58714432201 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Before starting I disconnected the dishwasher. First I removed the door cover which then exposed the interior part of the door. I then used a star bit on the screwdriver to remove old latch. I disconnected the four wires to the door making sure that I made a point of which wire was connected to what. I then inserted the new latch and reconnected the wiring. Finally, put on the door panel and screwed in the remaining screws. About 15 minutes total work time.

I replaced this latch,but noticed that the electric terminal configuration was not identical to the old original part. There were no installation instructions furnished for installing this new part, so I had to guess that the wire terminals attached to the new part in a similar position as detached from the old part. So far the renter has not called that the dishwasher is not operating correctly.

Watched installation video and followed directions. All went smoothly.

Take front off about 12 screws two screws held latch on took four wires off two white two black very simple to replace.

1.Turn off electricity. 2. Remove two Phillips screws on either side of front panel 3. Remove front panel 4. Remove 6 screws from the old dispenser 5. Pull both wires connectors from dispenser 6. Remove dispenser 7. Install the new dispenser and reverse the steps

Just pushed it onto the rod that held the old one

I replaced the old cap with the one I ordered from this site

First I removed the control panel and then removed the screw holding the handle. I then pulled the connector wires off and onto the new handle. I then screwed the new panel into place. Easy job, no mess.

removed screws holding door panel, turned off electricity,removed old part and installed new dispenser, the dishwasher is back in business. Be sure to use the proper screws when putting back the door panel.The instructions for installation were in the new part assembly.

Thank You for all your help

Removed the front cover by unscrewing the 8 screws. Removed the latch and attached new one. Re-attached front cover, and it works fine.
The gasket was in fine shape, and I question why I had to purchase the gasket in order to get the latch. Seems crazy and an unecessary expense on my part.

Screwed in

Followed the YouTube video. Replacement fit perfectly , only took 10 minutes to replace.

Removed the screws on the inside of the door gaining access to the handle assembly. Lifted broken assembly out, inserted and secured the new handle assembly according to the directions.

The part was ordered and received the next day. The entire process was extremely easy. A repair person would have charged twice the amount of the part plus labor just to come out!!

I unsrewed the old part and screwed the new one in the same way the old one was in.
piece of cake. anyone could do it!

Removed the screws that hold the panel on ( just the top ones-no need to go all the way down the sides. Need a "star" headed screwdriver to remove the switch itself. Then removed the wires (4),one be one, so as not to mix them up. reinstalled all thescres for the switch, then the panel. Job done.
What amazes me is that Frigidaire doesn't read your page to realize that the handle assembly was defective and send out a recall. look at all the repars listed in your site , and these re just from the people that have responded with comments and who use your service. New handle/switch is much more sturdy with a higher density plastic that the original. Your service is easy to use, prompt and accurate. Fixed the dishwasher while my wife went to the store. Dishwasher done in 15 minutes and watched theNCCA tournament for 2hours in complete peace !!!!! No need to tell the wife only spent 15 minutes.
