How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the appliance before adjusting its position.

  • Level the dishwasher: Adjust the front and rear feet so the appliance is level and not twisted.
  • Check side mounting: Ensure the dishwasher is correctly fixed to the cabinet sides or worktop without distorting the frame.
  • Inspect latch and strike: Check that the latch engages smoothly with the strike plate. Adjust the strike position if necessary.
  • Check for interference: Make sure the worktop or adjacent cabinets are not pressing on the door or control panel.
