Overloaded Lower Basket

Tall items in the lower basket can prevent the door from closing fully. Rearrange and try again before calling an engineer.

Door Latch Worn or Broken

The plastic or metal door latch wears over time. If the door feels loose or does not click shut, the latch needs replacing. Cost: £60–£100.

Door Hinge Fault

Damaged or worn door hinges cause the door to drop or misalign, preventing proper closure. Replacement: £80–£140.

Door Spring Failure

Most dishwasher doors are balanced by springs. If a spring breaks, the door will fall open or not stay in position. Spring replacement: £65–£110.
