Handle and Latch Assembly with Switches

The 2 harness connectors to the switches would not come off. I had to finally remove the 2 new switches from the new handle/latch assm. and plug in the old ones with the harness bables still attached to them.This worked fine and resolved the door problem. Unfortunately, I am now forced to use the old original switches while the new switches remain in the shipping box. If the old switches go out, I have no idea how to remove the connectors so I can attach them to the new switches.

I thought I'd be smart and go to Sears Parts and get the door handle with latch assembly. They had to order it, cost nearly $60.00 when I received it the handle was not part of the assembly. This really ticked me off, so I jumped on the internet, found Part Select that provided not only the handle with the assembly, but included the switches as well for half the price. Ordered it, three days later it arrived. Took less than 15 minutes to install the assembly and put the screws back in. Dishwasher is working like a charm. Thanks PartSelect for your prompt assistance with this. You've won over a new customer for future appliance repair parts.

Removed the screws that held the inside panel'this allowed teh latch assembly to be removed and allowed me remove the from the latch. I then pluged the wires in the switches on the new latch. I remounted the new latch and reinstalled the inside panel. Job complete in about 30 min!!!

Upon noticing that my latch was broken I removed the 10-12 torx scres from the inside of the front panel. After lifting up the inside panel, I removed the two floats from the latch assembly. I did not turn off the power at the breaker but did get a few volts in removing the float switches. When I received my parts, it took about 15 minutes to reattach the handle kit to the front panel and seal up the door. I did turn the power off at the breaker so there was no issue in stalling the wires and float switches to the handle assembly. I di order both the Latch and Latch Assembly that was shown in the picture without the latch. I was happy to see the latch already atteched to the latch assembly and I have sent the latch back for a full refund. Easy assembly and install.

Open the door completely. Inside of the dishwasher door, remove all of the screws that hold the panel. Remove the broken Latch assembly by unplugging the two electrical wiring connections. Connect the new replacement Latch assembly to the electrical connections. Position it as it should be. Realign the panel cover and replace all the screws! [**Be careful to not "strip" the the receivers that the screws go into. I would suggest to hand tighten with a screwdriver. ]

Removed inner door panel. Removed latch . Removing wire connectors from switches was difficult. Replaced latch. Reassembled. Done.

Removed screws holding inside liner to door. Seperated the two revealing latch assembly. Removed two electrical plugs from latch. Installed plugs on new latch assembly. Put door and liner together and reinstalled screws with screw setting of driver on lowest torque setting. Hand tightened and tested. Whole job less than 10 minutes. Super easy, wife impressed!

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.

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 !

I had to push at the old latch with a screw driver to get the door opened and then removed about 14 screws and opened the back of the door, removed the two wires from broken latch. Replaced the wires to new latch, set in place and replaced the 14 screws closed the door and was is good as new.
Easy as pie.

Unfortunately I’d done this repair before. It seems that this particular part has cheap plastic components inside and seems wear out every 2 or 3 years. The fortunate thing is PartSelect stocks this part, ships it quickly and it’s an easy repair. Just take the screws out of the inner door liner and pull out the latch, disconnect the wires and reconnect to the replacement and screw everything back like it was. Took me 10 minutes.

Simple repair. First and most important: Turn off the power at the circuit breaker panel. Next, remove 8-9 torx head screws holding the inside panel on the door. Pull the handle assy. away from the door and unplug the two electrical plugs from the handle. Mark or remember which side each goes on. Plug the two electrical plugs into the new handle assy. and place in back into it's position in the door and reassemble the door panel. Turn the power back on at the breaker box.
