Hi Don, as with most detergent drawers, once they will not latch it is best to replace them.Usually they have small plastic lugs that break off,when that happens get a new one.If you use only tablets like 3 in1 or 5 in 1 and you do not use the long cycle, you can just put the tablet in the cutlery basket,works just as well.All the best.
