Dishwasher door fails to close or latch fully, springs back open, preventing any wash cycle from starting.
Dishwasher does not power on or start a cycle even when door appears closed — faulty latch switch fails to signal door is shut.
Wash cycle stops unexpectedly partway through because the latch loses contact with the door switch during operation.
Control panel displays a door lock or latch error code (e.g., F8, E3, or similar) due to a broken or intermittent latch assembly.
Steam or water escapes around the door seal because a worn latch no longer holds the door firmly against the tub gasket.
Excessive resistance, grinding, or clicking when operating the door caused by cracked plastic housing or failed internal spring.




💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Door Latch the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Dishwasher door will not close or latch fully — door springs back open
⚠️ Dishwasher stops mid-cycle or will not start at all after door is closed
⚠️ Water or steam leaking around the door due to improper seating
⚠️ Clicking or resistance felt when trying to open or close the door
🔍 Technician Tip: Before ordering, open the door and inspect the latch body at the top of the inner door panel. Look for cracked plastic housing, a broken or missing spring, or visible looseness in the assembly. If the latch body wiggles or the spring is visibly fatigued, replacement is confirmed. Also check the door latch strike (separate part PS16555320) — it is not included in this assembly.
