T6.1 left hand kitchen door handle

Huh. My 6.1 too. Sort of. The sticky-out bit on the handle seems OK, but there was a sticky-out bit on the receiver too, and that's fallen off. A stupidly tiny thin bit of plastic.

Result is much the same - door refuses to stay shut. Has anyone else encountered this?

To add to the plethora of comments about this issue, my door catch broke too, and the dealer rather grumpily supplied a new catch but declined to replace the damaged static part, which during the extraction of the broken tang from the door catch which was jammed in the semi-circular orifice, lost the vertical section (underneath my aluminium repair strap) and which allows the barb to latch.

I effected this repair, which saved a lot of aggro in not having to try to get at the back side of the cupboard panel from inside the galley furniture:

I have an ocean T6 not 6.1 and the left latch of the kitchen broke but can't find the part number. Anyone can help by chance?
 
An unusually poor piece of design on the 6.1
Agree. It is not even worth replacing it because the same thing will happen again and again. No one tested it. Luckily the doors don't slide easily without the latch, so I just leave it broken.
