Smeg Dishwasher Door Won’t Close
Are you trying to close the door on your SMEG dishwasher, and it just does not want to close?
Pretty frustrating, eh?
Not to worry; there are a few possible reasons why this might be happening.
The most common reasons for your SMEG dishwasher door not closing are utensils or other items blocking the door’s closure or problems with the door latch or seal.
Here are some troubleshooting tips to help you identify and fix the problem:
Check for Obstructions
Before you do anything else, check for any items or debris that may be preventing the SMEG dishwasher door from closing properly.
Take a look inside the SMEG dishwasher, check to see if any dishes, utensils, or other objects are blocking the door. If you do, remove the obstruction and try to shut the door again. If the door shuts, then great problem solved. If not move onto the next step.
Inspect the Door Latch
The door latch is a mechanism that keeps the SMEG dishwasher door securely closed during the wash cycle.
If the latch is damaged, worn out, or misaligned, it can prevent the door from closing correctly.
Check the latch to see if it’s dirty, corroded, or broken. If it is, you’ll need to replace it.
Check the Hinges
The hinges on the SMEG dishwasher door can become loose over time, causing the door to sag and not close properly.
Check the hinges to see if they’re tight and secure. If they’re loose, tighten the screws or replace the hinges if necessary.
Check the Door Seal
The door seal is a rubber gasket that runs around the perimeter of the SMEG dishwasher door. If the seal is dirty or damaged, it can prevent the door from closing properly.
Check the seal to see if it’s clean and in good condition. If it’s dirty, clean it with a mild detergent and warm water.
If it’s damaged, you’ll need to replace it.
Check the Dishwasher Level
Dishwasher leveling can change over time.
If the SMEG dishwasher is not level, it can cause the door to not close properly.
Use a spirit level to check if the dishwasher is level.
If it’s not, adjust the feet on the dishwasher until they are level.
