Whirlpool Door Latch Assembly 99002254 OEM Part

The Dishwasher Door Latch Assembly serves as a genuine OEM replacement component, suitable for a range of Whirlpool dishwashers. Its primary function is to ensure the door remains firmly shut during use, containing water, detergent, and the dynamic action of the wash cycle within the appliance.

Over time, due to constant utilization, latch components may experience wear, resulting in reduced locking effectiveness. Consistent contact with water and detergent further poses risks of corrosion or developing cracks in the latch.

Signs that the door latch assembly may be failing include:

- The dishwasher door does not close fully or lock securely
- Visible gaps around the door that might lead to leaks
- The door unexpectedly opening mid-cycle
- Inability of the dishwasher to begin a cycle

Please note, this replacement part is supplied without a handle but includes two switches and a mounting holder.

This part is designed to be compatible with dishwashers from various brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, and some Kenmore models.

The primary issues this part addresses are:
- A non-starting dishwasher
- Malfunction of the door latch

Installing a new door latch assembly can rectify these concerns, ensuring the efficient operation of your dishwasher.
