Dishwasher door wont close

This model dishwasher was already in the house that im renting. Seemed to be no more than two to three years old and in excellent condition,until tonight,when the washing cycle finished i went to open the door and it wouldnt open. It was so hard to open, it wouldnt unlock. Usually when a cycle is finished it is easy to open but not this time. My husband reset the control panel and managed to get the door open. But now it wont shut. The door wont click in. This is the first time this has happened since we have lived in this house. Never had a problem been working so good up until now. We treat the dishwasher with great care. Can someone please tell me why the door wont close and how come it was so hard to open after the cycle finished?

You did not giver manufacturer, model and year, it is not possible therefore to give detailed info what to do - for future references - do provide these "little" details, telepathy is overrated and usually do not work...

from your description can be several causes of that, one of them is motherboard fault, another will be actuator and third can be mechanical fault within lock or with hinge... make your pick...

Testimonial: "Thanks for your abrupt response...I did put down the manufacturer and model in the section that said, What product are you asking for??? But it never showed when it generated all my answers onto the main page and I didn't know how to change it. This is my first time using this website so i will keep your response about manufacturer etc future reference."

The start light is flashing on my GE dishwasher?

What's the model number? How old is this dishwasher? The new GE dishwashers (less than 3 years old) have a weakness in the door switch/latch assembly, and that would cause the light to flash - it wants you to press Start and close the door, but it's not recognizing that the door is closed.

Brada dishwasher ef2401 wont start wash cycle

If it's under warranty, get someone to look at it. Probably a bad switch or sensor in the unit, could be something simple, and they're not hard to open up, but the soap dispenser mechanism has to be reassembled (it often falls apart upon taking the door apart). Last resort is the appliance serviceman. New house? New dishwasher? Warranty? That's your best option.

I have model # FDB431LFCO My house is 2 years old.

Door switch The door switch is important because, if it's defective, the dishwasher won't work at all. To reach it, you need to remove the control panel cover, or sometimes the interior liner of the door. If it's defective, you need to completely replace it.

Hi Lisa in AR

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.

Your question is: Why won't your soap dispense anymore?

Yes, you're correct. This is best looked at by a local pro! You may want to compare the cost of repairing a six year old dishwasher now verses temporarily putting the soap in manually till you can find a good price on a new one. Personally, I loath throwing good money after bad so I go for the latter and we're coming up on the holiday discount season.

16 year old whirlpool dishwasher model no. DU8950XY-0

Sounds like it is a bad door seal. Recommend replacing the door seal and making sure the door is shutting square and not bent.
