Dishwasher door will not close properly

Hi guys, Our Neff dishwasher is just out of warranty and the door is not closing properly. We have not fitted the child lock and it was working fine in the last cycle so i cannot understand why this is happening. Its just not clicking in to place. They want to charge a lot of money to send someone out but im sure there must be a reasonably easy fix for this.

Usually d/w doors are fine for long time.
1. check if anything blocks it to close securely e.g. the cutlery basket or the dish racks not fully sliding in or may be off track/chanel.
2. try running a cycle empty and see if it closes after doing #1.

SOURCE: adjusting the door on a neff dishwasher

I have the same problem with my newly installed Miele integrated dishwasher. The door does not stay open when you are trying to load dishes. I heard that there is an adjustable internal mechanism to adjust the tension on the door. But, I am still working on solving my problem.

Deactivate childlock on fully integrated neff dishwasher

If door won't close and you don't have a child-lock, just push the door closed a lot harder than you normally would - NEFF manual says to do that, and it worked for me! I think it just forces it to engage and 'releases' the catch, as after that it closed with just normal pressure applied.

Door Open but latch in closed position - HELP!

You need to operate the door release handle at the same time as applying pressure to the latch you can see just inside the door (imagine which way it would move if the thing was working as designed), the tech has possibly simulated a door closed position for testing purposes.

Neff dishwasher door problem.

The latch on many dishwashers is adjustable. If your door is easy to close but difficult to latch, adjust the latch to let the door close more easily. If you can't see any way to adjust the latch, yours may be fixed in a certain position. Check for other reasons for the latching problem.

Brada ef2401 door won't close

We actually had the same problem with our Brada dishwasher. There is a plastic clip inside the door that latches on to the dishwasher to keep the door closed. In our case this clip had flipped inside the door (periodically continues to happen to this day). To resolve we took the door apart - carefully - and flipped the clip back into proper position. You can only do this if the dishwasher is not under warranty as once you take it apart you will likely void the warranty on it.
