Ikea Dishwasher won't latch
If your Ikea dishwasher won't latch, start with the parts most likely to keep the door from closing and catching correctly. A damaged door hinge is the top suspect, since a bent or broken hinge can throw the whole door out of alignment. Next, check the door seal to make sure it is seated properly and not warped or damaged, because a misaligned seal can keep the door from closing far enough to latch. If the door feels heavy, drops open too fast, or is hard to control, inspect the door spring and door cable, since either one can fail and put extra strain on the hinge. After that, look closely at the door latch and door strike for cracks, wear, or obvious damage. When an Ikea dishwasher door won't latch, the fix is usually one of these door-related parts, and replacing the failed part is often straightforward.

02 - Ikea 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 - Ikea 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.
Highly Likely
04 - Ikea Dishwasher Door Latch
Inspect the door latch assembly for damage. If the door latch is broken, replace it. The door latch is not repairable—if it is broken, you must replace it.
Highly Likely
05 - Ikea Dishwasher Door Cable

If the door feels heavy when opened or falls quickly, a broken door cable or spring 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 cables at the same time to reduce uneven wear.
Highly Likely
06 - Ikea Dishwasher Door Strike
Inspect the door strike assembly for damage. If the door strike is broken, replace it. The door strike is not repairable—if it is broken, you must replace it.
