Product review (5 stars): Fixes the original badly designed part
This improved model fixed a flaky top of the line Kenmore Elite (made by Whirlpool) that was always displaying a message to close the door even though it already was. A picture of the original Whirlpool part shows why it failed.  This new part looks totally different, but just install it because it will work,, just make sure you use the new metal striker which is included.  The question is why am I having to rebuild this $1100 machine piece by piece  (top rack roller assembly, bottom rack wheels, leaking feed tubes to the center and upper sprayer arms made of very low grade brittle plastic.
