Door is hard to close or pops open during operation

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

• 1. Inspect hinges: Check for bent or loose hinges. Tighten hinge screws and adjust door position if possible.
• 2. Align latch and strike: Adjust the door strike so it engages the latch squarely when closed.
• 3. Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for bulges or warping that could prevent proper closure. Replace if damaged.
• 4. Verify cabinet alignment: Ensure the dishwasher is level and not twisted in the opening, which can distort the door frame.
