Electrolux Dishwasher door not opening/closing properly
If your Electrolux dishwasher door is not closing, not opening, or rubbing when you try to use it, the problem is usually mechanical and often easy to track down. The most likely cause is a damaged door hinge or hinge assembly, since a bent or broken hinge can throw the door out of alignment and keep it from moving or latching properly. Next, check the door strike, which can prevent the latch from catching if it is cracked or worn. Another common cause is the dishwasher sitting too high in the cabinet. If the leveling legs are adjusted too high, the door may hit the countertop or mounting screws, causing an Electrolux dishwasher door hinge problem that feels like the dishwasher door not closing properly. After that, inspect the door latch for damage, since a broken latch will also keep the door from shutting as it should. In some cases, a damaged leveling leg can leave the machine unbalanced and affect door movement.
