Common Symptoms

• Door does not stay closed
• Dishwasher will not start because the door-latch signal is not detected
• Controls may appear unresponsive when the door is not correctly latched
• Door-latch mechanism feels loose, broken, or worn

Check Before Replacing

• With electrical power disconnected, inspect the latch body and the mating door strike for visible cracks, deformation, or excessive wear.
• Close the door slowly and verify that the latch engages the strike without forcing or lifting the door.
• Check whether the door remains securely closed when gently pulled, without operating the dishwasher.
• If electrical testing is appropriate for the specific model, test the latch switch for continuity only with the dishwasher unplugged or the circuit breaker off; use the model-specific technical documentation for terminal identification and expected results.
