Whirlpool is recalling the door latch wiring in their dishwashers with model numbers beginning with DU8, DP8, DU9, and GPD. An example model number affected by this recall would be DU8700XY-1. The problem is the wire harness in the door latch can overheat and possibly cause a fire. Whirlpool has issued a repair kit, part number 4387485, to correct this. The kit includes four wire harness connections in the door latch area, two door switches, a door latch bolt, a door latch lever, and instructions.
