Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Door does not latch or close properly
• Dishwasher will not start
• Dishwasher stops during a cycle if the latch loses switch engagement
• Start or control lights may flash when the door is not sensed as closed

Check Before Replacing

• With the dishwasher disconnected from power, visually inspect the latch for cracking, deformation, or loose mounting and inspect the door strike for damage or misalignment.
• Close the door slowly and verify that the strike engages the latch fully without excessive force or side-to-side movement.
• If safe electrical testing is within the technician’s qualifications, test the integrated switch for continuity with the appliance disconnected from power; compare the result with the model’s technical documentation.
• If the dishwasher has service diagnostics, check for door-latch or door-closed status indications before replacing the assembly.
