It is normal for a dishwasher door without a kitchen door fitted not to remain open. It will be closed again by the springs on the hinges. If the dishwasher is integrated and no kitchen door is attached, it will not be possible to test the door.

Hi Peter Gumbrell - Often when the dishwasher door does not lock, it is because the of door lock assembly. The door lock or latch may either be faulty or damaged. If I was in your position, I would personally recommend consulting a professional to accurately diagnose the dishwasher to determine the root cause to reduce the risk of unnecessary parts.

Hello David Horn - The issue may lie with the door latch; a door switch is used to start and stop your dishwasher. It's a safety feature that won't allow water to flow with the door open. With a faulty door switch, there is a chance your dishwasher won't start at all. Dishwasher door switches are about an inch long. They are usually black but can be red. There are metal prongs on the body of the switch called terminals. Some door switches have two terminals and some have three. If your door switch is OK, check the timer assembly. This controls when and how long power is sent to other controls on your dishwasher. If these controls don't receive power, they won't work. The timer assembly contains a motor. Check this motor as well. It is often cheaper just to replace the timer motor rather than the complete assembly. My last suggestion is to check the cycle selector switches. These switches indicate cycles for washing, drying, and setting the temperature of the water. If one of your switches is the problem your dishwasher may also prevent the unit to start. Dishwasher cycle selector switches tell the timer which cycle to run by opening and closing electrical circuits. Most selector switches are six to eight inches long. They are usually black and have terminals. By testing each one of these parts with an ohmmeter you should be able to determine why your dishwasher is not working. It is possible for other parts to fail but these are the most common parts to check. If any proves to be ineffective, I strongly suggest contacting a professional to move forward accurately.

Contact a professional to replace the door switch or adjust it.

Read publication 5995509477 of Electrolux name factory Parts Catalog. You will see the POS NO 12 Part no 7154671401 name Latch Assembly, door w/shield. This relay stay open. a little bit of WD-40 and he working correctly.

I got a small flat head screwdriver and placed it between the door and the body of the dishwasher, I then got a bigger screwdriver and gently put it in the space created by the smaller driver and gently pushed down to release the door !!!

1. To cancel the delay.press the delay pad again when the delay is counting down. The indicator light will go out and the cycle will start or resume immediately.
2. To cancel the delay and the cycle, press Start/cancel once to drain and turn-off the dishwasher.
3. Press Start/cancel twice to turn-off the dishwasher without draining.
   

On each side of the dishwasher, near the ground, is a nylon cord and pulley apparatus that keeps the door from flopping down when opened. It probably needs some adjustment of the tension on the cord.

I rang Electrolux and have ordered a new switch....
