Dishwasher Dispenser Door Latch and Gasket

The Dishwasher Dispenser Door Latch and Gasket keeps the soap dispenser cover closed, and is mounted to the inside inner door panel of your dishwasher. To access the part, you will need to take off the door panel. Once you have this removed you should be able to see the old part is in place. Then remove the wax motor to complete the installation. Consider applying a small amount of sealer to the flat part of the latch, which will ensure a tighter seal. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the dishwasher and novice repair experience. You must unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner (item W10282479) to help remove limescale and mineral build-up that can be unsightly and affect your dishwasher’s performance. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
