DishwasherDIY First — Safe to Try YourselfFixLens verified

Safe first steps

  1. Check if the dishwasher door is fully closed.
  2. Inspect the door latch for any obstructions or damage.
  3. Ensure that nothing is blocking the door from closing properly.
  4. If the door is still not closing properly, try restarting the dishwasher after ensuring it is closed.
  5. If the door latch is damaged or the issue persists, arrange a service visit — do not use the appliance.

When to stop

  • Stop if the door latch is visibly damaged or if the door does not close securely — risk of flooding.

Likely cause

The door is not properly closed, causing the cycle to interrupt. Ensure the door is firmly closed and try restarting the appliance.
