5304525219 Frigidaire Dishwasher Latch

Dishwasher Latch Overview.

The Latch Assembly, designed for Frigidaire dishwashers, is a genuine OEM part. This assembly ensures the dishwasher door stays closed and secure throughout the washing cycles. Frigidaire is a brand under the umbrella of companies including Electrolux, Gibson, and Tappan, and this part is compatible with certain models from these brands as well.

The need for replacement typically arises from normal wear and tear due to frequent opening and closing of the dishwasher door. Additionally, common cleaning agents like rinse aids may accelerate the deterioration of latch components.

Indications of a malfunctioning latch assembly include:

- The dishwasher door opening unexpectedly during operation.
- Challenges in closing the door completely or achieving a tight seal.
- Misalignment or poor sticking of door gaskets and seals.
- Visible damage or wear to the latch's connecting parts over time.

This replacement part is also suitable for use with some models from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore.
