Customer Questions and Answers for Door Latch by Bosch

The Door Latch is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part securely closes the dishwasher door, ensuring that it locks in place during operation. The latch mechanism works by engaging with the door strike, preventing the door from opening while the dishwasher runs, which is essential for both the safety and proper functioning of the appliance.  

Causes for replacement often include normal wear and tear from regular use, accidental damage, or a malfunction that prevents the door from securely latching.  

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

• The dishwasher door doesn't stay shut or locks intermittently.
• The dishwasher fails to start due to the door not being recognized as properly closed.
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the latch mechanism.

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
