Possible Causes
Broken latch hook on basket, Worn latch receiver in housing, Misaligned drawer rails, Foreign object in latch area
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before inspecting the latch area.
- Visual inspection: Examine the basket front for cracked or missing latch hooks. Replace the basket if damaged.
- Check receiver: Look inside the housing where the latch engages. Remove any crumbs or debris blocking full engagement.
- Alignment: Ensure the drawer slides in straight and is not twisted. Bent rails or housing can prevent the latch from catching; gently realign or replace damaged parts.
- Switch engagement: Confirm that when the latch is engaged, the basket/door switch is fully actuated. Adjust the switch bracket if necessary.
