Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the dishwasher before adjusting mechanical parts.

Inspect latch and strike:

  • Check the metal or plastic strike on the tub for bending or looseness; tighten screws if needed.
  • Inspect the door latch mechanism for wear or broken plastic.

Adjust alignment:

  • Loosen the strike screws slightly and adjust its position so the latch engages firmly when the door is closed.
  • Retighten and test door closure several times.

If the latch is worn or cracked, replace the door lock assembly with the correct Indesit part.
