Why Won't My Dishwasher Door Close?
First check that a rack, cutlery basket or tall utensil is not stopping the door. If nothing is in the way, the latch may be worn or broken, or the door may sit crooked because the machine is not level. A door that drops open or slams has broken hinge springs or cables, which is common on older dishwashers and on integrated models with a heavy furniture door.
Our dishwasher repairs technicians replace latches, hinges and springs and level the machine on Bosch, Siemens, Samsung, Defy, Hisense and other brands. Book a repair and avoid forcing the door shut.

When to stop using the appliance
Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the heater, motor, pump and anything behind a cover to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.
What Can You Safely Check First?
Push both racks fully in and check nothing sticks out. Look at the latch for broken plastic. Check the machine is level with a spirit level on the door frame.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dishwasher Door Not Closing
Why will my dishwasher door not close?
Something on the racks may be in the way, or the latch is worn. If the door drops or will not sit straight, the hinge springs or the level of the machine need attention.
Why does my dishwasher door fall open?
The hinge springs or cables have broken or stretched. Replacing them on both sides restores a smooth, balanced door.
Can a dishwasher door latch be replaced?
Yes. The latch and its switch are a single replaceable part on most models, and it is an affordable repair.
How much does it cost to fix a dishwasher door?
Latches and hinge springs are among the more affordable dishwasher repairs. We diagnose first and quote before any work starts.
