Latch mechanism is worn or broken, causing the door to pop open during or between wash cycles.
Faulty door switch inside the latch assembly fails to signal the control board that the door is securely closed, preventing the cycle from initiating.
A compromised latch cannot maintain proper door seal pressure, allowing water to escape during wash and rinse cycles.
Damaged latch mechanism causes the door to stick or require excessive force to open once the cycle has completed.





💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Failed Dishwasher Door Latch
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dishwasher door will not stay shut or pops open during a cycle
⚠️ Dishwasher will not start even when the door appears closed
⚠️ Water leaking from the door area during wash or rinse cycles
⚠️ Error code or fault indicator related to door latch mechanism on the control panel
🔍 Diagnosis Tip: Open the door and manually press the latch mechanism — you should feel a firm click and hear the switch engage. If the action feels loose, broken, or you hear no click, the latch assembly has failed and should be replaced. Also check the door strike plate for damage before ordering.
