T.J. B. for Model Number MDB9750AWW When using the dishwasher,we set it for heavy wash and everything works fine. But when I check on the progress later. I find the washer is stopped in mid operation, the lights are flashing. The door is not open enough to allow water to leak out but you can pull it open without using the latch handle. When I close the door, the cycle continues and it usually will finish. Sometimes it will stop again further into the cycle. When I close the door it will usually finish after this. I have checked the latch catch (appears to be unbroken but it is a little loose). I replaced the door handle last year and everything worked fine. Is it normal after closing the door for it to be able to be opened by just pulling on the door and not the handle? Do I need a new handle or a latch catch or is something else going on?
Answer Hello T.J. Check and see if the latch is locking onto the strike. If not, it sounds like the latch assembly W10862259 will need to be replaced if the strike is not broken. You should not be able to open the door just by pulling on it. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, June 6, 2012
