if your dishwasher won't latch here are
the three most probable causes
the door latch assembly is likely
damaged obstructed or malfunctioning
you should inspect the latch for any
broken pieces or debris lodged in the
area the door strike is inserted into
for latch assemblies that contain a
micro switch an electronic failure could
be responsible for the door not latching
you can use a multimeter to test the
micro switch for continuity a continuous
electrical path present in the switch
if the micro switch tests negative for
continuity then the door latch is
defective and will need to be replaced
in some cases you can replace the micro
switch independently of the latch
the dishwasher doorknob latching could
also be caused by a broken door strike
a bent or visibly damaged door strike
can be replaced with a new one to solve
the problem
a damaged door hinge could also be
responsible for the door not latching
properly
inspect both hinges to determine if
either one is bent or damaged and
replace if required
