How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the door assembly.
- Check door closure: Ensure no dishes or cutlery are protruding and preventing the door from closing fully. Press firmly in the center of the door and try to start again.
- Inspect latch: Open the door and visually inspect the latch hook on the cabinet and the catch in the door. Look for cracks, deformation, or looseness.
- Tighten screws: If the latch assembly is loose, tighten the mounting screws carefully.
- Door alignment: Check that the dishwasher is level and not twisted in the cabinet. Adjust the front feet so the door lines up evenly with adjacent units.
- Advanced: If E06 persists, the door lock assembly or its microswitch is likely faulty and should be replaced. This requires removing the inner door panel; if unsure, contact a technician.
