Part 4055759668 is the genuine plastic door hook that engages the latch on a number of Westinghouse dishwashers.

The hook is also known by the number 42119852, which can help when matching it to an older parts list.

Westinghouse dishwasher door not latching or not starting

When you close the door, this hook catches in the latch assembly and holds the door shut against its seal. In most dishwashers it also lets the door switch close, which tells the controls the door is safe to start a cycle. A worn or snapped hook means the door may spring open, need to be slammed to stay shut, or close but leave the dishwasher refusing to start. Water around the base of the door can also point to a door that is not being pulled in tight.

Changing the door hook

Switch the dishwasher off at the wall before you start. Open the door and look at how the old hook is held in place, then remove it carefully without dropping screws into the tub. Fit the new hook in the same position, close the door gently and check that it clicks firmly into the latch. Run a rinse cycle to confirm the dishwasher starts and the door stays sealed.

Questions about this part

Is the hook the problem or the latch itself?

Look at the hook first. If it is cracked, worn flat or missing its tip, this part should fix it. If the hook looks fine but the door still will not catch or the machine will not start, the latch and door switch assembly may be at fault instead.
