Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before removing the door panel.

  • Check door closure: Ensure the door closes firmly and is not obstructed by dishes or racks.
  • Inspect latch strike: Look at the metal or plastic strike on the cabinet frame. It should align correctly with the latch on the door. Adjust if bent.
  • Listen for click: When closing the door, you should hear a distinct click from the latch. No click may indicate a broken mechanism.
  • Access latch assembly: Remove the inner door panel screws to expose the latch and switch assembly. Check for broken plastic parts or loose connectors.
  • Replace if faulty: Install a new door lock/latch assembly compatible with your Mora dishwasher if the switch does not operate correctly.
