Hi. Our dishwasher door seems to have slipped or something. When you pull it open it gets stuck after a few inches, and then you have to lift it up and then open. So I think there's something up with the hinge probably? Any idea how to go about trying to fix it - I've done Dr Google but I'm not finding this particular problem and don't want to make it worse! Its an integrated Electrolux ESL5310LO.
Thank you!
 
Check it is not scraping against the kickboard. If it is just about touching, the feet on the dishwasher could be raised by a nats...
 
I should add, the top of the kickboard could have become swollen by water from the dishwasher, especially if it has had the top trimmed off and no silicon applied (a problem I'm painfully aware of!).
 
Thanks! It seems to have resolved itself today which is really weird! It wasn't scraping the kickboard though so that's something...
 
Hinges are sometimes “lift out”, so if someone lifted as they open the door it could have partially lifted out the hinge, then dropped back in.
