Dishwasher shows F5E1; door will not latch or cycle will not start; display may indicate door open even when closed.

Safety First: Turn off power before adjusting or replacing the latch.

• Check door closure: Ensure the dishwasher is level and not pushed too far back, which can prevent the door from closing fully.
• Inspect latch strike: The metal strike on the cabinet should align with the latch on the door. Adjust the strike position slightly if needed.
• Test latch operation: Open and close the door while listening for a solid click. If the latch feels loose or does not engage, it may be broken.
• Access latch: Remove inner door screws and separate the panel to access the latch assembly. Inspect for cracks or broken springs.
• Replace latch/switch: If damaged or if the switch does not show continuity when closed (tested with a multimeter), replace the door latch assembly.
