Common Symptoms
- Dishwasher will not latch
- Dishwasher will not start
- Dishwasher controls may remain inactive when the door is closed
- Dishwasher may stop mid-cycle if the latch switch signal is intermittent
- Door may be difficult to open, close, or latch properly
Check Before Replacing
- With power disconnected, inspect the latch and surrounding door area for visible damage, obstruction, or misalignment.
- Confirm that the door closes fully and engages the latch without excessive force.
- If qualified and equipped for appliance electrical testing, check the latch microswitch for continuity with power disconnected; do not bypass the safety switch.
- Inspect the switch wiring and connectors for looseness, damage, or corrosion without applying force to the terminals.
Pro Tip
Before replacing the assembly, check door alignment and the latch strike area for obstructions; a misaligned door can prevent the switch from being fully actuated and mimic a failed latch.
