Exengprof for Model Number SHP65T55UC/07 Latch replace versus raising machine slightly. For the issue where the door latch springs into the closed position while door is open, some report adding some downward pressure to the door lock either by raising the machine slightly (causing countertop to push down on latch slightly) or adding a small wedge fixes the issue. Others report replacing the latch assembly (door side and body side). What is experience of this group? Does the latch have a wear issue over long-term use? Or is the latch functional, but a slight dishwasher frame deflection causes the latch to be in a locked position with the door open? Thanks.
Answer Exengprof, the door lock 10008141 will fail over time. In a case like this, it could be from the spring losing strength, the door hinges bending, a bend in the door frame where the latch is located, screws loose in the latch or lock, etc. Inspecting for these potential causes of the issue would be the best way to properly correct the failure.
