Haier Dishwasher won't latch
If your Haier dishwasher won't latch, start with the parts most likely to keep the door from closing squarely. A damaged door hinge is the top cause, since a bent or broken hinge can throw the door out of alignment and keep the latch from catching. Next, check the door seal for damage or a section that has pulled out of its track, because a misaligned seal can prevent the door from seating fully. If the door feels heavy, drops fast, or takes extra force to close, inspect the door spring and door cable, as either one can strain the hinge and lead to a dishwasher door won't latch problem. Then look at the door latch itself and the door strike. If either part is cracked, worn, or broken, the latch will not catch properly. For a dishwasher latch not catching or a dishwasher door latch broken issue, these are the most common fixes. Enter your Haier dishwasher model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact door hinge, door seal, door spring, door cable, door latch, or door strike that fits your machine.

02 - Haier Dishwasher Door Seal
A dishwasher door having trouble latching could be caused by a damaged or misaligned door seak. Confirm the seal is fully seated in its track and replace if necessary.
Highly Likely
03 - Haier Dishwasher Door Spring
A dishwasher door spring is attached to a cable to prevent the door from dropping down when opened and to allow the door to be more easily closed and latched. If the door feels heavy when opened or falls quickly, a broken door spring or cable is likely the cause. If the damaged component is not replaced, the strain on the door hinge can lead to hinge failure which can result in the door not latching properly. It is recommended to replace both door springs at the same time to reduce uneven wear.
