Door Stuck Open — Door latch or switch issue

What does Door Stuck Open mean?

The dishwasher control detects that the door switch is stuck open, preventing the cycle from starting. This can be caused by the door not latching properly, a faulty switch, or loose wiring.

• Door not latched within 4 seconds of pressing Start/Resume
• Loose connection in the door switch circuit
• Door switch contacts stuck open
• Sloppy door latch assembly
• Faulty door switch (high resistance)

1. 1

   Ensure the door is properly latched. Check for interference from dish racks.

2. 2

   Inspect the strike plate and door closure force. Adjust the strike plate if necessary for better engagement.

3. 3

   Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.

4. 4

   Check resistances of the door switch contacts and all connections in the door switch circuit while opening and closing the door.

5. 5

   If resistance is high when the door is closed, check or fix loose connections. Replace the latch assembly if it is broken.

6. 6

   If no voltage (13 VDC across P9-5 and P9-6) is present with the door open, replace the control board.
