Ensure the proper functionality of your GE dishwasher with the WG04F10172 - Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Door Latch. This high-quality, genuine OEM part is designed to fit a wide range of GE dishwasher models, offering a secure and reliable replacement for your malfunctioning or damaged door latch.

Function and Importance of the GE Dishwasher Door Latch

The WG04F10172 Dishwasher Door Latch plays a crucial role in keeping your dishwasher door securely closed during operation. It ensures that the door stays tightly sealed while your dishwasher is running, preventing water from leaking and allowing the appliance to operate efficiently. A faulty or broken door latch can cause the dishwasher door to open during a cycle, leading to water leakage and incomplete washing. It also plays a role in activating the dishwasher’s safety mechanism, ensuring that the appliance doesn't run unless the door is securely shut. Without a functioning door latch, the dishwasher will either fail to operate or cause significant water damage in your kitchen.

Common Symptoms Indicating the Need for Replacement

• Dishwasher door not staying closed: If your dishwasher door won’t latch properly or keeps opening during cycles, the latch may be broken or worn out.
• Water leaking from the dishwasher: A faulty latch can cause water to leak out from around the door during washing or draining cycles.
• Dishwasher not starting: If the dishwasher isn’t starting, even when properly set, a malfunctioning door latch may be preventing it from locking, as most dishwashers require a securely latched door to begin a cycle.
• Difficulty closing the door: If you’re having trouble closing the dishwasher door or it feels misaligned, it could be a sign that the latch mechanism needs to be replaced.
