The exact part I needed!
I searched for a replacement door latch for a 15+yr old Frigidaire dishwasher. Customer service quickly identified my part. A big bonus was a replacement door gasket was included and I didn’t even know I needed one. 10 minute install.

Easiest Repair Ever!
I was this close to hiring someone to fix our dishwasher handle after it snapped off. But a neighbor told me if I ordered the part he could fix it for me really fast. Well, I figured that meant I could fix it myself! The video here was well produced and easy to follow. All I needed was the super special screwdriver for the interior screws and BOOM! Done in 15 minutes!

Door latch was bad so the machine wouldn't start
Unscrewed the screws on the door, opened it. Swapped out the latch. Screwed the door back together - GOOD AS NEW!

Door latch snapped off
Viewing the instruction video provided online made my repair process extremely easy. Only thing that held me up was finding a tool to help me remove the torque screws from the latch. Thank goodness for inheriting my grandfather's tools and eventually finding the right bit. The latch came with a new gasket but I recommend not replacing it
... Read more if it's not necessary. I did replace ours at first but it was too thick and caused our dishwasher to leak. So I placed our original gasket back after cleaning it up and it works just fine. This wife was able to complete this project with two kids under the age of 4 and a hyper border collie running around while the husband was at work.

the latch and gasket came 2 days after I ordered the part. the repair was very simple and only required taking a few screws out, attach the four plugs and put back together, very simple and very pleased with how quickly the part arrived!

Broken latch to open dishwasher
I unscrewed the front panel by using the screws at the top, inside of the dishwasher (I also unscrewed the screws at the bottom, inside, but that wasn't necessary). It took a little coaxing, but I gently pulled one wire at a time from the old unit and replaced that wire before going to the next. After all wires were attached, I screwed
... Read morethe new unit to the body. Really easy. I just was puzzled why I received instructions to replace the gasket and none for the dishwasher latch.

Dishwasher Door Latch Broke, Door Kept Falling Down
Door Latch was almost a breeze. Do turn off power. The shock left me know that I was alive. Took 6 screws out. Sat on chair in front so that the panel could lay on my lap. The hard part was pulling the old wires off the old latch. Got it. Installed new latch. Replaced screws. Took about 15 minutes. Springs. Took off front panel
... Read more, cleaned front panel. Found where springs connected to teflon hooks on door, hoot spring to door and hooked in hole on bottom brace stretching the spring. Did same for other spring. Time: 15 minutes with cleaning.
Opened it up, replaced, closed it back. Didn't bother installing the gasket since that's still in good shape.

Broken Handle.
Relatively easy to repair.
1 - Removed the 6 inside screws. and control panel came right out. 2 - Had to use a hex driver to remove the screws holding the latch ot the door. Easy enough, just two screws. 3 - Reassemble.
Toughest part of the job was getting the four wires off the latch. Used needlenose p

I was suprised when I received the parts. There were directions on replacing the gasket but nothing for the door latch. Short of this, it was the right part and I received it on two days. Thanks

I've replaced the latch switch twice on my Frigidaire dishwasher. Each time, i've changed the switch, it lasts approximately a year, then the machine won't start. The machine just stopped for a third time in two years. I find that if i hold the door, while closed (of course), the machine will run . If i take my hand away, the machine stops running. If i touch and hold door lightly, the machine continues to run. Take my hand away, machine stops. I watched an entire tv show while holding my hand against the door, and did a load of dishes. Please help. What is the solution???
For model number FDB658RAC1
Hi Howard,
Thank you for your inquiry. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the door latch again, but also the door strike, the detergent and rinse dispenser, the door spring, the spring linkage, the bottom door gasket and the tub gasket. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I want to replace my dishwashers door handle. There are two part numbers for the door replacement hatch, what is the difference between the manufacturers part number 5304442173 and 5304442175. Both descriptions are for a dishwasher door latch kit. Which one should i order?
