Handle on dishwasher broke
Couldn't justify having a repairman come to the house for a 5 year old appliance, so there was nothing to lose by trying to do this myself.
I removed about a dozen screws that held the inside door panel to the door, two of the screws held the handle assembly in place. Pulled the wires off of the old handle assembly with a pair of pliers, fastened the wire harnesses to the new assembley and reinstalled the door panel. Repair was simple.

Latching mechanism broke / door would not close.
Removed the 11 torx screws from the door panel and separated the inner door from the outer panel to expose the latch mechanism. Killed power to d/w, unplugged the two interlock switches from the old latch and removed it. Installed the new switch assembly and reconnected the switches. Easiest repair job ever - took less than 10 minutes. Only catch is that you need a T-20 torx driver for the screws.

Very hard to open dishwasher - Latch was broken
The repair was so easy. I just unscrewed the inner door panel , unplugged the old latch, attached the new and put the panel back. Thanks to all the other comments which gave me the confidence to attempt this repair. The hardest part was disconneting the old electric connections but with a little bit of "coaching" they came off OK. Thanks again.

Easy fix for a broken door latch
Removed the screws that attach the inside of the door, keeping them in order. Two are longer. The part is loose at that point and the wires un clip with a little pull with a needle nose. Replaced with the new part, re screwed and good as new. oh and turned off the breaker before disassembly.

dishwasher door would not open
I had to force the door open, the latch was broken . This was the second Latch that has failed The previous time it cost me $90 plus several days to have it repaired.
I ordered the part on line about noon. The next morning UPS was at my door with a package. Talk about great service !
The install was a breeze, took about 15 minuets to remove about 8 screws and the old part and replace with the new part. Total cost was about $30...and very little down time. Great service, great company to work with !

The black latch broke where the metal pin goes through it
I first took of the inside door panel approx 9 screws. The latch assy was the top of the door panel that I took off. Took the wires off both side of the assy and attached them to the new assy. I re-attached the inside door panel. it was a very easy fix. No other dealers in the area had the part. I order the part from parts select and was back in action within three days.

latch had broken off inside
removed all the torx screws that hold the inside panel to the door. Removed the latch/switch.[Don't forget to turn off the power] Could not remove the wiring harness from the micro switch so I removed the old micro switches from the old switch and moved them to the new switch, harness and all. repositioned the latch and reattached the panel.
there are two latches available. I ordered the wrong one at first. Got the correct one in just two days. Was able to return to wrong one for credit.
Great service. Glad I didn't call a repairman.

latch handle broken
the removal of panel was simple, the removal of electrical connections was difficult even with a little wd 40 i was nervous when any metal part is attached to a plastic part. it didn't want to let go but my suggestion is to work the connecter back and forth forward and back to get it started then with a firm grip on the wire harness with pliers pull the two apart with pliers. good luck!!!

Dishwasher difficult to open due to broken latch
Disconnect power first. Removed all the screws on the inside of the door, pulled the inside part of the door away from the front part to gain access to the latch, disconnecting the wires was the most difficult part since the connectors didn't want to slide off the metal tabs very easily, replaced the latch and put everything back together. When I ordered the part, I wasn't sure if it was going to be just the handle, but I was glad it was the entire latch assembly.
