How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the inner door panel.

  • 1. Observe behavior: Gently press on the door during a cycle. If the machine resumes or pauses, the door switch is likely intermittent.
  • 2. Inspect latch and strike: Check for wear or bending. Adjust or replace as needed to ensure firm engagement.
  • 3. Check door switch wiring: Access the Haier door switch and verify the connector is tight and wires are not frayed.
  • 4. Replace door lock assembly: If the switch tests intermittent with a multimeter, replace the entire door lock assembly.
  • 5. Verify leveling: Re-level the dishwasher to prevent door twist that can affect switch engagement.

Warning: Do not bypass the door switch; it is a critical safety device.
