WP8269117 Whirlpool Dishwasher Door Latch Handle

The Whirlpool dishwasher door latch handle is a genuine replacement part designed to secure and open the dishwasher door effectively. This component works by interacting with the door latch assembly to ensure the door remains locked while the dishwasher operates, and it facilitates easy loading and unloading of dishes.

This replacement handle is compatible with several brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

Currently, this handle is available in black, as the manufacturer has discontinued production in white and bisque.

Common issues that this part addresses include:
- A loose or unstable handle
- The door failing to latch or stay closed during use
- Visible damage or breakage on the handle
- Challenges in engaging or disengaging the door latch mechanism

This handle ensures the dishwasher operates safely and efficiently, maintaining the necessary closure during cycles.
