Possible Causes
Dishwasher not square in opening, Cabinet rails pressing on tub, Warped door panel, Loose hinge screws
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting installation.
- Check leveling: Verify the unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back. Adjust legs as needed.
- Inspect side clearances: Ensure the tub is not pressed tightly against the cabinet sides. Center the dishwasher in the opening.
- Tighten hinges: Check hinge mounting screws and tighten if loose.
- Adjust mounting brackets: Loosen and reposition top or side brackets so they do not twist the tub frame.
