Very helpful video. The latch on my dishwasher kept getting stuck in the closed position every time I opened the dishwasher so I had to follow the steps in the video each time I ran the dishwasher. After further investigating, I realized the top of the dishwasher has bowed after regular use for two years, and this caused the latch to not align properly. I stuck a piece of wood above the center of the tub and this fixed the issue. A much easier fix than replacing the latch. I also discovered that only the four screws at the bottom of the door need to be removed in order to access the latch.
Very helpful video thank you so much, however how can I fix the problem with the latch, I dont wanna go through the same process every time my wife has to wash the dishes?
It is guys like this that make the world a better place. Really appreciate the time you took to make this video and help people all over the world to be the family hero!
Buddy, you saved me so much time with this. Thank you. This was exactly my problem. Sorted out in 5 minutes. Didn't even have to tell my wife I "broke the dishwasher". My brother.
After searching through a bunch of links and TH-cams that were barking up different trees, I connected the dots that my problem wasn't about the panel lights, it was about the door latch, and this video solved the problem exactly! Thank you!!
YUP I HAVE SAME DISHWASHER.. THIS LOCK THING HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON MINE. SINCE COUPLE MONTHS OLD.. STILL DOES IT ONCE IN A WHILE.. GREAT QUIK HOW TO VIDEO HERE… THANKYOU 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I cannot believe how much work and searching it took before I found this video!! I bet this is the freaking problem!! Ugh! Thank you so much for posting this!!
You my friend have become my hero. After a week of trying to figure this out, I ran across your video. You sir saved my life. 4 years after you posted this video you’re still helping people. Thank you so much.
I can not thank you enough for making this video! It was easy to follow. I am a 40 year old woman who just fixed her dishwasher herself. I am so grateful for the money you saved my family!
Omg I just had this problem right now, 10:00pm, and I was desperate cause I just got this machine!!! Thank you so much for this video! God bless you my friend! 2023
YOU ROCKED THIS. Fixed. Thank you sincerely. Frigidaire dishwasher. The control board would not respond. Breaker off for 5 minutes, when turned it on the lights would flash for a few seconds and the go out and no matter what buttons I pressed, nothing. Found this video, played with the latch a little bit, breaker back on and it worked. Thank you!
I will be number 207 to thank you. Wife wanted to call a plumber but with our economy I decided to look on youtube. Since we have the same brand your video came up. Worked like a charm. Thank you for taking the time to post.
Has there really been that many comments? Lol. I’m glad it worked for you. Seeing how much positive feedback I’ve got from it makes me feel it was really worth posting up. Take care!
Thank you soooo much for making this video! We JUST installed our dishwasher today and it wasn’t working. You can imagine out disappointment , since it was straight out of the box! We were considering our options and I turned to TH-cam. Your video saved the day and we had the exact same issue. We were able to fix it and celebrate the victory! Thanks to guys like you! From our family to yours , thank you for saving us stress and money!
Thank you, discovered the dishwasher wasn't working and noticed it wasn't latching. Decided to search on TH-cam and found this video. My husband followed your instructions, and now I'm washing a load of dishes 😊
I have so much appreciation for you!! THANK YOU. Our handyman keeps dodging my calls, and I took the matters into my own hands, and I fixed it. Literally so grateful 😭💛
Exactly the fix for my Frigidaire dishwasher. We had a power blip last night and dishwasher stopped responding. Power cycled, checked circuit breakers and GCFM outlets; no fix. Was about to look up pulling the board but your video saved me a lot of time and money. THANK YOU!
Just wanted to say THANKS for posting this informative video. After spending a couple hours online, I self diagnosed it incorrectly as a bad latch switch. Bought a new switch, installed, dishwasher still wouldn't run. The new switch came in the locked position too. Back up and running now!
your a lifesaver!!!!!!!!...spent hours thinking it was a thermal fuse and opening up control box------then came across your video and said hmmmm---maybe it the latch-------and it was.....yipeeeee.....thks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sir, on this Memorial Day, I would like to thank you. I don't know how much I saved on this repair, but it was exactly what was wrong, and now it works perfectly.
My mom always says she has such bad luck with appliances and all I did was watch your video and fixed it so fast she was so thankful thank you for taking the time out your day to help people god bless you
An hour ago I was pricing out new dishwashers after a repairman told me that it was likely a board and not only would it be hard to get, but also expensive enough that I'd probably want to by a new washer instead. Then I stumbled on this and solved my problem in a matter of minutes for free. Thanks, dude!!!
