The Latch Assembly is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. This part secures the dishwasher door during operation, ensuring that the door remains tightly closed to prevent water leaks and to allow the dishwasher to operate correctly.
Common causes of a bad latch assembly include wear and tear from regular use, damage from forceful closing or impacts, and issues with the internal mechanism or switches.
Symptoms of a bad Latch Assembly include:
- The dishwasher door not closing or latching properly
- The dishwasher not starting or pausing mid-cycle due to the door not being securely latched
- Water leaking from the door during operation
- The door popping open during a cycle
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
