This is replacement door latch for your dishwasher. The door latch is attached to the tub frame, and connects to the door strike to keep your dishwasher door closed during operation. If you have a broken or faulty door latch, your dishwasher door may not stay closed, and this can prevent the dishwasher from running. This item is sold individually, and if your door strike is also damaged, you will need to replace that part separately. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Door latch not functioning
1. Turn off breaker supplying power to dishwasher in electrical panel
2. Open dishwasher door
3. Unscrew the screws that secure the dishwasher to the counter.
4. Tip dishwasher forward. Identify the non-functioning door latch. It looks exactly like the replacement. Unclip the wire harness from the door latch.
5. On the inside of the dishwasher, there are 2 screws directly under the door latch. Unscrew them and carefully set aside.
6. Remove old door latch.
7. Set new door latch in place. Holding securely, replace screws removed in step 5. Toward the end they get a little tougher to screw in.
8. Plug wire harness into new door latch.
9. Re-align dishwasher and re-secure to counter in previous position.
10. Test latch to make sure it closes properly.
11. Turn on breaker in electrical panel.
The dishwasher should now function properly.

No power/response at the control panel. Replaced power board first, did not solve the issue. Replaced the control board and works perfectly now.
Followed directions available on YouTube and the written instructions that came with the part. I made the repair more complicated than necessary as I did not notice that the jumpers come attached only to ONE pin out of the box. I took two tries to get the jumper settings right.

No lights at control panel and no start
Downloaded the GE manual from the internet. Followed the GE repair manual trouble shooting guide. The manual contains all of the disassembly and reassembly instructions. Main board had a more than one volt higher than listed voltage output. Manual does not list an acceptable voltage range so I ordered a new main board. New board had the same output and did not fix the problem. I ordered a new UI board. The new board is a genuine GE "programable" replacement board that covers multiple models.
I set the indicated jumper to the required position for my application and installed it. The problem was not corrected. I read that some people had problems with defective replacement boards so I contacted PartSelect to return the first two boards and reordered the UI board.
I once again set the jumper and installed the UI board and it worked immediately.
The whole repair was extremely easy. PartSelect is very good to work with. I had no problems with returns or refunds. I will definitely use them again if I have the need for any of their products. There were slightly cheaper suppliers, but PartSelect had the parts I needed in stock and they shipped my order lightning fast. They are more than worth the few extra pennies difference.

This dishwasher latch strike is a manufacturer-approved replacement part for your appliance. The latch strike is an important component in your dishwasher door assembly, and adds an extra layer of security in keeping the door closed. This part may become damaged if the door has been opened during a wash cycle. It can also wear out over time. It is fairly easy to replace, simply pop out the old door strike using a screwdriver for leverage, and insert the new one.

Dishwasher would not know door was closed
Parts diagram shows Striker can be popped out with screwdriver. Not true. It has a screw bolting it internally. Impossible to get to unless you disassemble the entire door. We took a power drill and small drill bit and bore it out like a cavity in a tooth. Needle nose pliers to extract the screw. Pretend your a dentist. Fixed it in 5 minutes. Replacement fit tight. A+

Most of the lights on the control panel had stopped working. There was no way to change the settings of the dishwasher.
When the part arrived, I was pretty sure it was the wrong part. The replacement part had an LED on it -- a box that stuck up about an inch above the circuit board. My dishwasher did not have an LED readout and I was pretty sure the LED would not fit in the space that was available. I was reluctant to take the dishwasher apart until I had the right part. The people at Part Select were helpful and together we looked at the schematic which did, indeed, seem to show a box sticking up from the circuit board. A YouTube video showed me how to take the door off its hinges, unscrew 4 screws and slide the inside of the door upwards. The circuit board went in fairly easily. There was space for the LED (even though it still doesn't show through the top) and now the lights work.

Customer Repair Stories

Sprayer arms didn't operate and dishes were not cleaned
We bought this GE dishwasher new. After 9 months, we started noticing the dishes were not cleaning well. Eventually, the machine just filled up with water and drained. The washing arms didn't work. I replaced fill valve, but that didn't solve it. A GE Tech ran a diagnostic and informed us the pump motor was bad. It was off warranty and repairs would be $300. However, he noted it was easy to do on my own. Two pipe clamps. The part from PartsSelect was 40% less than ordering from GE and was a GE part. Replacement took half an hour and that includes getting it wrong once (one connection leaked due to a bad job attaching the pipe clamp). Works like a champ now.

Dishwasher ran but didn't wash
I got lucky and found the diagnostic test instructions tucked inside the washer under the kick plate. From there I ran the tests on each component until I narrowed it down to the pump. The pump cost me less than local dealers. The install went well. Watched the online videos to make sure I was doing it right. Was actually very easy and saved hundreds over a service call.