Yup i have the same dishwasher, this happened to me 10 months in. Thank u so much for taking the time to make this video. Cheers to the unsung heroes of TH-cam!!!
You're a freaking rockstar! THANK YOU for this! I too am a bad boy, living life on the edge...I didn't turn the power off ;) 15 minutes, ZERO parts, and no service call...I don't mind calling an expert when needed, but this is a DIY thing!
Thank you so much for posting this! I replaced the locking mechanism with no luck. I was about to change the entire until I found this video. Bam! Washing as we speak!
You are a life saver I've been into the board over and again. I could get it into service mode and test, but no actual run time. The lock was exactly what it was. Thank you!!!!!
We have the same tiles, same screwdriver 🪛 and same crappy dishwasher with same issue. Great video. Saved me from a repair call or buying a new dishwasher.
This worked for me. Getting the latch back around the metal pin. My pin came out and needed to be put back in place. Possibly broke plastic, but for now it is back in working order. Thank you
THANK YOU!!! Ours did this when it was 3 months old too - we replaced it through warranty not knowing the problem. Did it again today (2 years later) and I found your video 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 it’s fixed and running now 💃
Follow up. I have a Samsung Dishwasher. Similar setup. Removed all torque head screws from inside the door panel. Separated easily. Latch was clipped within the control panel. Slid off electrical connection (no clip). Pressed together, plastic clips to remove latch. ( Longer center screws removed earlier from center of panel held latch in place) Latch was in the closed position pushed on latch, returned to the open position. Reinstalled in reverse and tested no issues. Expect the cause to be my Grand babies little fingers helping grandmom Total cost just the time no money.
We have a one-day-old dishwasher - it seems it is the same model as in the video - Frigidaire Gallery. After the technician installed it, it ran exactly one time. The technician even said that you have to handle the door very carefully. And we did, but it does the same thing as the one in the video. No lights at panel and door doesn't latch. This video explains everything. Stay away from Frigidaire and stay away from Lowe's who rec'd this model with the highest praise. Wow wow wow. But thanks for this video!!!
Thank you. My mom almost bought another dishwasher before watching your video and we fixed our dishwasher in like 15 minutes. Thank you for you for your video.
Thanks for posting this video. Not much available online to help diagnose issues with these dishwashers. You saved our Thanksgiving! Thank you so much.
First, I love TH-cam. Second, thank you for doing this. We literally had our landlord install this dishwasher, and it’s not even 2wks old. Would not shut and I deduced that it was a latch issue. I figured in would have to take the panel off to access it, but wasn’t sure. Lo and behold you provided the blueprint. I appreciate the walk-through. Made the wife happy.
Thank you my friend you are an Angel thanks so much for sharing you helped me after my wife said the sky is falling I said no worries TH-cam to the rescue you explained it very well and detailed. Earl
Thank you so much. I was so frustrated trying to figure it out. I couldn't afford a new one and was afraid I was gonna have to keep buying parts or replace it. I owe you Thank you
I am a hard head too. Breaker off ha!!! I have to thank you again for this video. I’ve had my dishwasher since last year. No issues at all. As we all know, anything mass produced can have flaws and issues. I am absolutely happy for your thoughtful help!!!
Excellent video! All the "handyman" forums kept stating to try different button combinations. From reading these comments, this simple video has saved so many people so much money. Thank you for taking the time to make and post it.
Thank you so much! Me and mom couldn’t figure this out to save our lives and we clicked on this video and boom fixed it in 5 mins! Life saver 🎉 thank you again
This fixed it, thank you so much for the video. After you remove the 10 screws in the door just let the door go back to the almost closed position and the stainless panel will slide down off the tabs that are holding it. To reinstall just slide it back up and it locks on the tabs again then you can open the door fully and reinstall the screws. Do not try to pry the stainless panel off as you'll bend it. It slides off and on with the use of small tabs on the door. Mine was a FGID2466QFSA model.
Thank you so much! The exact same thing happened to me yesterday- with the same dishwasher, also less than 3 months old. I fixed it quickly after finding and watching this video!
