How to Fix a Dishwasher Door Latch

It can be really frustrating whenever there is a broken door latch on your dishwasher. Seeking the services of an expert means digging deep into your pocket for money that was not budgeted for.

Dishwasher Repair

Anytime the door latch is not functioning properly, the first thing to check is the door latch. It is usually attached to the dishwasher tub and is adjustable. If not connected properly it will be the force behind door problems which in turn will cause the dishwasher not to work properly. Another problem could be that the door is worn out and is not closing tightly enough to prevent leakage. When there is continuity of electricity to the door switches this will also hinder the door’s functionality. If all this is happening it means the door latch needs to be replaced.

The good news is that there are thousands of models of dishwasher parts. Sometimes, getting a model number can be a hassle. Below are some guidelines to help you locate the dishwasher’s model number.

  • Check on the top of the door jamb, to the left, right, or in the center
  • It can be found on the underside of the control panel
  • You may also get it on the door itself, on the left, right, or in the center
  • For portable dishwashers, check either on the back of the unit, or on the side of the hose storage
  • Also look on the upper left hand corner of the unit’s frame

We have identified and possibly exhausted all the possible causes that could cause a dishwasher door latch not to function properly. It is not only the door latch, but there are also other parts that could be faulty. At any given time fixing a dishwasher proves to be difficult with all the information provided above, type the model problem of the particular part affected in the search box. It will assist you as you will be able to find any repair help that is effective. Searching with your model number also plays a big role in giving you access to all schematics and parts.
