6.7 Replacing door latches and sensors

Required tools:
Magnet
Permanent magnet
The door latch is mounted on top of the tank and contains a magnet, not a microswitch.
A Hall effect sensor in the door senses the magnet when the door is closed.
Before replacing the latch or sensor, check if the latch is misaligned and cannot be
read by the sensor by checking the sensor with a magnet. If the dishwasher runs when
the magnet is held above the left screw of the sensor (see below), the sensor is OK --
adjust the door, door latch or door seal.
