Whirlpool Dishwasher starts after keeping the door pressed manually.

Hi, I have an Ikea whirlpool dishwasher. It had a free fall door because hinge string was broken which I replaced. Now, it starts when I keep the door pressed manually. It runs for sometime even if I stop pressing the door but stops after sometime. If I presss the door again then it starts again but stops after sometime if I stop pressing the door. I already open the door and checked all the wires and everything is connected. I also cleaned the area for clogging and anything stopping the close the door properly. Could it be door latch or something else need to be replaced?

Thanks

Vikas

Hi Mayer, Thanks for your reply. It's integrated whirlpool from Ikea. I can't see actual model details. It has service no. as 854586701001 and serial no. as 990740072630.

See if you still have the operators manual, iy will have the model number. I can't find the correct parts without it.

it sounds like the latch is not working like it should , when you close it the latch on the shell not the door is not pushing in the switch to turn it on , check it out ans it should have an adjustment , screws or a screw to adjust let me know

Thanks gadget1961, you were spot on. There was some misalignment between latch and the door tilt lock. I happened perhaps when the door spring-thread was broken (which I had replaced earlier). I opened everything and checked carefully and set it back and everything is working as normal :) . Thanks a ton to give new hope !!