You absolutely saved me. I had to replace the keypad controls and had this problem. I almost ordered a control panel before i watched your video and I did what you suggested and it worked perfectly. Kudos sir. Well done.
We used this video to troubleshoot and repair our Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher (slightly different model than the one in the video) and it worked like a charm! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and saving us a costly appliance repair.
Thank you very much...i fixed my dish washer using this method different model but looks identical behind the panel...it was super easy and saved me a headache and cash..may god bless you 🙏 and thank you again
Thank you for making this video, it save me and my family a lot of time and money not needing a replacement unit. Lucky it was just a door latch that got stuck. I remove the front panel and pushed it back in, then plug in the power. It took me less than 10 minutes. Thanks again.
Appreciate your video. I had a 2004 Frigidaire portable that wasn't starting. Narrowed down the issue to the panel and suspected the latch. Your vid pushed me in the right direction. In my case, the older type latch just needed a little lithium grease. This one is 17 years old. Replaced a water level sensor and a pump motor over it's lifetime, but I like it because it's fairly simple to fix.
I had this exact problem and thanks to you I fixed it (relatively) quickly before I made the choice to buy an expensive and unneeded control panel. Thank you from the bottom of my wallet!
Sir you are a god! Thank you so much for doing this video. I am a first time homeowner (apartments all my life, *phone rings* "yes maintenance?") and we've been in for just over a month with a brand new dishwasher that started doing this same exact thing. I for one am not real handy when it comes to fixing equipment and stuff like that, but this video totally saved me from having to call a company and forking out $$$. Didn't take long at all to do either. Thank you again!
Solid video, resolved my issues, I had a Frigidaire Gallery, but same exact issue and fix. The latch was somehow in the locked position and would not latch, removed the face per the video, pushed in the latch piece and used a flat head to push the bottom piece back behind the silver bar. Did it with electricity on because I too am a bad a$$.
Thank you very much, the same thing happened yesterday. I told my husband to call a repairmen but he found your video and Walla!!! it started back working again. Our dishwasher is just 5 months old too hmmmm!!!
Thank you SOOOO much. Used thus to fix our dishwasher on Christmas morning 🌄 @ 0800!!!!!! 2021 can't end soon enough!!!!!!!! Ours was just about 1 year old.
Thank god. My dishwasher was installed YESTERDAY, I opened it while in the cycle (being absent minded) and it wouldn’t close. I popped it open and BAM. Fixed. Thank you
This was a huge live saver man! Just got my Frigidaire 2 months ago and same thing happened. Didn't have a T20 so thought I was going to have to go an buy that, but turns out you only need to take the 4 Phillips out for the front cover and you can fix that way.
Bro thank you so munch I have spend money already people coming to check it out and telling me it was the control panel board and I went and buy it then it didn’t work then they told me it was the touch key board and I went and bought that too it installed it today and it wasn’t that so I went to TH-cam and thank God I found you video bro. And it was that thank you so much it same dishwasher as yours and same barely a year old. Thanks for save me spending more money. Now I have a happy wife 😂
Thank you so much! I didn't have confident before with the place i'm rentimg in, they said they would send somebody like 2 month ago and never did, thanks to you simple problem solved
This is Tammie Miller commenting. I want to thank you for taking the time to put this simple fix out here for folks like myself who went into panic mode. I was just saying this morning that I couldn't survive life without my dishwasher and then I load it and BOOM...what do you know, My dishwasher won't start or latch. I haven't gotten it fixed yet, but this is the problem. It's doing exactly what yours is and not even a year old. It does do a fantastic job though. I love my Frigidaire!
Thanks! Watch out for the drain valve malfunction! I’ve already had to change it once and it looks like it may need it again! This dishwasher I swear 🙄
just fixed my problem! great video, i have a similar model (crap) i actually didn’t need to remove the torque screws, the front panel popped off and exposed that latch, was able to reset from the front! thanks for this video.
Thanks a lot for your video I already fix mine after six months lol was new when I bought my house and make same problem but now is back to work again God bless you 🙏
Thank you so much!!! I just fixed my dishwasher because of you!!! I had rewatched to remember to PUSH in the switch. God Bless buddy and merry Christmas to you and family. No my wife said I can take her out from the money we saved 😂😂😂👍👍👍
thank you my dishwasher is less then tree months as well same dishwasher no kids to stick a fork or knife have no clue how it did that I will try what you did tomorrow thank you so much for the video
Awesome. My DIY repairs usually end up with me buying expensive replacement parts and taking hours to complete, This was fixed in minutes with no expense.
