Manufacturer Part Number: 00438026

The Door Latch is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This part securely closes the dishwasher door, ensuring that it locks in place during operation. The latch mechanism works by engaging with the door strike, preventing the door from opening while the dishwasher runs, which is essential for both the safety and proper functioning of the appliance.  

Causes for replacement often include normal wear and tear from regular use, accidental damage, or a malfunction that prevents the door from securely latching.  

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

  • The dishwasher door doesn't stay shut or locks intermittently.
  • The dishwasher fails to start due to the door not being recognized as properly closed.
  • Visible signs of damage or wear on the latch mechanism.

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Bosch Door Latch (Part Number: OEM11349351)

Charles for Model Number SHE43F16UC/61

The door has become hard to open. The dishwasher works fine. Suspect the Ball Bearing Door Latch mechanism. I pulled the door latch (#103 on the diagram). Close inspection seems to indicate a missing spring on the actual latch; there is a peg on the rotating latch that drops into a recessed trough -- looks like there should be a return spring there. But your pictures are not from an angle to see this, so I hesitate to order the part. I want to be confident I have identified the problem... Is there such a spring? THANKS.

Charles, the latch 00438026 is going to operate by a tension spring causing the locking mechanism to remain in place, as well as push the switch activation arm) when the latch passes across and pushes the activation arm of the lock. The tension spring (located just underneath the locking mechanism in a perpendicular state to the locking mechanism) could be causing the locking mechanism to be difficult for the door to release. Usually, when a door latch like this is difficult to open, it is going to be caused by the latch seizing up rather than the strike being an issue.

A.M., you may want to check to ensure that the locking tab in the latch is not in the engaged position. From there, you may want to inspect the strike to ensure that it is not bent or damaged. If those check good, then you may want to inspect the door gasket for any excessively raised sections or debris that may prevent the door from closing properly.

Joe, With the pump running all the time you will want to check the base of the unit for leaks as it sounds likely that the flood switch is tripped thinking it is leaking.

Jacqueline, Unfortunately there is not a video for replacing the door latch but if you remove the screws from the inner door panel you should be able to get to the latch assembly which can be replaced.
