This small metal component attaches at the top of the dishwasher tub and locks the door latch securely in place whenever the door is closed. It does double duty: mechanically, it's what keeps the door held shut and properly tensioned against the tub opening to maintain a watertight seal during the wash cycle, and it also acts as the actuator that trips the door switch, telling the control that the door is closed and it's safe to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from durable metal, measuring approximately 2\" in length. Over years of opening and closing the door, the strike can wear down, bend from an accidental impact, or simply weaken to the point where it no longer holds the latch with enough tension. Debris buildup around the strike can also interfere with proper latching. A failing strike produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher won't start because the door switch never registers as closed, the door feels loose or doesn't seal tightly when shut, or water leaks out around the door during a cycle. It directly replaces WP8580309, AP6013574, 8269111, 1181203, AH1156352, EA1156352, PS1156352, and PS11746800.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eXPARTCO 8580309 Dishwasher Door Latch Strike\u003c\/strong\u003e fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, Inglis, and Crosley dishwashers that won't start because the door won't latch, feel loose when closed, or leak water around the door during a cycle.

Wear work gloves. Open the dishwasher door and locate the door latch strike mounted at the top of the tub opening, above where the door latch engages when closed. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screws securing the old strike in place, then lift it free. Position the new 8580309 strike in the same location, aligning it so the door latch will catch and engage correctly when the door is closed, and secure it with the mounting screws. Close the door and confirm the latch catches firmly and holds the door snugly against the tub with no give. Restore power and run a test cycle, checking around the door for any signs of leaking.
