If your Crosley dishwasher won't latch, start with the parts most likely to throw the door out of position. Damaged door hinges are the top cause, since even a slightly bent hinge can keep the door from lining up with the latch. Next, check the door seal or gasket to make sure it is fully seated and not bunched up, torn, or misaligned. A broken door spring or door cable can also make the door feel heavy or drop too fast, which puts extra strain on the hinges and can lead to a Crosley dishwasher door won't latch problem. If the door is aligned but still not catching, inspect the door latch and door strike for cracks, wear, or obvious damage. In many cases, a dishwasher latch not catching comes down to one of these mechanical parts rather than an electrical issue.
