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:
-
Open the door slightly to about a 15 degree angle from the tub.
-
Lift the door and move it back onto both hinges.
-
When the door properly seats into place, you will hear a loud click. The door should now open and close freely.
-
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.
