Description

The Door Latch is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. This component not only secures the dishwasher door during operation but also contains the door switch that detects if the door is shut. This dual function ensures the door is both securely locked to prevent water leaks and communicates to the appliance that it's safe to begin operation.

Symptoms of a bad door latch include:

• The dishwasher door not closing or locking securely
• The appliance not starting, attributed to the door switch not detecting a closed door
• Water leaks resulting from an unsecured door
• Visible wear or damage to the latch or switch

Common causes for a malfunctioning door latch can be wear and tear from regular use, mechanical failures that impact the latch’s ability to hold the door closed, or issues with the door switch not accurately detecting the door’s position.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
