This replacement part is a door latch assembly for a dishwasher. The latch keeps the appliance door closed while it is running, and prohibits the dishwasher from starting when the door is open. Depending on your model, you will need to remove approximately eleven screws to remove the inner panel and access the latch assembly. The latch assembly is connected by two wiring harnesses that are nearly identical, so it is recommended to make note of where each harness goes before continuing with the repair. You will need a Torx screwdriver to complete the repair. Disconnect the dishwasher from the power source before beginning this repair.

Easy repair, great part!
The part was exactly what I needed to fix my dishwasher. Easy to install/replace and dishwasher is back in working order. The only downside is the price of the part but was still the cheapest I could find. Highly recommend if your dishwasher door handle broke.

Punctual delivery and the right part but...
I got the right part, and I installed it already. My dissatisfaction is the color. I could not find on the website the same part number in white, which was the color of the original part of my Amana dishwasher.

The dishwasher handle was broken. This has happened before, a few years ago. It was over 150.00 to fix
This was incredibly easy. First of all the part came in just a few days and I could have had it earlier if I wanted expedited shipping. I turned off the main power to the dishwasher from the fuse box. I used a screwdriver to take the screws out of the door, unplugged the handle (literally one piece) and plugged the new one in, replaced t

Turned off electricity to dishwasher before starting. Very important. Removed screws on door with torx screwdriver. Was unable to separate wire assembly from old handle manually and paused, a little frustrated and not wanting to break anything. Put nose of needle nose pliers between wire assembly and handle, pulled pliers apart and they p

Door handle broke......could not unlatch and open door, had to forcefully pull it open
Took out 11 stainless screws that hold in inside door panel, pulled out latch assembly. The only reason the repair took as long as it did, had a hard time pulling the contacts out of the wire harness, I was terrified that I would break the plastic plugs. This dishwasher is probably 20 years old or older and plastic gets really brittle wit
... Read moreh age. The left side came out a little easier than the right one. When I got brave and tugged harder I managed to break the offset contact inside of the plug. Just gave it one desperate powerful tug wit my pliers and out it came, thank goodness the plug itself wasn't damaged. Put assembly in place, ligned up the screw holes in the door panel, put screws back. Works like a charm. The black color of the handle does not perturb me, It is recessed and only shows when dishwasher is running. By the way I'm a 75 year old female and am rather proud of myself. Lol

Door Latch Broken - hard to open the door
The door latch would not work at all, just moved but did not engage. I was not sure if I needed to get the assembly with the Door Handle or not, but once I took it apart I saw the plastic on the handle was broken and also needed to be replaced. Took out the screws around the outside of the door and then pried back the inner door to all
... Read moreow the door latch assembly to come out. A little tough to get the wire off the switch on the old part, had to break them off and then prior the contacts out the the switch with some pliers. The new switch went in without a hitch, the existing outer door screws also are used to hold the latch in place. Overall, took about 15 minutes, and i probably did not to take off half of the screws on the inner door to get to the latch assembly. Removing and replacing all those screws took the longest amount of time.

So just to clarify: The handle piece is black, correct? The white handle in the picture is kind of throwing me off.
Hi Dax,
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, the handle is black in color. The wrong image was entered onto the webpage and we are working on updating it. We apologize for any confusion this has caused. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

So i already bought the part without the handle, do i need this part also, or should i return that and get this instead? Really and truly, it's the handle that broke, not the whole assembly.
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your question. I would probably suggest contacting our customer service and returning your other part. The handle only comes with the whole assembly, so this would be the correct part that you are looking for. Good luck with your repair.

What part do I need to order to replace the door latch on this Amana dishwasher. Also, will my old white handle work on the new latch?
For model number ADB2500AWW
Hi Nita, Thank you for the question, You can use the old handle on the Latch, PartSelect Number PS11751688 or replace the full Door Handle and Latch Assembly - Black, PartSelect Number PS11731673. You will need to use the black handle but this assembly is a upgraded version from the old one that was easy to break. In most cases the handle is not that noticeable.Hope this helps!

My door latch keeps sticking so i'd like to get a new one. How can i tell which one i need without a multimeter since i don't own one and don't want to buy one just for this. I assume it's this one since the handle is my problem. Confused between this model and the one called door latch with switches - no handle. Thank you.
For model number ADB1500AWB3
Hello Elizabeth, thank you for your question. The door handle and latch assembly is part number Door Latch WPW10130695. This would include the latch as well as the handle, and would be the exact replacement part you would need to order to fix your problem. The handle is only available in black now. I hope this information helps!
