Description
The Door Lock is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. As a basic safety component, it secures the dishwasher door firmly closed during active wash cycles. Trapping steam and heat within the tub area is crucial for sanitizing soils and delivering clean dishes.
Symptoms of a faulty door lock include:
- Inability to fully latch or lock the dishwasher door closed
- Accidental opening of the door during washing interruptions
- Possible leaks or loss of heat from unsealed door cracks
- Partial or incomplete cleaning cycles
Causes of a failed lock can be wear over extended use, or damage to the locking latch or striker plate. Warped or misaligned doors also put undue stress on the lock mechanism.
Replacing with this genuine Frigidaire part restores secure closure and safe operation. It is also compatible with some Kenmore, Gibson, and Admiral branded dishwasher models. Proper door locking is essential for optimal washing performance.
