Dishwasher - Door is Not Aligned

If your dishwasher door is not aligned or appears to be crooked, it may be because the door has come off one of its hinges. A misaligned door can cause leaking from around the door. To verify, open the door slightly and check both hinges.

 

To correct:

1. Open the door slightly to about a 15 degree angle from the tub.

2. Lift the door and move it back onto both hinges.

3. When the door properly seats into place, you will hear a loud click. The door should now open and close freely.

4. If the door is not opening and closing smoothly, repeat these steps.

 

If the dishwasher body is crooked, it may not be leveled properly. For instructions on leveling the dishwasher, view: Dishwasher - Adjusting Leveling Legs.

 

If this does not help to fix the issue, service may be needed. For service, please schedule an appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service.
