Jenn-Air Dishwasher Handle Loose




By kinger77 on Oct 11, 2008

" "
The left side of the stainless steal handle is very loose and I don't see any where I can tighten a screw. I took out the screws on the inside of the dishwasher door. It looked like I couldn't get at the screw from the inside. Any ideas?

-   We also have the same problem - left side of the door and we've taken the screws out on the inside stainless steel interior thinking that would be the access point. It's not. So don't try it. We're calling Jenn Air in the morning. Please take a moment to comment if you are experiencing the same thing - Jenn Air hates publicity like this.

-   I usually dont respond to these, but, I have the exact same problem, on the left side. Ive tried everything, except taking the whole door apart!

-   I have the exact same model with the same problem on the left side of the dishwasher handle. I'm wondering if this is a manufacturer's defect. Mine also became loose in October of 2008. There is nothing in the owners manual to indicate how to get to the handle and the inside panel will not allow access to the screws even after you loosen it from the front stainless panel. I will let my builder know of this issue so that he can avoid all Jenn-Air appliances in future homes. -   scrapper1965

This worked perfectly for me. Follow the link that shows you which two screws to take out. It is one screw on each side of the inside door frame. One on the left and one on the right (not the top one, but the second one down). Then pull the door handle upward about 2 inches and the whole washer face comes up. Jiggle it off and tighten the handle. Only tricky thing is that you need a star screwdriver.

The problem I had in the beginning was that I took off the middle screws on top (cause that's what it looks like in the picture), but it's actually the side screws. Don't take them all off - just the two you need.
