Dishwasher Door Won't Latch in Calgary

A dishwasher door that will not latch may be obstructed or misaligned, or have a latch problem. Forcing it can damage the door or hardware.

What details help identify the problem?

Tell us whether the door closes evenly and whether the problem began after loading, moving or servicing the dishwasher.

What can I check safely?

With the machine off, check for dishes or racks blocking the door. Do not bypass the door switch or force the latch.

What we confirm before the repair

We check the fit, alignment and latch operation before ordering parts. A door that closes poorly does not always need a new latch.

Is the rack preventing the door from closing?

With the appliance stopped, note whether a dish or rack is visibly obstructing closure or whether the catch appears damaged. Mention if the unit was recently installed or moved. Do not force the latch or defeat the door switch to start a cycle.

How do I request a diagnosis?

Send the full model number, the symptom and any displayed code when you request a visit. The $49 service call is applied toward the repair; confirm the full quote before authorizing work. See the repair cost guide for questions to ask.
