Possible Causes
Worn or broken door latch, Misaligned door strike on cabinet, Warped door or tub frame, Loose mounting screws
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power before adjusting the latch assembly.
- 1. Inspect latch and strike: Check the metal or plastic strike on the cabinet and the latch on the door for damage or wear.
- 2. Adjust strike position: Loosen the screws holding the strike and adjust it slightly up/down or in/out so the latch engages firmly.
- 3. Tighten mounting screws: Ensure the dishwasher is firmly secured to the cabinet so it does not move when closing the door.
- 4. Replace latch assembly: If the latch does not hold or the switch inside is faulty, replace the Frigidaire door latch assembly.
A secure latch is essential for proper operation and to prevent leaks.
