Bosch Dishwasher door not opening/closing properly
If your Bosch dishwasher door is not closing properly, not opening smoothly, or rubbing when you try to shut it, start with the parts most likely to cause the problem. On this Bosch dishwasher door not closing page, the top suspects are the door hinge or hinge assembly, since a bent or damaged hinge can throw the door out of alignment and keep it from latching. Next, check the door strike, which can wear or break and prevent the latch from catching. If the strike looks good, inspect the door latch for damage. A Bosch dishwasher door hinge problem is common, but door fit can also be affected by installation. If the leveling legs are adjusted too high, the door may hit the cabinet, countertop, or mounting screws, making the dishwasher door not opening or closing the way it should. A damaged or misadjusted leveling leg can do the same thing. Carefully inspect each part for bending, cracking, or obvious wear, and replace any failed component rather than trying to repair it. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Bosch door hinge, door latch, door strike, or leveling leg that fits your dishwasher.
