Does it work great - heck yes! Should I have to replace it ? Only if I can't find this part:
Control Panel diagram ID #18 - End Panel (right)
KA part # = 9740025
Lists as "NLA" wherever I go and with the KA 800# referral.
The threaded insert has pulled loose, so now the control panel is flexing which means the cycle selector buttons will half or partially engage or not always release/reset properly - confusing my wife. The end results are confusing for even the most casual observer
Used part would be great if you have one in the yard. And would make my life so much simpler
If not I have a workaround using a piece of sheet metal strap and some pop rivets. I could also get creative with epoxy rebuild on this piece.
This DW is working great - it would be a sin to have to trash it just because of this part.
Right now fiber tape is making it usable.
