Fixing a misaligned dishwasher or appliance door latch involves adjusting the mounting alignment between the door strike and the frame catch receiver. First, inspect the mounting screws on the door strike or upper frame latch assembly to see if they are loose, allowing the component to shift. Second, check your appliance leveling legs; if the unit is tilted unevenly, the entire metal cabinet warps and throws the latch out of alignment. You can troubleshoot alignment easily using basic hand tools. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when tightening mounting screws and adjusting the leveling feet allows the door to close smoothly and click firmly into the locked position without binding.
