I bought a KitchenAid KUDS02FRSS dishwasher through a liquidation outlet last week.
The door latch is a thin piece of metal. It's shaped like 3 strips, with the 2 outer strips affixing it to the dishwasher itself & the middle strip hooking the catch on the door. After I installed it, the door wouldn't stay shut, so I put a washer under an outside strip, overlapping the top of the centre strip, holding it down. It seemed to work, but this time running it, the door kept popping open. Is there a way to keep it shut?
