Tom O Westfield , NJ January 17, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher GLDT696T00SS Ge Dishwasher Gldt696t00ss: Ge dishwasher door would not latch closed and would not turn on. How to replace Left Switch Breakwater (Switch Retainer), 1 Piece. Bought the 5 components that comprise the latch and switches, installed them and it works fine now. The GE Model GLDT696TSS-00 was less than 4 years old so it was great that I could purchase the parts from a supplier that had very reasonable pricing and fast shipping, but not a very good testament to the quality of GE's products.
