Jenn Air Dishwasher door not opening/closing properly
If your Jenn Air dishwasher door not closing or opening properly is rubbing, hanging up, or refusing to line up, the most likely problem is a damaged door hinge. Bent or broken door hinges can throw the whole door out of position and keep it from shutting correctly. Next, check the door strike, since a worn or broken strike can keep the latch from engaging. If those parts look okay, inspect the leveling legs. When the dishwasher sits too high, the door can hit the cabinet or mounting screws, which is a common cause of a Jenn Air dishwasher door rubbing or a dishwasher door not closing cleanly. After that, look at the door latch itself, since a broken latch will also prevent proper opening and closing. In some cases, a damaged leveling leg can leave the unit unbalanced and cause the same symptom. RepairClinic.com makes it easier to track down the cause and get the exact replacement part, whether you need a Jenn Air door hinge, door strike, door latch, or leveling leg.
