Just got done replacing latch. Thank you so much for your video. Followed your instructions step to step and dishwasher is working !!!! Thanks again
Just the visual I needed to know how to make the repair. Thanks Tony!
THANK YOU!! couldnt get door open with dishes inside. had to open drawer next to dishwasher and then was able to pull really hard from sides. and it OPENED!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH..
helps that this was my exact brand and model, but I assume this type of repair is more or less universal. very helpful. thanks!
Got the part today and my dishwasher is working. Thanks Tool Dude Tony!
Thank you for this video! I haven't tried it yet but I'm confident I will be able to solve the problem. Whew! No expensive repair bill.
Thanks the how to order the part was the help I needed. In 3 to 5 days hopefully I will have a working dishwasher again.
I think I can fix it myself! That looks really easy.....thank you
Perfect, just as easy as you said. Saved a bundle.
Cool video man! Fixed my Maytag in minutes! Thank you much!
Thanks so much for sharing this video. I'm a do it your selfer and will try to save money any way I can!! I can't wait to try this!!!
Thanks! As a 29 year old, it's embarrassing how few things I can repair. Dad didn't teach me, and public education didn't bother either.
Thanks Tony-------It looks like you just saved me 100 clams ------------Tony G
Tony, I agree this is a simple fix, however can you offer any thoughts on how to get the door open if the latch is broken in the closed postion? ours is a GE
Thanks! and a great ad for Bass Ale!
You mention how it "SHOULD" open, grabbing it Left and Right, giving a firm pull. However, you DON'T mention what to do if the lock is LOCKED, and I Mean Fully, Latched. I could sooner and far more easily tear the countertop away from its screws before I could EVER get this door opened by "Firmly" pulling from both, upper, corners.Maybe a few more options, for those of us who are completely latch locked and a little less Beer (Celebrating) until ALL of the door lock issues are resolved??
great video my dishwasher door operation is very light . the door almost fails to hold closed .the Dishwasher is an ORIMA and cost 300 euros in Portugal where we live.
I have the exact same dishwasher as in this video...do you know the model number? I'm at work and I could order the part now!Thanks
Thank you! This was very helpful.
Hey that was so fast .I bet that beer didnt even get warm.
Upon opening my dishwasher door the latch looks nothing like that. I don't understand, I ordered it exactly like you said on Part select.
how do you get the part number off the inside if the latch is broken and you can't open the door?
Did you get an answer on this, Bonnie? I can't grab my door and pull open like he did in this video. Can you help?
Thank you.
Thanks Tony - MT in CT
thnx for this video...I have a GE Dishwasher "SpaceSafer" GSM1800JWW...i did one wash and door wont open. When I research to see y, some suggested that i redo my wash might help to reset the timer. This washer does not have child lock so is not that.Do you think it could be a timer issues?? The washer sound normal with both wash, drain and dry...I waited a few hour to open it and it was still jam lock. The latch click but wont let go. Please advice what you think and i can do since i cannot afford any service call or replacing a new one. I just want the door to open up and get my dishes out. thnx in advance!!
I have to pull it really hard to open door..got replacement part from partsselect.com....now the washing is like new!!..thnx for this video!!
