9. Door Latch
The door latch is essential to the operation of the dishwasher. Latching the door closes a switch allowing electrical
current to flow to the timer. The timer controls all other components.
If the door latch switch is open, the dishwasher will not operate. The latch switch cannot be activated while the door
is open. This safety mechanism prevents the dishwasher from being operated when the door is open. However, if the
door latch switch contacts become stuck in the closed position, the dishwasher will not stop when door is opened during
the cycle.
