Dishwasher door will not latch properly; cycle will not start.

Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting the latch or hinges.

• 1. Inspect latch and strike: Open the door and examine the metal or plastic strike on the tub and the latch on the door. Look for wear or bending.
• 2. Tighten screws: Tighten the screws securing the latch and strike. Slightly adjust the strike position if needed so the latch engages firmly.
• 3. Check cabinet alignment: Ensure the dishwasher is square in the opening and not twisted by uneven flooring or tight side screws.
• 4. Replace worn parts: If the latch hook is worn or cracked, replace the door lock assembly.
• 5. Test: Close the door several times to confirm a positive click and that the machine now starts.
