Dishwasher door is difficult to close or does not latch properly.

Safety: Turn off power before adjusting the door or latch.

• Check for obstructions: Ensure racks are fully pushed in and no large dishes interfere with the door.
• Inspect gasket: Check the door seal for bulges or mis-seating that could prevent closure.
• Adjust strike plate: Slightly loosen the screws on the latch strike and adjust its position so the latch engages smoothly, then retighten.
• Level and square the unit: Make sure the dishwasher is level and square in the cabinet opening to prevent door twist.
