5304525218 / 154543901 Dishwasher Door Latch Assembly

Key Features

  • Reinforced Structural Polymer: Manufactured from a specialized, high-density plastic designed to withstand the repetitive mechanical stress of daily latching and the high-humidity environment of the dishwasher door.
  • Integrated Dual Micro-Switch: Features a high-precision internal switch assembly that communicates the "door closed" signal to the control board, acting as a critical safety cut-off that prevents the unit from running while open.
  • High-Tension Spring Interface: Engineered with a heavy-duty internal spring mechanism that provides a firm, secure "click" upon closing, ensuring the door remains airtight and watertight throughout the wash and dry cycles.
  • Vibration-Resistant Terminal Blocks: Includes standardized electrical spade terminals designed to maintain a low-resistance connection, preventing common "no-start" issues caused by heat-related connector failure.

Compatibility & Fitment

This door latch is the standard replacement for most Frigidaire-manufactured dishwashers produced after 2010. Key compatible brands include:

  • Frigidaire / Frigidaire Gallery: Fits hundreds of FFBD, FGBD, FGID, and LFBD series models (e.g., FFBD2406NW, FGBD2434PF, FGID2466QF).
  • Electrolux: Compatible with various EDW and EID high-end series units utilizing the 154543901 style.
  • Kenmore (587 Series): Fits dozens of 587-prefix models produced by Frigidaire for Sears (e.g., 587.15112401, 587.15263900).
  • Tappan & Crosley: Direct fit for dozens of budget-friendly tall-tub models utilizing this specific latch housing.
  • Note: This latch is typically located at the Top-Center of the Inner Door Panel, behind the control console.

When to Replace

  • Dishwasher Won't Start: The power is on and the cycle is selected, but the unit will not start because the latch fails to engage the internal micro-switch and "signal" the door is closed.
  • Door Won't Stay Latched: The door pops open mid-cycle or refuses to "click" into place, often caused by a broken internal plastic catch or a snapped spring.
  • "Close Door" Error Message: The control panel displays a "PF" or "door" error even when the door appears to be shut.
  • Leaking from Top of Door: If the latch doesn't pull the door tight against the gasket, steam and water can escape from the top of the unit during the wash phase.
  • Mechanical Handle Failure: The handle feels "loose" or has no resistance when you pull it, indicating the latch assembly has snapped internally.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: You MUST unplug the dishwasher or turn off the circuit breaker. This repair involves working directly with 120V electrical connectors inside the door panel.
  • Access the Latch: Open the dishwasher door and remove the 6-10 screws holding the inner stainless steel panel to the outer console. Support the outer panel so it doesn't fall and pull the wires.
  • Swap the Wires: Before removing the old latch, note the position of the wire connectors. It is often helpful to take a quick photo with your phone to ensure the new switches are wired correctly.
  • Check the Door Strike: While the door is open, inspect the **154543701 Door Strike** (the metal loop on the tub frame). If the strike is bent or loose, the new latch will not engage properly.
  • Alignment Test: Before tightening all the door screws, close the door slowly to ensure the new latch is perfectly centered on the strike. A minor misalignment can cause the latch to snap prematurely.

Nice Filter Wrench for my Volvo V70XC!
Size: 86mm x 16
I was needing a filter wrench for my 2001 Volvo V70XC and couldn't find anything that fit from the local auto parts stores. Not knowing what to expect, I took a chance on this one since most of the reviews were 5 star and the price was exceptional. When I received it, I was quite pleased with the construction and finish. I have a brand new oil filter housing for my Volvo (since the one currently on my car is chewed up from the former owner using slip-jaw pliers or something on it) and the fit is perfect! I have worked as a mechanic my whole life (aircraft & automotive), and spent a couple of years as a technician at an automotive dealership and I can say that the tool looks like it is designed for heavy-duty use. The stamped steel housing is thicker than those found in local auto parts stores and the drive adapter has a thick arc welded bead along the inside of the tool. So, it appears to be made to hold up to some fairly heavy torque. Although the product description states that it is 1/2", the drive adapter is actually made for direct attachment to a 3/8" drive. Perhaps this error stems from the fact that they offer a much larger wrench (118-131mm) and this is a more accurate description of their other offerings. The 3/8" drive adapter works perfectly and a 21mm socket fits nicely on the external hex. Fits with SAE sizes are a mixed bag, though. I was able to attach a 13/16" 12-pt. box-end wrench, but not the opposing open-end. A similarly sized 13/16" 6-pt. socket was extremely tight, so I wouldn't recommend this size and would just go with the 21mm if you had to use the external hex. Otherwise, just use the 3/8" drive adapter for easiest use of this tool. The adapter also incorporates ball detents on all four sides of the internal 3/8" drive, so your ratchet or extension won't easily fall off while in use. Since this tool is made for oil filter removal & installation, I'm sure that it will deliver as promised. I'll post an update after my next oil change and I get a chance to use it and install the new filter housing I have.

The Perfect Tool - Life is Short So Just Buy It.
Size: 88mm x 15
So. Life is too short to struggle with little demons and other inconveniences. I change oil in all my cars, trucks, and SUVs. One of my cars is a V6 Hyundai and the filter cartridge is inside a housing that is sometimes more than a tad inconvenient to loosen and screw back in place. My regular filter removal tools including strap style as well as a three arm gripper type just did not perform very well. I saw this thing, ordered it, and man...it is perfect. The metal top allows a wrench ( spanner) or a socket wrench to be used. I have a fancy Snapon torque wrench which I can also use just to be fancy. In any case removing and re-securing the filter housing on the Hyundai V6 is now a breeze. The cap wrench itself is solid and very well constructed Five stars and count me in as impressed. Well done CTA Tools !!!
