What This Part Does

The door lock sits in the top of the dishwasher door. When you close the door, it catches and holds it shut, so the dishwasher can confirm the door is closed and the programme can start. With daily use the plastic catch and spring can wear or break, and the door may not latch or may pop open. A new door lock restores a secure close and normal operation.

Common Fault Symptoms

• The door will not latch shut or springs back open.
• The programme will not start, or stops mid-wash, because the door is not detected as closed.
• You have to push or hold the door hard before the dishwasher will run.
• The door is difficult to open, or the lock catch is visibly broken.

Known Compatible Brands & Models

Repair Difficulty

Moderate: the lock sits in the top of the door. On most models the door's outer panel or control panel has to be removed to reach it, then the lock is unscrewed and its wiring moved across to the new part. Allow about 30 minutes.

Typical Tools Required

• Torx or cross-head screwdriver (depending on model)
• Phone camera, to photograph the wiring before disconnecting it
