Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dishwasher will not start because the door-closed signal is not detected
• Door does not stay closed during operation
• Door-latch failure
• Possible leaking if the door cannot seal because it is not latched

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the latch.
• Check the latch opening and door strike area for visible obstruction, damage, or misalignment.
• With power disconnected, operate the latch by hand and check for broken, loose, or sticking parts.
• If electrical testing is appropriate for the specific dishwasher model, test the latch switch only with power disconnected and compare the result with the model’s technical documentation; do not assume the latch is the sole cause of a no-start condition.
