Broken latch on dishwasher prevented operation
Broken latch on dishwasher prevented operation Door Latch Bolt PS11741367 replacement instruction.
There are no instructions known to mankind on this part, however I did manage said replacement through determination and beer. First I looked it up on the internet. All kind of results, except for the model I was working on.
... Read moreCalled, very nice woman directed me to yet another YouTube presentation for another model. As this was no help, I chose to not call her back. Not her fault. So, I did what every instruction for the other models called for, disconnect the power. Seemed like a good idea if everyone suggested it. After that, remove the inner door by removing the screws. At this point I would like to mention that I also ordered and paid for what I thought would be a set of inner door screws to replace the old and weathered ones. However, they sent me one screw. Who in their right mind would pay $5.10 for ONE SCREW? Well, your looking right at him. I felt like I sold the family cow for a magic bean, but that’s another story. So, without instructions, I compared the part I ordered with the one installed in the door. It matched up in many ways, with exception for the fact I would not budge from it’s position, wiggle yes, remove no. I stared at it for 10 minutes with no further progress. Something has to give. I decided to remove the cover of the electronics with the hopes and optimism of a child. It also did not want to be removed. Back to YouTube and the computer. Nothing. I stared at it for another 10 minutes. Drank a beer, and started to “horse” it off, somehow it became ajar, and was finally removed. Upon examination of the old door latch bolt, I noticed that it was attached to the electronic mass by 4 wires. I used my phone camera to record which went where with false hopes that the repair was in reach. It was either me or the dishwasher. At this point, good money was on the dishwasher. After recording and removal of said wires, I took the entire door latch and whatever the other piece was, to a table for further study, and another beer. After said study and beer, I remembered looking at other parts, one came to mind, a small teflon rod. As I look upon the part I knew about, I noticed it was adhering to the alien part with wires by 2 small teflon rods. I found a small nail, and pushed them out of the part, and they final separated. I replaced the old part with the new one and then reversed all steps and procedures, attached wires, reattached electronic cover, screwed down the inner door, shut main door, and started a dish cycle. Works perfectly. You may ask about the expensive screw. I took it to a local jeweler, who found nothing remarkable about it. As there must be SOMETHING about it that makes it valuable, so I had it mounted and framed in a nice display case for friends and family to treasure for years to come. A real conversation piece, and one more thing to dust.

Do you sell the set of 8 screws that go around the inner panel?
What model/size of (torx) screwdriver do I need?
I have a mild roach infestation inside the door, including the filter / vent.
I have removed the panel a long time ago for the same reason but can't find my screwdriver and the screws are getting worn, some rusty. Should I replace the filter also? Any further ideas to treat this bug problem?
For model number DU920PWKB0
Hello Jean-Louis, thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we sell the screws individually as part PS11753386. The size is 8-18 X.750 MTR 6L. You may need to replace the vent PS11741302 if that is how the bugs are getting in. We hope this helps.
The door original door screws are becoming loose. They do not hold the two door panels together well.
1. What do the screws fasten into on the door assembly? If the holes are worn and stripped, what part is needed to be replaced so that the screws will hold? Without taking the door apart, I cannot see what the screws are going into.
For model number GU980SCGS3
Hi Melaine, thank you for your inquiry. If the screws are loose, you may have a damaged door frame, part number PS11747071, and need to be replaced. This frame holds the inner and outer door panels in place. We hope this information is useful!
