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.
