Part #WPW10275768
This dishwasher door latch helps keep the dishwasher door securely closed during operation while housing the door switches that signal the appliance it is safe to begin a wash cycle. This part is JUST the latch, it does not include the handle. Please see model information to determine if the latch WITH the handle is available for your unit. Replacing a faulty latch can help resolve issues such as a door that will not close properly, a dishwasher that will not start, unexpected door opening during operation, water leaks, or intermittent power problems. This assembly includes the latch and switches but does not include the door handle. Installation typically involves disconnecting power to the appliance, removing the inner door panel to access the latch assembly, disconnecting the wiring harness, installing the new latch, and reassembling the door. For a complete repair, inspect the door strike, handle, and related door components for wear or damage and replace them as needed to ensure proper door operation and sealing.

Part #WPW10117748
This genuine inner door foam insulation strip, sometimes known as bottom seal foam, is used to create a waterproof seal that helps prevent leaking from the door area of the dishwasher. The existing insulation strip may leave a sticky residue or leftover disintegrated strip that must be scraped off before installing the new strip. Residue can be scraped off with a putty knife. Be sure to remove all residue and clean surrounding areas of the dishwasher build. It is strongly recommended to check other sealant parts on the dishwasher door such as the door gasket and dispenser grommet to ensure the leaking issue is fully solved.

Broken latch handle
1083 of 1121 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Walter from Tucson, AZ

The hardest thing was figuring out that you only need to purchase the latch handle because it only comes as a complete latch assembly, why they even list the latch assembly as a separate part in the parts list stupid. (you get the handle and latch already put together and it cost less than the latch assembly without the handle). Anyway al l you need to do is disconect the power from the dishwasher (unless you like to live dangerously like me) take your drill with the correct size torx bit and remove all the screws on the inside door pannel (the top center two screws actually hold the latch assembly in place). Disconect the 4 wires from the old part and reconect them to the new part and reinstall all the torx screws being careful not to strip the plastic threads that they screw into if you are using a drill. Whole process takes less than 5 minutes. I am surprised that Maytag used such a flimsy handle assembly in their dishwashers since they are supposed to have the repair men with the most time on their hands. They probably sell just as many handle assemblies as they do dishwashers that have this particular part in it, probably more since you will probably have to change it 2 or 3 times during the life of the unit.

Handle jammed and door wouldn't open on Maytag Quietseries 100 dishwasher

I Followed others' instructions already posted to replace the whole handle assembly. In particular, use a big screwdriver placed against the bottom of the handle and whack the grip with the palm of your hand to get the handle to move back to the open position so you can open the door and start the job. I am no handyman, but this fix was easy, about 30 minutes in all, most of which was spent figuring out which breaker to pull so as not to get shocked. One note of caution: use the correct screwdriver attachment (not a Phillips head or regular, but a star or something- see I am not a handyman but I do have a $15 screwdriver set that just paid for itself 10 times over!).

Remove the 8 or 9 torx screws holding the inner and outer door assembly together (leave the bottom screws in), lift the old handle assembly out, transfer the switches to the new handle assembly, and reassemble door.
