Haier Dishwasher door not opening/closing properly
If your Haier dishwasher door not closing or opening properly is getting harder to latch, rubbing the cabinet, or popping back open, the most likely problem is a damaged door hinge. Bent or broken door hinges can throw the whole door out of alignment and keep it from shutting the way it should. Next, check the door strike, since a cracked or worn strike can keep the latch from catching. Another common cause is the dishwasher sitting too high. If the leveling legs are adjusted too high, the door can rub the countertop or mounting screws, making the dishwasher door not closing properly or hard to open. After that, inspect the door latch for damage, because a broken latch will also prevent the door from sealing and catching correctly. In some cases, a damaged leveling leg can leave the unit unbalanced enough to affect door movement.
