A latch assembly for a dishwasher which enables one step initiation of dishwasher operations is described. The latch assembly also provides that the dishwasher does not operate when the dishwasher door is, or can be, opened. In one embodiment, the latch assembly is configured for use in connection with a dishwasher including a door, a tub, and a keeper secured to the tub. The keeper includes a catch and a lock release projection. The latch assembly includes a handle and at least one switch. The handle includes a latch and has a closed position and an open position. The latch is configured to engage the keeper catch when the door is closed and to disengage from the keeper catch when the handle is in the open position. The latch assembly further includes a switch actuator configured to actuate the switch so that the switch is in a conducting state when the door is substantially closed and so that the switch is in a non-conducting state when the handle is substantially in the open position. The switch is electrically connected to other components of the dishwasher so that dishwasher operations are prevented when the switch is in the non-conducting state and so that dishwasher operations are enabled when the switch is in a conducting state.

Loquet pour lave-vaisselle permettant de mettre celui-ci en marche en une seule étape. Il a aussi pour but d'empêcher le lave-vaisselle de fonctionner si la porte de l'appareil est ou peut être ouverte. Dans une application, le loquet est conçu pour être monté sur un lave-vaisselle comprenant une porte, une cuve et un cliquet de sûreté fixé à la cuve. Le cliquet comprend un crochet et un élément de déverrouillage. Le loquet comprend une poignée et au moins un interrupteur. La poignée comporte un loquet et peut être placée en position ouverte ou fermée. Le loquet est conçu de manière à engager le cliquet de sûreté lorsque la porte est fermée et à le désengager lorsque la poignée est en position ouverte. Le loquet comprend aussi un actionneur qui met l'interrupteur en mode de conduction lorsque la porte est essentiellement fermée et qui le met en mode de non-conduction lorsque la poignée est essentiellement ouverte. Il existe une connexion électrique entre l'interrupteur et d'autres composants du lave-vaisselle, de sorte que celui-ci ne peut pas fonctionner lorsque l'interrupteur est en mode de non-conduction et qu'il le peut lorsque l'interrupteur est en mode de conduction.
