Dishwasher door is difficult to close or requires excessive force to latch.

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

• Check cabinet alignment: Ensure the dishwasher is square and level within the cabinet opening.
• Inspect latch hook: Examine the tub latch for bending or misalignment. Adjust or replace if necessary.
• Check hinge screws: Tighten any loose screws on the door hinges and mounting brackets.
• Test closure: Close the door slowly to see where it binds and adjust the position of the appliance or latch accordingly.
