WD21X10490 General Electric Standard Dishwasher Door Latch Tub Side

Standard Dishwasher Door Latch Tub Side.

If your dishwasher fails to start or the door does not lock correctly, you might need to replace the door latch. This part is compatible with various GE brands, including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. It is designed to ensure the door remains securely closed during cycles by using an engaging bolt mechanism.

With regular use, certain components of the latch may show signs of wear, such as the plastic catch areas becoming worn, screws loosening, or the latch hook mechanism failing. These issues typically result from normal use.

Indicators of a malfunctioning latch are:

- The door not closing securely or opening unexpectedly.
- The door failing to lock or latch despite applying pressure.
- Screws that are damaged or stripped, which compromise the latch's effectiveness.

This replacement part also works with some models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
