How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before removing the door panel.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the Becken dishwasher is level and not twisted in the cabinet. The door should close smoothly and latch firmly.
  • Inspect latch and strike: Examine the metal or plastic strike on the cabinet and the latch on the door for damage or misalignment. Adjust the strike position if necessary.
  • Access door lock: Remove the inner door panel screws to expose the door lock assembly. Check for broken plastic parts or loose screws.
  • Test switch (advanced): With the appliance unplugged, use a multimeter to test continuity of the door switch when the latch is engaged. Replace the lock assembly if the switch does not operate correctly.
  • Check wiring: Inspect the harness running through the door for pinched or broken wires, especially near the hinge area.

A faulty door lock prevents safe operation; replace with the correct Becken door lock assembly.
