How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before working on the door latch. Sharp metal edges are present.
- Check door movement: Ensure the door closes fully and is not obstructed.
- Listen for latch motor: Start a self-clean cycle briefly (with power on) and listen for latch motor operation. If silent, suspect the latch motor or wiring.
- Inspect latch assembly: With power off, remove the top or rear panel to access the latch. Check for broken plastic parts or disconnected rods.
- Test switches: If equipped, test latch position switches for continuity when the latch is moved manually.
- Replace latch assembly: If the motor or switches are defective, replace the complete door latch assembly with the correct KitchenAid part.
