Dishlex DX203SX 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?

How to replace the bottom door seal on a Electrolux Dishlex dishwasher DX303WK

How to replace the bottom door seal on an Electrolux Dishlex dishwasher DX303WK.

To Note: Before you begin, make sure you have the correct door seal for your dishwasher model. Before beginning any repairs, switch off the dishwasher and unhook it from the power source.

Materials Needed:
  • New door seal compatible with Electrolux Dishlex DX303WK
  • Screwdriver
  • Pliers
  • Clean cloth
Step 1: Remove the Old Door Seal
  • Open the dishwasher door and locate the existing door seal around the bottom edge of the tub.
  • Gently peel back the old door seal from the edge of the tub. It should be secured with a rubber gasket or clips.
  • Use a screwdriver or pliers, if necessary, to remove any retaining clips or fasteners holding the old seal in place.
Step 2: Clean the Area
  • Once the old door seal is removed, clean the area around the edge of the tub thoroughly. Use a clean cloth to remove any dirt, debris, or residue.
Step 3: Install the New Door Seal
  • Take the new door seal and align it around the edge of the dishwasher tub, making sure it sits properly in place.
  • If your dishwasher has retaining clips or fasteners, use them to secure the new door seal in place. Alternatively, press the seal firmly to ensure it adheres to the tub securely.
Step 4: Test the Door
  • After installing the new door seal, close the dishwasher door gently.
  • Check for any obstructions or misalignment of the seal by running your fingers along the entire perimeter of the door. The seal should be evenly and securely in place.
Step 5: Reconnect and test the power.
Connect the dishwasher to the power source after ensuring that the new door seal is correctly placed.
Run a brief cycle or just check for leaks while the dishwasher is running normally.
If you run into any problems or difficulties throughout the replacement procedure, review the dishwasher's user manual or call Electrolux customer service for assistance. Additionally, if you are unsure about replacing the dishwasher yourself, consider hiring a professional dishwasher repair service.

Looking for manual for Vulcan Dishlex 500e dishwasher

Probably fatigued wiring from the chassis to the door where it bends every time you open and close the door. On my 500E, I took the sheet metal door skin off and found a couple of burned spots on the wires inside a clear plastic strain relief.

Dishlex Global 300 Dishwasher

Thomo, make sure the sprayer holes in the spray arms are clean. Grains of rice seem to be a dishwashers biggest enemy as they don't desolve and eventually end up lodged in the spray holes. The holes at the end of the spray arms are the ones responsible for the washing out of the soap powder from the dispenser, if they are blocked this does not happen.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Bought a house with a Dishlex Supreme Deluxe Dishwasher already installed. It's an older model 8574 and we have no manual. Is it possible to get one somewhere?

Hi,
Not sure if a manual would still be available but I can tell you that the Dishlex washer was made by Vulcan / Electrolux and was originally sold in Australia. You may want to check eBay Australia or some other online resources from down under! G’day mate!
