Dishwasher door not latching — Madrid, Madrid
When a dishwasher door won't latch, the machine won't start — most models have a door switch safety interlock that prevents operation with the door open. Common causes include a worn or broken door latch assembly, a misaligned strike plate, or a faulty door switch. An appliance repair technician can diagnose whether the issue is mechanical (latch/hinge) or electrical (door switch) and replace the failed part.
