My Dishwasher door will not stay closed

Normally it’s something simple that causing the problem.

This problem is normally caused by a fault in one of three items (a) Door Catch (b) Door Spring (c) Door Hinge

(a) The Door Catch on many dishwashers is adjustable. If your Dishwasher Door is easy to close but will not stay closed, adjust the Door Catch to allow the door to stay closed more easily. If you can't adjust the Door Catch, yours may not be adjustable. If the Door Catch is worn, you may need to replace the Door Catch. If this doesn’t sort it, check the Door Hinge or Door Spring to see if they’re in line.

(b) Your dishwasher has a Door Spring attached to the Door Hinge at either side to counterbalance the weight of the Dishwasher Door. If either or both of these are broken, the door feels quite heavy, will drop quickly, you’ll need to replace both Door Springs.

(c) The Door Hinges are important to keeping the door closing properly. If they're bent or warped, you probably need to replace them. If they are bent, it’s very difficult to straighten them sufficiently in order for them to work properly. We recommend you replace both Door Hinges.

Door seal - If your dishwasher is new - or if you have just replaced a door seal - the door may be difficult to keep closed for a week or two. If the tightness persists, try adjusting the Door Catch, if it's adjustable. If it's not adjustable, there's probably nothing you can do immediately. Try setting the dishwasher on the hottest cycle to help the seal to adjust to the shape of the Dishwasher Door. The Door Seal should compress over time.
