How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the door or hinges.

  • Check leveling: Ensure the Fagor dishwasher is level and not twisted in the opening.
  • Inspect latch striker: Adjust or gently bend the metal striker on the cabinet so it aligns correctly with the door lock.
  • Door seal: Check the gasket for bulges or mis-seated sections and refit if necessary.
  • Secure unit: Tighten mounting screws to the countertop or side cabinets to prevent movement when the door is closed.
