It could be an interlock that prevents the machine from sending water all over your kitchen by checking the latch. If the switch is bad, it might be stuck in the off position, as that would be the safest way to have it designed.

Could be, but I find it strange that the machine then starts in the first place. Like, in the washers I know the door switch is (simply put) the second thing in the line with the first being the Power On/off switch.

So the machine shouldnt even drain/fill/heat if the latch was at fault. Which also makes sense because it prevents the kind of energy waste OP is experiencing.
