The door latch is very lost. It almost drops out. I can work it back in panel and it works but will not stay tight. I think I need Latch assembly - Color: Black**Please note** The manufacturer has now included the latch, handle and switches together
Part Number: AP4264081 made by WHIRLPOOL. Does this come with good instruction to replace old one?

I do not know if it does but the following should help.

Also here is the tech sheet which may be useful in the future

If you have not already done it, I would open up the door just to be sure that it is a latch mechanism problem.

HI,
Thanks for your help. I got the assembly in and it is good. However I'm having trouble disconnecting the wires from the door switches. I do not seem to be able to just pull them apart. Are there something I need to do to make them come out easy?
Thanks
Rogerr

I usually take a screw driver, put it between the switch and the connector and then twist the screw driver so it pushes the connector off the switch. Sometimes you have to work one side a little then the other side.

Hope the above makes sense!!

Yes this makes sense. I was afraid of breaking the connecton. With those little holes in the prongs I was not sure if I needed to squeeze them together or something to release the prongs.
Thanks
Roger
