The culprit could be a damaged or faulty door strike. This small plastic part attaches near the door opening and connects with the door latch mechanism to securely fasten the door during operation. When the strike becomes cracked or worn out, you'll need to replace it to restore normal dishwasher functionality.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Watch here: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2WQSdlnAUUY\"><b>How to replace door strike<\/b><\/a>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The information in this article may not apply to your specific appliance model.

Keep children and pets away from the work area.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never work on internal parts with wet hands. Make sure the work area is completely dry.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions related to your appliance or replacement part.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause personal injury.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts and debris.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals.
