Dishwasher

Door won’t latch

The door pops open, or the cycle will not start because it is not closed.

What this usually means

If the latch does not catch, the dishwasher will not start. The strike can be out of alignment, or the latch assembly itself is worn.

What we typically check

Latch and strike alignment
Door springs and balance
Latch switch that tells the control the door is shut
Warped door or worn bushings
