Door Latch Assembly
The primary mechanical failure occurs when the internal spring-loaded catch rotates into the locked position while the door is open. This prevents the door strike from seating properly. Replacing the assembly ensures that the internal over-center spring and microswitch return to the correct resting geometry to receive the strike.

Door Strike Plate
The strike plate, mounted to the top of the dishwasher tub, can become misaligned or bent due to thermal expansion and contraction or mechanical stress. If the strike does not align perfectly with the latch throat, the mechanical catch will not engage the over-center mechanism, preventing the door from staying closed.

Door Hinge Cable and Spring Kit
If the counterbalance tension provided by the door springs is excessive or if the cables are improperly routed, the door may experience a 'rebound' effect. This kinetic energy prevents the latch from reaching the final stage of engagement, making it appear as though the latch itself is at fault when the issue is actually door-closure velocity and alignment.
