Product review (5 stars): Easiest thing I've done all day - Highly recommend
Doesn't get any easier... Broke the latch handle off my Amana (yes it says whirlpool but it fits my Amana) years ago. So long ago that my kids have never known what it was like to have a latch on it to open it. We always gave it a hard pull and it would open. I noticed the other day that the faceplate was starting to crack from all the pulling so I decided I'd better get the latch replaced for $28 as opposed to $128 for the faceplate.  The latch assembly arrived much sooner than estimated by Amazon. Like 7 days early. Then it took a whole five minutes to install.  I can't believe I put this off for 10 years!  My son who is fifteen came home from school got a drink and proceeded to put his glass in the dishwasher. He let out a "What the?" as he reached for the latch and then started laughing.  "So this is how it's supposed to work," he said. So much easier than tugging on the door.  Two comments.  First, you'll need a star bit set to remove the screws. T15 I think. Maybe T20.  Don't even have to remove all the screws. Just the top 9.  Unplug the old assembly, plug in the new and screw it back up. 5 mins tops.  Second, what a piece of crap the original latch assemble was that there are almost 3000 ratings saying how easy it was to replace.  That means there are probably 30,000 broken latch assemblies out there if not more because probably only one in ten actually bothered to comment or did it themselves. Maytag, Amana, Whirlpool you should be ashamed!!!
