate the han
... Read moredle completely. Next slide the new handle into position on the latch. You will need ti tilt it to align the pivot points correctly. Now gently press the slotted tabs onto the pivots on both sides. Take care not to press too hard. Once the tabs are seated correctly, attach the spring to the L-shaped pins on the latch and the handle. Gently slide the locking tabs on the latch onto the locks of the plastic frame. Press gently until they latch. You may need to adjust the latch assembly position to get it to sit exactly right. Test the handle to ensure it moves freely and slides back when released, and that the latching mechanism moves up and down correctly when you do so. Now carefully reposition the whole assembly back on the door and reattach with the six screws. You are done.

door latch broken
THe upper portion of the door was removed to gain access to the latch assembly.Removing wires and loosening nuts and micro switch screw allowed me to remove the assembly. The new unit fit perfectly and after repacing the wiring, nuts and screw. The upper prtion of the door was reattached. It now works as good as new. Thanks

Does the door handle come with the spring? When i removed the old handle their was only one spring on the left side of the handle. The side of the handle was completely broke off. It maybe inside the door itself.
For model number kudlo21rbs1
Hello Andrew,
Thank you for getting in touch.
The handle for your model does only have the one spring. If you decide you would like to replace that spring as well you would need to order part number PS11745447.
I hope you find this helpful!
First the door spring failed, which we have not replaced, now the door handle is failing. The cycle won’t start until you wiggle door handle. You can feel the door handle does not operate as before. What do u suggest? Are unused parts returnable?
For model number KUDS01IJWH0
Hello Fran, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the spring Part Number: PS11745447 and the handle Part Number: PS11745495. I also suggest checking the Latch, Part Number: PS886319 and the Actuator, Part Number: PS11746083 for damage. Any unused items can be returned within 30 days. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
When i try to start the machine the light on the panel (start button will not light up