I agree with Daniel M Page. Thank you very much you just saved me a great deal of time and frustration. I also learned something about the operation of dishwasher! Thanks again! John
Just want to thank you for making the video, I just solve the problem exactly like you said. This definitely is a design flaw since so many users have the same problem
Very helpful video. The latch on my dishwasher kept getting stuck in the closed position every time I opened the dishwasher so I had to follow the steps in the video each time I ran the dishwasher. After further investigating, I realized the top of the dishwasher has bowed after regular use for two years, and this caused the latch to not align properly. I stuck a piece of wood above the center of the tub and this fixed the issue. A much easier fix than replacing the latch. I also discovered that only the four screws at the bottom of the door need to be removed in order to access the latch.
Excellent added tips! I’ll pin your comment! Thank you
This video and pinned comment was a huge help. Thanks so much y’all and stay blessed out there.
Where exactly did you stuck that piece of wood?? I have the exact same problem with my dishwasher
Very helpful video thank you so much, however how can I fix the problem with the latch, I dont wanna go through the same process every time my wife has to wash the dishes?
@@aaronpineda9752 In the gap above the dishwasher, between the tub and counter, to keep the dishwasher from bowing
It is guys like this that make the world a better place. Really appreciate the time you took to make this video and help people all over the world to be the family hero!
Damn, that might be the nicest compliment I’ve ever had on TH-cam haha. Thank you!
I now have needed to do this 3 times, and I get more efficient each time this stupid latch fails 😂
@@onefortheroad2291 Tons of thanks! I was stumped and this was so helpful!!
Absolutely!!!! Especially for women lol

Local repair place did a diagnostic for $150 and quoted me $700 to repair it. This video just fixed it for free!
That’s awesome!
Amazing fix. I stuck a knife in the lock and triggered it at midnight at my MIL’s house. This saved my evening!

Was about to look up pulling the board but your video saved me a lot of time and money.
THANK YOU!

Yup i have the same dishwasher, this happened to me 10 months in. Thank u so much for taking the time to make this video. Cheers to the unsung heroes of TH-cam!!!
Perfect fix! Mine is only a year old so I knew it had to be something simple, but I never figured it was this simple. Thanks Much!
Glad it worked! It’s terrible how common this problem is on new dishwashers, just glad the fix is relatively simple
You're a freaking rockstar! THANK YOU for this! I too am a bad boy, living life on the edge...I didn't turn the power off ;) 15 minutes, ZERO parts, and no service call...I don't mind calling an expert when needed, but this is a DIY thing!

The lock was exactly what it was.
Thank you!!!!!
I just fixed my dishwasher due to this video. Thank you so so very much! My husband will be very proud of me. 😊
Thanks, few days b4 Christmas and we are hosting and the dishwasher won’t close… marked up price on Amazon… took 5 mins, thank you!
Hey that’s awesome that it worked out! Bad enough it happened, never mind so close to the holiday!
We have the same tiles, same screwdriver 🪛 and same crappy dishwasher with same issue. Great video. Saved me from a repair call or buying a new dishwasher.
Hahaha!
Thanks a lot. This was day ONE of our new dishwasher. I watched other videos but no one hit the nail on the head. Thank you.
Thanks for support!
Very helpful video…I fixed mine with your help with same problem and need not to wait for Frigidaire mechanic for 1 month…
Honestly, I never write comments. This video was so nicely detailed and saved me a huge headache. Thank you!
Thanks I appreciate that!

Wow someone who actually trouble shoots problems and try to fix them before throwing money and parts at it.
Nicely Done thanks for sharing brother.
Thanks for the compliment!

This was exactly my issue. Couldnt close the door because the latch was locked. Was simple to reset. Thank you
You rock my man!!!! Had the same problem thanks to your video I was able to fix no problem!!! I appreciate you!!

The latch was somehow in the locked position and would not latch, removed the face per the video, pushed in the latch piece and used a flat head to push the bottom piece back behind the silver bar. Did it with electricity on because I too am a bad a$$.
