Great part and Easy repair - dishwasher back working again
The parts arrived quickly and in good condition. With a little help from Youtube, we had the part in and the diswasher working again. I wish that I had done this sooner! No need to be afraid of doing it myself.

Part seemed to work great
The issue was the dishwasher stopping mid cycle, as if someone pulled it open. Replacing this part, it completes the cycle every time

Arrived quickly, simple to install!
I don’t usually leave reviews but I had already tried to purchase this part elsewhere and found it was incorrectly labelled, so I was a little wary of ordering it again. Luckily this was exactly what we needed, and it arrived within two days!

Appliance read out "err", would not go on
It would sometimes work, which led me to believe it was a switch. Looked on line and found the mail switch to go on was in the latch. I took it apart, 6 screws, wiggled the switch and it went on. So I found the door switch to be bad. It was very simple to change the switch.

.Latch broke
Latch broke. and it wouldn't run without locking. As a trucker's wife it's up to me to fix whatever breaks or do without. I took apart the door, noticed the model number, and ordered the part. it was easy., it was harder to go thru Thanksgiving and wash dishes by hand.

Door would not latch
Removed 6 torx headed screw (loosens the internal control panel) and 2 philips headed screws(allows for front door panel removal). 2 torx screws had to be removed from existing latch along with 2 plugs loosened, be aware of how the plugs were connected to the latch. Do the reverse; attach plugs to new latch and reattach latch with the 2 torx headed screws. The 6 torx screws reattach the control panel and the 2 philips screws reattach the front door panel (be sure the front door panel is properly aligned prior to installation of the philips screws).

Water did not drain. Found the door latch broken
Unplug dishwasher. Open the door. Remove two Phillips head screws holding the door panel on. Slide door panel down and out to remove. With door still open, remove the six T20 torque screws that hold the control panel. Behind the control is the latch assembly. Take a picture of the wires going into the latch assembly for installation reference(mine was black wires on left and white wires on right). Unplug the two sets of wires. Remove two T20 torque screws that hold the latch. Replace with new latch and reverse steps for installation.

My dishwasher will not light up or start after it is closed
For model number LFID2426TF5A
Hi Roger, thank you for your inquiry. First, you need to check the door latch, part number PS16218716, because the door latch makes sure that the door is securely shut. When it malfunctions, your dishwasher won’t work properly. If it is fine, then you may need to check the dishwasher user interface control button assembly, part number PS12585991. We hope this sorts out your problem!
Hi Brenda, thank you for reaching out. The Er code means that the touch control panel is shorting out on the dishwasher. We would suggest checking the wire harness first. If it is fine, the issue could be with the user control and display board, part number PS12585690. You may need to replace it to fix the issue. We hope this solves your problem!

What is the part number and is it available, for the door to allow it to operate?
I am having problems locating it.
For model number FMB330RGC0
Hello Terry, thank you for getting in touch. You will need to check the door latch, part number PS17219598, and the door hinge, part number PS1765448. If they are broken, loose or damaged, replace them to fix the issue. We hope this helps.
Hello Billie, thank you for reaching out. The error code CD means that the dishwasher does not think the door is shut. If you have opened and closed the door firmly and you still get the error, your door latch assembly, part number PS16218716, needs to be replaced. There are switches built into the latch and they are not sending a good signal to the main control board to tell it that the door is shut, so even if the door is closing properly, the dishwasher will not run. We hope this information helps!
