Frigidaire FG vd2 438 P Beach dishwasher
and I'm sure there other models that are
similar I broke the latch on this one
and this is when we just pull straight
out on the door you don't have to lift
lift up on the latch or anything like
that and one day I wanted to check and
see why water didn't seem to be getting
to the top rap so I wanted to rent out
the door open stuff in my haste I just
in order to defeat the lot of the latch
mechanism I just stuck a screwdriver and
did this and it made that horrible noise
and cement on it would never latch so I
ordered a new part and installed it I
realized it wasn't actually broken and
here's what's going on first of all in
order to remove the door you'll need a
little well it's kind of hard to see but
it's got six points it's very small it
fits into the screws here there's two on
one side to across the top and two on
the other side and then you also need to
remove a regular screw Phillips
screwdriver from way down there the door
comes out like so if you ever didn't
need to replace it you could pull the
top part of the dishwasher just
separates from the rest of it right
there but you can do without time to
actually remove at these two also uses
six-point screws to remove the hole
laughs if you need and all you need to
do to fix it you should just press you
can see that just press straight in on
that and then there's a little black
piece underneath you just need to push
up alright just one hand but there you
go and that's all there is to it
now it will latch fine just close it
back up make sure this is unplugged by
the way whenever you do any of that and
it should let just fine you can hear how
touched and unlatch like a church so I
wasted 23 dollars
