Door is difficult to close or does not latch properly; may require extra force.

Safety: Turn off power before adjusting hinges or latch.

• Check for obstructions: Inspect the door gasket and tub edges for debris or warped plastic. Clean and straighten if possible.
• Align appliance: Level the dishwasher and adjust its position so the door is square with the cabinet front.
• Inspect latch and strike: Check the metal strike on the cabinet and the latch in the door for bending or wear. Adjust or replace as needed.
• Decor panel: If a wooden panel is fitted, ensure it has not swollen and is not fouling adjacent cabinets.
