Dishwasher door will not latch closed

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the latch.

• Check for obstructions: Ensure no dishes or cutlery are protruding and preventing the door from closing.
• Inspect strike: Examine the metal or plastic strike on the tub. If bent, gently realign it. Loosen mounting screws to adjust its position if necessary.
• Test latch: With the door open, operate the latch with a screwdriver to ensure it moves freely. If it sticks or feels loose, replace the door lock assembly.
• Verify cabinet alignment: Ensure the dishwasher is not twisted in the opening. Re-level and re-secure to the cabinet if needed.
