Whirlpool dishwasher
Fault
The dishwasher door would not shut squarely or engage the latch.
- Assessment
- With rack and utensil obstructions ruled out, inspection found a worn hinge and loose latch preventing the door from seating.
- Work
- We replaced the worn hinge and faulty latch components, then adjusted the door alignment.
- Parts
- Door hinge and latch components.
Checks and outcome
The latch engaged reliably through repeated closure checks. A wash test started normally and the door perimeter stayed dry.
