Removed about ten screws which secured the inner liner in door. Two of those screws also were designed for double duty as they also held the handle assembly in place. The handle has two electrical connectors to remove. Reconnect the assembly and reassemble inner liner screws. The fix was easy. New handle assembly has a steel pivot pin instead of plastic so replacement part/assembly addresses the failure mode.

Shut off braker to dishwasher. Took inside door panel off along with door latch. Pulled circuits off of old door latch. Plugged circuits into new door latch and reattached door panel. Done. Took about 20 mins to complete. We did watch a 2 min repair video on line and that really helped to guide us. Easy repair. Sure beats having to pay someone $100 or more to come in and do it. The only cost was for the part. It was here 2 days after we ordered it online.

I removed the inner panel on the door by taking out 10 torx head screws and moved it aside without removing any wires. The handle switch assembly was held in place by two of the screws so it was already loose. I slid the connectors (2) off the switch and replaced it with the new one. I moved the switch back in place and put the cover back on with the screws, closed the door and it was fixed!

After checking the door switch I found the micro switches were working but the unit would not start on the control panel. Thinking the latch was worn, I ordered a replacement. After changing the replacement latch and switches that came with it, the unit would still not start. I checked the switch and it is making contact. I can start the unit after I close the door using the handle of a pair of pliers. So I assume the control board is bad, due to the fact that it will not initialize the control panel until the door is closed. Now I have ordered a control board and will replace...stay tuned!!

Ordered door latch assembly tuned off breaker pried door open as it was closed.. took 10 screws out of door ,unplugged 2 plugs popped nrw part in put screws back...fixed easy job...took about 10 minutes saved at least $100 dollars part was delivered in 2 days. The hardest part was getting the door open to fix it.

I took off the door panel by removing the 8 torx head screws. The two electrical plug on t=each side of the handle were very tight. I used a non-metalic pry bar to remove them. Attached the new handle , installed the screw and started up the dishwasher. The kids were very pleased that the handle was received in only two days.

Probably from hanging on a tall item as the upper rack was pulled out. One of the retaining tabs was broken and the rotating arm would not stay in place.

I first shut of the breaker, since I would be working with the wiring. After gently prying the door open, I unscrewed the plastic panel from the inside of the door. The cracked parts of the latch were very obvious. That assembly also came loose with the panel mounting screws. It was easier to pry the switches from the old latch assembly than to unplug the wires from the old switch and, since they were still in good working order, I install them on the new assembly. I then replaced the screws and finished the job.

I took the plastic part of the door off and then I took the handle unit off by pulling off two wire connection hooked up the wire connections just by pushing them together screw the unit to the door put the plastic part back and it was done.

Finally had to remove front foot panel and laminated top. Removed screws on back and one side to get to open cabinet to insert hose properly.

Before starting job found step by step video of repair on You Tube, part was slightly different, but steps were all the same. Removing and replacing all the screws on the door panel took more time then the part it self.

Repair has been delayed due to the fact that I do not own the right size bit for the screw.

My brother was able to install the part. I am happy to say it works as well as before.I please you delieved my part so quickly. You have good service.
