Dishwasher door is hard to close or misaligned with adjacent cabinets

Safety first: Do not force the door closed; this can damage the latch.

• Level the unit: Adjust the feet so the dishwasher is square in the opening.
• Check hinge screws: Tighten any loose screws on the hinges and mounting brackets.
• Integrated panel adjustment: On built-in models, adjust the decorative door panel according to the installation instructions so it does not interfere with adjacent cabinets.
• Inspect hinges: If visibly bent or damaged, replace the hinge set.
