GE dishwasher door won't close or stays ajar

The door will not latch, or the machine stops when pushed shut. These are the GE part numbers we hold for the components that cause it, with the number of models each one is listed against.

Before you order anything

  1. Look for a seal that has come out of its channel — it can be reseated without replacing it.
  2. Test the latch by hand: it should click twice. One click means the strike is misaligned.
  3. If the door sags, the hinge or its hardware has worn, not the seal.

This is a diagnostic starting point built from the parts listed for GE dishwashers, not a service manual. Confirm the model plate inside the door before ordering: one character changes the part.
