WD01X29878 General Electric Dishwasher Door Latch

Dishwasher Door Latch

The Door Latch is a genuine OEM replacement part suitable for GE dishwashers, including brands like Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. This essential component serves a dual purpose: it locks the dishwasher door to prevent leaks and includes a door switch that confirms the door is closed, allowing the dishwasher to operate safely.

Indicators of a faulty door latch are:

- Difficulty in closing or locking the dishwasher door
- The dishwasher failing to start because the door switch does not sense that the door is shut
- Water leaks due to the door not being securely fastened
- Obvious damage or wear to the latch or switch

A door latch may malfunction due to normal wear and tear, mechanical issues that prevent the door from closing properly, or problems with the door switch failing to recognize whether the door is closed.

This GE part is also compatible with certain models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.
