Dishwasher Door Locks and Microswitches

A reliable dishwasher door lock and microswitch is crucial for keeping your appliance running safely and efficiently. The door lock ensures that your dishwasher door is sealed shut during operation, while the microswitch communicates to the control board that the door is properly closed. If either part fails, your dishwasher may not start, may stop mid-cycle, or could display error codes. In some cases, you might also notice water leaking from the door or hear unusual clicking sounds when trying to start a wash cycle.

Common signs that you may need to replace your dishwasher door lock or microswitch include:

- The dishwasher not starting even when the door appears closed.

- Error codes relating to the door or latch system.

- Water leaks around the door.

- The door not staying securely shut during a cycle.

- Inconsistent or intermittent operation when starting a program.
