    My built in Diplomat dishwasher was fine until a 10 stones family member used the open door as a step to get up to something they couldn’t reach!! If I hold the door firmly shut the cycle will start, but of course its not a very practical solution!. As I cannot imagine that the door latch would have been damaged, can anyone suggest what the cure might be. Thanks

    At a guess I’d say they’d bent the hinges

    Thanks guys: actually neither seems to be too bad, but having taken the panel off the door I found that the cables from the body of the machine up to the door switch etc had been put on the stretch and a plastic fitting broken. Pushing the door lock connector firmly into place has failed to cure the problem, so I’m expecting a new lock in the post in the morning, but if that’s not the answer I’ll have to get the machine right out to check the other end of the cables. Very many thanks. I am now using the machine with a broom handle firmly jamming the door shut.
