How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before mechanical adjustments.
- Check closure: Ensure the door or drawer is fully closed and not obstructed by dishes, cutlery, or racks.
- Inspect latch: Examine the door latch or drawer latch for damage, wear, or misalignment. Adjust the strike plate if the door does not pull in firmly.
- Test switch: Gently press the latch area while starting a cycle. If the unit starts only when pressed, the latch or switch is failing.
Replace the door latch assembly or drawer latch switch if it does not reliably signal closed status.
