Door catch, complete LF 3398050

A door catch holds the door of a professional dishwasher or glasswasher shut while the machine runs. It uses a spring-loaded latch that engages with a striker plate on the cabinet. When the operator pulls the door closed, the latch snaps over the striker and locks the door against the seal. This keeps water and steam inside the tank, preventing leaks and maintaining the pressure needed for high-temperature washing and rinsing cycles.

The sequence is simple: the operator loads the rack, closes the door until the catch clicks, and starts the programme. At the end of the cycle, the operator releases the catch by lifting or pressing the door handle, which retracts the latch from the striker plate and allows the door to swing open.

This LF door catch is constructed as a complete assembly. It includes the latch mechanism, mounting plate and any required fasteners. The materials are chosen for repeated use in a wet, high-temperature environment: corrosion-resistant metals for the latch and striker, and a durable housing that withstands the force of daily opening and closing.

The catch fits a wide range of professional dishwashers and glasswashers from HILTA, IME OMNIWASH, LUXIA and SILANOS. It is a direct replacement for the original part, ensuring the door seals properly and the machine operates as intended.

Cleaning is minimal: wipe the latch and striker with a damp cloth to remove detergent residue and prevent build-up that could interfere with the mechanism. Check the spring tension periodically to confirm the latch engages firmly and releases smoothly.
