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.

It’s a shame GE’s dishwasher breaks so easily but this replacement is a straight forward swap. The stars are for the partselect site, if you own this dishwasher, maybe buy two door switches to save some time a year from now.

I got lucky and didn't have to do anything hard to switch out latches. However I don't think the issue was the door latch. Still thinks its open.

Easy Peasy!!!
PartSelect made my dishwasher repair very easy. First of all, the PartSelect web page has an easy to use finder, just put in the model number of your appliance and a page comes up with several options, they provide a couple of comprehensive tools to find the specific part if you already know what you need, but the option titled "Find Part by Symptom" was what I found most useful. Once you select the problem from the provided list, you are taken to a page that lists the parts that could be the solution along with an estimate of what percentage of the time the listed part is the answer to the problem. Couldn't be easier to make a decision on what to do. Additionally, they provide a comprehensive Q&A listing as well as step-by-step instructional videos to guide you through the repair! Using PartSelect saved me the cost of service calls and other expenses as well as helped me get my dishwasher back in service quickly! I highly recommend PartSelect if you are even just slightly handy.

Start button stuck
The replacement of the parts was simple enough, but the board appears to need a jumper which was not in the original board.
The start button works, but beeps three times and doesn’t start the washer
I watched a step by step video provided on the Fix It app. Easy to follow directions and only took minutes to tear apart and put back together. Didn't even require help from my husband. Although the latch and striker were not the problem, contacted parts select and they then recommended the electronic control board, they ordered it, had

When we closed the door, it would only beep 3 times, over and over
I watched the video on how to replace the parts and it was very easy. Unplug the power cord, remove the kick plate and insulation. Remove the small square metal cover, remove the 2 screws that hold the control board plate. Unplug the wires, put the control board plate on the counter and replace the board.

Dishwasher won't start.
Nightmare!!! The Striker latch did not pop out with a screwdriver as it was supposed to. The whole dishwasher needs to be disconnected and pulled out, then front door removed and totally disassembled to remove the screw to replace the striker latch. lots of work to replace a striker latch. Bad design!

My dishwasher will not start after pushing the start "button" the light continues to blink, even after powering down and turning the power back on it starts to blink. Any ideas?

The lights won't come on my dishwasher. It seems it has no power but it does have hot power running to it
For model number GDF540HSD0SS
Hi Ronny,
Thank you for your inquiry. There may be connection issue between the electronic control board and the touchpad. I would try unplugging it for 10 minutes and plugging it back in to see if that fixes the issue. If not I would use a multimeter to see which part is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I have this dishwasher just for a year,,,,no lights,,,,but the power it's ok,,,,i was planing to buy the door latch.Any help please.
For model number General electric model. GDF620HGJ2WW
Hi Fernando,
Thank you for your question. If your dishwasher is not turning on, the part that fixes the issue the majority of the time is the door latch. If the door latch is not the issue, you will need to check the touchpad, the electronic control board and the wiring between the touchpad and the electronic control board. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

The door will not close right or sometimes in middle of a cycle will unlatch and the start light is blinking Green. What would cause this. Sometimes i have to hold the door shut while it's cycling so pressure doesn't move it to where start button comes on
For model number GDF510PGD6BB
Hi Patsy,
Thank you for your question. If the door opens during a wash cycle, then you will need to check the door latch and the latch striker to see which part is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Will this part work for my actual model number? The model number in the drop box is one digit different than the model number stamped on my dishwasher. Also, i have no lights on my control panel. Will this latch restore power to my controls?
For model number GDT580SMF2ES
Hi David,
Thank you for your question. This is the correct part for your model number. The door latch could be the part that is causing that problem but you may have to check your control board and your wiring for any burn marks or discoloration. It could be either your latch or your board. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I had this dishwasher installed when i had my kitchen remodeled 3 years ago. Because i live alone i hardly ever used it (8-10 times). I did try to run it recently and it won't start. I turned off the circuit breaker (30+ seconds), depressed and held 'start' and 'select cycle' buttons. All the lights came on for 3-4 seconds then went off. Now 'lock controls' light is on but nothing else lights up. ?
For model number GDF520PGJ2WW
Hello Dana, thank you for writing. Replacing this Door Latch part number PS6447681 for your model dishwasher should fix the issue. You may also want to consider the main control board, or Service Machine Control, part number PS12726419. Good luck with your repair!

Hello Darren, thank you for writing. You will want to consider replacing the Door Latch, part number PS6447681, or the Latch Striker, part number PS8690622. You may also want to consider the Flood Switch, part number PS8690623 for your model as the cause. Good luck with your repair!

My dishwasher tells me to close the door to start when it’s already closed. And it beeps three times. Is that the door latch that needs replacement?
For model number CDT835SSJ0SS
Hi Connie, thank you for getting in touch. We believe your dishwasher is having this problem due to a faulty door latch, part number PS6447681, which may need to be replaced. Glad to be of assistance!

Had a power surge and have replaced the control board and iu board and also the door latch. Now my iu board comes on and off at random times. Wondering if the new door latch could be bad and causing fluctuations turning it on/off.
For model number GDT655SGJ0BB
Hello Wyatt, Thank you for your inquiry. You can test the switch with a multimeter to see if it is functioning properly. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. You may also have an issue with the wiring. Hope this helps!
