Whirlpool 74007429 Oven Door Lock Latch Assembly

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 74007429 is an OEM-style replacement door lock latch assembly designed for residential range ovens. This component secures the oven door during standard operation and through self-clean cycles, preventing accidental opening when interior temperatures are at elevated levels. When the latch assembly fails, the oven door may not seal correctly or the self-clean function may be disabled entirely. The 74007429 restores proper door locking function and is installed by appliance repair technicians and qualified service professionals performing routine component replacement.

This latch assembly is intended for use in residential range oven applications where the original door lock mechanism has worn, broken, or failed to engage. It is a direct-replacement part suited for restoring factory door-locking performance in gas and electric range oven configurations that use this latch design. Refer to your appliance model documentation to confirm fitment before installation.
