How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before removing the inner door panel.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and is not obstructed by racks or dishes.
  • Inspect latch strike: Verify the metal strike on the tub is not bent. Adjust slightly if needed so the latch engages fully.
  • Test door switch: Remove inner door panel, locate the latch/switch assembly, and test continuity when the latch is closed. Replace the latch assembly if the switch is faulty.
  • Secure wiring: Ensure all connectors to the latch are tight and not corroded.
