Bosch Door Latch 00654621 OEM Part

Dishwasher Door Latch and Switch Assembly<br /><br />This component plays a vital role when a dishwasher's door latch malfunctions. It is compatible with multiple Bosch appliances, including Bosch, Thermador, and Gaggenau models. Serving as an OEM replacement, the Bosch door latch is pivotal in ensuring the dishwasher door remains securely fastened during the washing cycle. Positioned on the interior side of the dishwasher door, usually near the top or adjacent to the control panel, its primary function is to engage with the door strike or latch mechanism, ensuring proper closure during operation. Furthermore, the door lock contributes to preserving the integrity of the dishwasher's seal, preventing water and steam from escaping during wash, rinse, and dry cycles.<br /><br />This assembly becomes necessary if the dishwasher does not start.
