Dishwasher shows F5E2; door appears closed but unit still thinks it is open, or cycle stops intermittently when door is jostled.

Safety: Disconnect power before adjusting the latch.

• Tighten hardware: Check and tighten the screws securing the door latch and the tub strike.
• Inspect alignment: Close the door slowly and observe how the latch engages the strike. Adjust the strike position slightly up/down or in/out to ensure a firm engagement.
• Wiggle test: With the door closed and power on, gently press on the door. If the lights flicker or the cycle pauses, the latch or switch is likely worn.
• Replace latch assembly: Install a new door latch/switch assembly if intermittent contact continues.

Tip: Check that the dishwasher is level; an out-of-level cabinet can twist the door and affect latch engagement.
