Likely Causes

  2. Latch mechanism is worn or broken and will not engage the strike
  3. Drawer slides are bent or dirty, preventing the drawer from closing completely
  4. Latch switch has failed electrically and does not report the latched state
How to Fix It
1
Push the drawer firmly closed and verify it latches with a solid click
2
If the drawer does not close fully, check the drawer slides for debris, food particles, or damage that may be obstructing the travel
3
Clean the drawer slides with a damp cloth and ensure they move smoothly without binding
4
Inspect the latch mechanism at the front of the drawer for broken tabs or worn engagement surfaces
5
