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.
