Does this part just snap in place and how do you remove the broken one? Thanks
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your inquiry. This part should just be able to be popped off your appliance and then popped back into place. I hope this helps!

Hello,
The dishwasher intermittently beeps every hour or so and the light go on. It's closed and I've reset the breaker. Waiting to see if it resolves the problem but I saw something that mentioned it might suspect the door being opened and if so, a new door latch would be needed. Can this be done by a layman and would you be able to direct me to the specific part as I didn't see it on the model inventory. Thank you.

Hello Roger, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking the fuse which is a part of the wire harness assembly, part number PS11762972. Please make sure the fuse is not blown. The issue can also be related to a faulty door latch, part number PS6447681. If this does not help, the issue is most likely because of a faulty UI control board, part number PS16762510, and/or the main electronic control board, part number PS16729164. Customer service is always available to help you place an order if you are having trouble doing so. Good luck with your repair.

Hi Ronald, thank you for reaching out. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest you check the door latch, part number PS6447681, for any faulty switches. If that is not causing the issue, then you may need to check the main control board, part number PS12726420. We hope this helps!
Dishwasher won’t start flashing light on door lock
For model number Gdt655smjoes
Hello Jerry, thank you for reaching out. Try pressing the start or reset pad to reset the dishwasher and wait 2 minutes. If the problem persists, then you may need to check the door latch, part number PS6447681, to fix the issue. The door latch is attached to the tub frame and connects to the door strike to keep your dishwasher door closed during operation. If you have a broken or faulty door latch, your dishwasher door may not stay closed, and this can prevent the dishwasher from running. We hope this sorts out your problem!

dishwasher would not start
I watched a step by step video provided on the Fix It app. Easy to follow directions and only took minutes to tear apart and put back together. Didn't even require help from my husband. Although the latch and striker were not the problem, contacted parts select and they then recommended the electronic control board, they ordered it, had it shipped to me within a few days, another really easy fix I did using the You tube video. Fixed the problem lickety-split. I will never go without my fix it app. Entered all my appliances. Sure beats spending hundreds on appliance repairmen! Thank you Parts Select!
Nightmare!!! The Striker latch did not pop out with a screwdriver as it was supposed to. The whole dishwasher needs to be disconnected and pulled out, then front door removed and totally disassembled to remove the screw to replace the striker latch. lots of work to replace a striker latch. Bad design!

Doesn't complete dry cycle, no clean light, random noises as if door was closing
Removed toe kick. Removed door counter weights and placed door on soft surface. Removed two bolts(I was able to leave hinges in place) slid door panel down and off. Removed plastic snap fit cover and 4 bolts from UI board. Two of the stand-offs where broken, glued them back into place. Ensured jumpers were set to my model, snapped cover back in place and remounted door. The dishwasher now runs through the cycle and clean light but did not dry. That turned out to be a bad flood switch.
My son did the repair, I ordered both latch and striker, only needed the latch...only took him a few minutes to remove the old and install the new and works just fine
