What This Part Does

When you close the dishwasher door, the lock catches and holds it firmly shut. It also operates a switch that tells the dishwasher the door is closed, so the programme can start and keep running. With daily use the catch, spring or switch can wear or break, and the door may no longer latch or the dishwasher may not start. 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, because the door is not detected as closed.
• You have to push or hold the door hard before the dishwasher will run.
• The lock catch is visibly broken or no longer clicks.

Known Compatible Brands & Models

Repair Difficulty

Moderate: the lock sits in the top of the door. On most models the outer door panel or the 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

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