A latch for an appliance door has a support member adapted to be mounted within the appliance, and a latch assembly movable on the support member between latching and unlatching positions. The latch assembly includes a bracket member, a pivotal mounting between the bracket member and the support, an elongated operating handle affixed to the bracket member, a latch arm for locking a door having a slot about the pivotal mounting whereby the latch arm may have rotational and translational motion with respect to the pivotal mounting. A toggle arm is pivotally connected at one end thereof to the bracker member and at the other end thereof to the latch arm, and a spring is connected between one end of the toggle arm and the support member whereby, upon operation of the handle from an unlatched to a latched position, the latch arm is moved to a position to latch the door and the spring holds the assembly in a stable condition. An arcuate slot is defined in the support member beneath the bracket member, and a pin extending from the bracket member has a recess intermediate the ends thereof defining shoulders which closely overlie the edges of the member defining the arcuate slot whereby the pin prevents the bracket and handle thereon from rocking movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the pin.
