Function of the Latch Strike

The door latch strike is the metal post that the latch hooks onto when you close your dishwasher door. This action engages safety interlocks and signals the control board to begin the wash cycle. Without a working latch strike, the dishwasher won’t recognize that the door is closed, preventing operation.

Common Signs the Latch Strike Needs Replacing

• Dishwasher won’t start even when the door is closed

• Door won’t latch or feels loose

• Intermittent cycle starts/stops

• Leaking around the door area

• Audible click is missing when closing the door
