My miele dishwasher handle is loose. What kind of tool do I need to tighten it?

Screwdriver turn the screws clockwise.

'make and model' in all questions please Alan.

Depends on the brand and type of handle. I'll give you a few general ideas. The first easy one is to look under both ends of the handle for small set screws. If you see them, a small allen wrench should tighten the set screws and the handle. The next type requires the removal of either the inner door panel or outer panel. Some dishwashers will have screws along the inner edge of the door panel. you remove the screws and either the inner panel will come loose or the outer panel will come off (depends on make and model) Once the door is apart you should be able to see the handle screws to tighten. Some doors also have a screw in both bottom corners facing upward that may need removed . Best I can do at this time.

there is not a manual for that kind of troubles,,,about the propeller is atached to the upper rack wout tools,,remove the plastic frame is in the lower of the upper rack and assembled backusing only your hands...theouter handle ...inside around the door have scrws remove thoes,you can see the loose srews of the handle,,

Hello,

You are correct on this style dishwasher the front panel will need to be removed in order to tighten the handle. Remove the screws around the edge of the door once off the panel will lift up and off.

There will be a bigger screw coming in from the back side, loosen and put a little lock tight on the threads and you will never have to take the dishwasher apart again, that trick works for me..

Have a good evening, I work at the link below to.

after removing the stainless cover l tried to disassemble the door further but found it difficult, there is a hard thick plastic cover, i took my dremel and cut a small hole large enough for a wrench to fit and tighten the thin nut on the handle, line up the hole with where the nut would be on the other side, its a pretty quick and easy fix, l dont understand why they didnt have the openings there throughthe plastic to do the tightening since it is the stainless steel that keeps the water where it should be.

Ok you need to use plastic or rubber washers against the glass so it doesn't break. To stop the handle comming loose again you need to put "Lock Tight" on the screw threads then tighten carefully only untill the handle isn't loose. You can get this from any good hardware store. cheers

Please give feedback

Take the inside panel off.  The 2 screws near the latch only need to be loosened.  Once the handle is off, you will find an allen bolt inside the shaft of the handle support.  Tighten and you are done.

Handle needs to be replaced part# 154537303 (blk). Un plug unit, take 4 screws from behind blk control panel out. Panel will fold down, remove two torx head screws from door latch, replace with new one and put it back together and your done.

removing the front panel is just meccano. the screws are probably torex - a driver is easily available from any tool shop
