bottom of the tub and extending the gasket 2
inches to the center of the tub.

Latch System
The door switches are rated at 13.5 VDC. The door
latch switches open and close the line and neutral
break relays on the main control. The latch assembly
is located on top of the tub. A strike on the door
activates the switches, and the latch assembly holds
the door in when the door is latched closed.
The dishwasher must be pulled out 6 to 8 inches
from its installed position to replace the latch switch.
To Replace the Door Latch / Switch Assembly
1. Remove power to the dishwasher.
2. Remove the dishwasher from its installed
position, approximately 6 to 8 inches.
3. Remove two screws, (R2 Robertson / Carpenters
Bit or #2 Phillips screwdriver).
4. Disconnect the wiring to the switch.
Latch Switch Diagnosis
Diagnoses can be accomplished in Consumer Error
Mode (see Consumer Error Mode) or with an ohm
meter at the main control board as described below.

when the door is open and closed when the
door is closed.
