How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting the appliance position.
- 1. Check alignment: Verify that the dishwasher is centered in the opening and not twisted. Adjust leveling legs as needed.
- 2. Inspect cabinet trim: Look for cabinet edges or countertop overhangs rubbing the door. Trim or adjust as necessary.
- 3. Tighten mounting brackets: Ensure top or side mounting brackets are secure and not pulling the tub out of square.
- 4. Inspect hinges: Check for bent hinges and replace if damaged.
Proper alignment prevents leaks and ensures the door latch engages correctly.
