Common Symptoms

  • Door latch failure
  • Door will not close securely
  • Dishwasher will not start because the door-latch system does not engage
  • Cracked or broken actuator tabs or body

Check Before Replacing

  • Disconnect electrical power before inspection.
  • Visually inspect the actuator through the control-panel/latch area for cracks, breakage, or damaged retaining tabs.
  • With power disconnected, check that the door handle operates the latch mechanism and that the door closes and latches without obstruction.
  • If the door latches normally but the dishwasher still will not start, investigate other latch, switch, wiring, or control-related causes rather than assuming the actuator is defective.

Pro Tip

A cracked actuator or broken retaining tabs can prevent the handle from properly releasing or engaging the latch; verify the actuator is seated in the latch assembly before replacing other door-latch components.
