Close It for Model Number FGBD243KBO The door will no longer close. I'm not exactly sure how this latch works, any explanations? It almost seems like the metal stub sticking out from the hub may be bent to far down? Is the latch purely mechanical? I'm also needing to replace the push buttons - but I don't want to do that until I can get it to latch but, wondering if they might be related.
Answer Hello. The latch is mechanical and does catch on the strike on the unit. If the latch assembly 5304525218 is bad and is not connecting on the strike, it will prevent the unit from running. If the strike is broke, it will prevent the unit from latching. Also, if the dishwasher is un-level, it will prevent the unit from latching shut. Read More...
