Dishwasher control panel is active but cycle will not initiate because the door latch switch fails to signal the control board that the door is safely closed.
The door does not click or lock into position, allowing the door to swing open or remain unsecured during operation.
Dishwasher unexpectedly pauses or cancels a running cycle because a worn latch switch intermittently loses contact, signaling an open-door condition.
Pressing Start/Pause has no effect even with power present, caused by the safety interlock switch inside the latch assembly failing to close the circuit.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Faulty Dishwasher Door Latch
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dishwasher won't start even though the door appears fully closed
⚠️ Dishwasher stops mid-cycle as if the door opened unexpectedly
⚠️ Door feels loose or doesn't click/lock into position securely
⚠️ Control panel lights up but cycle will not initiate
🔍 Technician Tip: Use a multimeter set to continuity mode to test the door latch switch terminals. With the latch engaged, you should get continuity across the switch contacts. No continuity = failed latch switch — replace this assembly.
