What This Part Does The door latch assembly on your GE dishwasher is responsible for securing the door shut during operation and signaling the control board that it's safe to begin a wash cycle. When the latch fails, the dishwasher may refuse to start, stop mid-cycle, or allow the door to pop open during operation — wasting water and leaving dishes dirty. Replacing the door latch with a genuine GE OEM part restores proper door engagement and cycle reliability.

If your dishwasher won't start and you can hear a click when you close the door but nothing happens, the latch switch may be faulty. If the door doesn't click at all or feels loose, the latch mechanism itself is likely broken. Q: Is this a genuine GE part? Yes — WG01L03124 is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from GE.

Special Order means this part is not stocked on-shelf and is ordered directly from the manufacturer on your behalf.