We like to live dangerously, what can I say? Haha
Thank you man. Your video helped me fix the problem with my dishwasher 🙏
Thank you very much, the same thing happened yesterday. I told my husband to call a repairmen but he found your video and Walla!!! it started back working again. Our dishwasher is just 5 months old too hmmmm!!!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for the support!
Thank you SOOOO much. Used thus to fix our dishwasher on Christmas morning 🌄 @ 0800!!!!!! 2021 can't end soon enough!!!!!!!! Ours was just about 1 year old.
Awesome! Glad it worked for you! Merry Christmas!!
Saved us from having to hire someone to fix our simple problem! Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!! Your video is the ONLYYY one that helped it’s been 2 weeks now I been trying to fix this dang machine!
Thanks for the simple fix. I’m shocked there hasn’t been a recall on this design. I have to readjust it like every week.
You’re welcome
Thank god. My dishwasher was installed YESTERDAY, I opened it while in the cycle (being absent minded) and it wouldn’t close. I popped it open and BAM. Fixed. Thank you
One day? You might be the record on this channel lol
This was a huge live saver man! Just got my Frigidaire 2 months ago and same thing happened. Didn't have a T20 so thought I was going to have to go an buy that, but turns out you only need to take the 4 Phillips out for the front cover and you can fix that way.
Thank you, my young son jammed a spoon into the latch mechanism when we were not looking and it stopped working. Its was a month old.
You’re very welcome!
Bro thank you so munch I have spend money already people coming to check it out and telling me it was the control panel board and I went and buy it then it didn’t work then they told me it was the touch key board and I went and bought that too it installed it today and it wasn’t that so I went to TH-cam and thank God I found you video bro. And it was that thank you so much it same dishwasher as yours and same barely a year old. Thanks for save me spending more money. Now I have a happy wife 😂
Thank you so much! I didn't have confident before with the place i'm rentimg in, they said they would send somebody like 2 month ago and never did, thanks to you simple problem solved
This was a life saver I literally just got this dishwasher and was freaking out thought I broke it was in tears! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words!
My dishwasher is 3 months old also. Thanks so much for the video, it's working again. Exactly what the problem was
This is Tammie Miller commenting. I want to thank you for taking the time to put this simple fix out here for folks like myself who went into panic mode. I was just saying this morning that I couldn't survive life without my dishwasher and then I load it and BOOM...what do you know, My dishwasher won't start or latch. I haven't gotten it fixed yet, but this is the problem. It's doing exactly what yours is and not even a year old. It does do a fantastic job though. I love my Frigidaire!
Thanks for the kind words!
OMG! This totally worked! It was the door latch, I’m up, and running again!
Thank you very much. Just fixed my dishwasher in 20 minutes just by following your great video.
Great glad it helped! If you don’t mind subscribing, it would help the channel grow. I’d appreciate it!
Absolutely. I Just did.
Thanks! Watch out for the drain valve malfunction! I’ve already had to change it once and it looks like it may need it again! This dishwasher I swear 🙄
just fixed my problem! great video, i have a similar model (crap) i actually didn’t need to remove the torque screws, the front panel popped off and exposed that latch, was able to reset from the front! thanks for this video.
Great video. Had the cover off and couldn't figure out the latch part, so this was perfect.
Thanks a lot for your video I already fix mine after six months lol was new when I bought my house and make same problem but now is back to work again God bless you 🙏
Thank you so much!!! I just fixed my dishwasher because of you!!! I had rewatched to remember to PUSH in the switch. God Bless buddy and merry Christmas to you and family. No my wife said I can take her out from the money we saved 😂😂😂👍👍👍
You saved my day. I did it. So quick fix. More videos please. U are helping a lot of people for sure
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words
thank you my dishwasher is less then tree months as well same dishwasher no kids to stick a fork or knife have no clue how it did that I will try what you did tomorrow thank you so much for the video
Awesome. My DIY repairs usually end up with me buying expensive replacement parts and taking hours to complete, This was fixed in minutes with no expense.
I agree with Daniel M Page.
Thank you very much you just saved me a great deal of time and frustration. I also learned something about the operation of dishwasher!
Thanks again!
John
Happy it worked out for you!
Just want to thank you for making the video, I just solve the problem exactly like you said. This definitely is a design flaw since so many users have the same problem
Thank you for the support!
Same. This should somehow default to unlatched when it loses power!
@@JoeCole1 It's a mechanical switch, so there is no default possible.
