Whirlpool Door Latch WPW10404412 OEM Part

The Door Latch Assembly, an essential OEM component for Whirlpool dishwashers, plays a crucial role in maintaining the secure closure of the dishwasher door during use. This assembly comprises a latch for door security and a switch that controls the dishwasher's operation based on the door's closed or open status. Over time, the latch may need replacement due to wear, damage from frequent use, or alignment issues.

Signs of a defective Door Latch include:
- Difficulty in ensuring the dishwasher door shuts properly or stays closed.
- Instances where the dishwasher does not start or unexpectedly stops.
- Water leakage emanating from the perimeter of the dishwasher door.
- Unusual noises when attempting to close the door.

This part is compatible with a range of brands under Whirlpool's ownership, such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears. Additionally, Whirlpool produces components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances.
