Possible Causes
Door not fully latched, Misaligned door latch strike, Faulty door switch, Warped door or tub frame
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before removing door panels.
- Ensure proper closure: Close the door firmly until you hear it latch. Remove any items preventing full closure, such as protruding racks or utensils.
- Check alignment: Inspect the door alignment with the cabinet. Adjust leveling legs so the dishwasher is square and the door closes evenly.
- Inspect latch and strike: Check for visible damage or bending. Adjust the strike position if possible so it engages the latch fully.
- Access door switch: Remove inner door panel to inspect the latch/switch assembly. Replace the door latch assembly if the switch is faulty or the latch is worn.
