Possible Causes

Worn door latch, Misaligned door, Faulty reed or microswitch sensor, Loose latch wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect the power before working on the door.

  • Check door alignment: Ensure the dishwasher is level and not twisted within the cabinet, which can misalign the latch.
  • Inspect latch mechanism: Remove the inner door panel and examine the latch and switch. Look for wear, cracks, or loose screws.
  • Test switch: Use a multimeter to verify that the door switch changes state when the latch is engaged.
  • Replace latch/switch: If worn or faulty, install a new door latch / door switch assembly.
