Dishwasher door is hard to close or pops open during the cycle.

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the latch.

• Check alignment: Verify that the Sharp dishwasher is level and not twisted in the opening.
• Adjust strike plate: Loosen the screws on the latch strike and adjust its position so the latch engages smoothly.
• Inspect latch: If the latch is worn or cracked, replace the door lock assembly.
• Check surrounding cabinets: Ensure no cabinet trim or handle is interfering with the door.
