…..its still not working properly!
The door lock started playing up a while ago. After looking on here, I found I could get the dishwasher working by ‘turning’ the lock mechanism through the slot with a couple of screwdrivers. Anyway, I finally got round to buying a new lock mechanism (without the microswitch). I fitted it today….but its just the same! 👿 The door won’t lock unless I do the screwdriver thing. Have I missed something obvious? 😳 Help!

Bend the “loop” down on the body to engage the lock properly. Also possible that it has slipped backwards and needs re-adjusting forwards.

Thanks for that…..bent the loop a little bit and the lock now seems to engage properly…..but! the programme light is just flashing and won’t move to a different programme when the ‘P’ button is pressed. Any ideas?!
Thanks again.

Done more fiddling, and its still not working! 😥
I’ve adjusted the loop every which way, but its obviously not ‘tripping’ the latch when the door’s opened once the programme’s finished.
There’s presumably nothing I can do to the (new) latch mechanism by way of adjustment….any ideas anyone?! 😕

Two things…..
Firstly check that the microswitch is fully clipped home otherwise the actuating lever in the lock will miss it so the pcb thinks the door is shut and will not program.
Secondly, examine the facia carefully where the top ‘fingers’ of the lock mechanism slot in….anything broken or cracked then you’ll need a facia. (i have made temporary fixes on these by drilling the facia to put a cable tie through to secure the lock) 😉
