Whirlpool WP8574157 Dishwasher Door Latch Strike
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP8574157 is an additional part for the dishwasher's door latch strike. This seemingly insignificant but essential part is essential to the safe and thorough closing of your dishwasher door. The dishwasher frame has a strike plate that functions in tandem with the door's latch mechanism. The latch secures the door shut during the washing cycle by hooking onto the strike plate when you close it. A damaged or broken strike plate can prevent the door from latching correctly, which can result in a number of problems. Wash water leaks can cause problems for cleaning efficiency and can cause damage to your kitchen floors. In addition, a misclosed dishwasher may not start at all or may stop in the middle of its cycle.
