Possible Causes

Dishwasher not leveled, Cabinet opening too tight, Bent door hinges, Loose mounting brackets causing shift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the dishwasher is empty before adjusting its position.

  • 1. Check leveling: Use a level and adjust the front feet until the unit is square in the opening.
  • 2. Inspect side clearances: Ensure the tub is not pressing against the cabinet sides. Adjust position if necessary.
  • 3. Tighten mounting brackets: Secure the Haier dishwasher to the countertop or side cabinets to prevent shifting.
  • 4. Inspect hinges: Check for bent or damaged hinges and replace if necessary.
  • 5. Verify door operation: Open and close the door to confirm smooth movement without rubbing.

Warning: For integrated models, ensure the decorative panel is correctly aligned and not too heavy for the hinges.
