✅ Cross Reference Information
Common Symptoms
- Door requires excessive force or slamming to latch
- Door falls or pops open instead of remaining closed
- Dishwasher will not start because the door-switch signal is not engaged
- Visible latch wear, cracking, looseness, or misalignment
- Possible leakage at the door area when the door does not seal correctly
Check Before Replacing
- With power disconnected, inspect the latch assembly for visible cracking, looseness, deformation, or excessive wear.
- Inspect the mating door strike for bending, damage, or misalignment before condemning the latch.
- Check that racks, silverware, food residue, or other objects are not obstructing the door seal or latch area.
- Close the door normally and observe whether the latch engages consistently without slamming; do not force the door if alignment is abnormal.
- If the latch appears intact but the dishwasher will not start, have the door-switch circuit tested according to the appliance-specific service documentation; do not assume the latch is defective.
