I am looking to replace a part on my dishwasher. It's called the cover latch in the manual. I can't seem to find the part number listed anywhere.

I was finally able to happen upon the whirlpoolparts.com website and entered what I thought was the correct name of "cover latch". It ended up being the whole assembly called "Whirlpool Dishwasher Detergent Dispenser WPW10195175".
This part is a shaft seal (the links below), you might want to get the push-on nut also (GE part number AP2059046), as you may have to cut it off to install the seal.
searspartsdirect.com, Part number: WD08X0181, Substitution: WD8X181. (Part may differ in appearance but is a functional equivalent)
I agree with @BrownRedHawk: find the manual online and then look for the exploded parts view. You'll find a part number and use that to search. I actually find most common parts like wheels and stuff on Amazon but for this part you're looking for you may have to look harder. I have had a lot of success with http://www.searspartsdirect.com/
