Product review (5 stars): You can do it
This is the fourth latch my husband has replaced! And no, not all in our home. He's a handy type of guy, and replaced these handles in friends dishwashers also. According to him, Whirlpool had a design flaw, which keeps these latches from being sturdy. So don't feel bad if your latch has broken, it wasn't your fault. This latch is easy to install, but does require quite a bit of tear apart to get the old latch out and the new latch in. If you are comfortable using a screw driver and have patience, give it a whirl- pun intended!
