Dishwasher Door Won't Latch or Won't Start? Door Latch WG04F06923 – Fix Door Lock Failures Fast
A failed door latch is one of the most common reasons a GE dishwasher won't start — even when everything else works perfectly. In most GE and Hotpoint dishwashers, the door latch assembly both physically secures the door and signals the control board that it's safe to run. When it fails, the dishwasher won't start, may stop mid-cycle, or the door won't stay closed during operation — sometimes causing leaks at the door seal. ⚡ Common failure point in GE-built dishwashers. Part WG04F06923 is the OEM replacement latch assembly that restores proper door closure and cycle start function immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Dishwasher has power — display and controls respond normally
- ✔ Water supply is confirmed OK — no water inlet issues
- ✔ Door physically won't click shut, or closes but dishwasher still won't start
- ✔ ONLY problem is the door latch — not a control board, door switch, or wiring fault

- Brands: GE, Hotpoint, GE Profile
Inspect the door gasket/seal while the door panel is accessible — a worn or cracked seal is often the root cause of door leaks and is inexpensive to replace at the same time. Also check the door strike on the tub for cracks or deformation that may prevent the new latch from seating correctly.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 15–30 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Remove the inner door panel by unscrewing the perimeter screws, then disconnect the latch wiring harness and remove the two mounting screws securing the old latch. Install the new latch, reconnect the harness, and reassemble the door panel. Restore power and test — the dishwasher should recognize the door as closed and allow a cycle to start.

💡 Pro Tip
The latch assembly contains a micro-switch that signals the control board. Before ordering, use a multimeter set to continuity mode — with the dishwasher unplugged, press the latch actuator manually and check for continuity across the switch terminals. No continuity when pressed confirms the switch (and latch assembly) has failed. If continuity is present, the issue may be in the wiring harness or control board instead.
