The door release bar on our KitchenAid KUDV24SE is hanging loose and so the door won't open. According to the installation booklet, the dishwasher should be attached to the floor or countertop to prevent it falling over when the door is opened, so I can't pull it away from the counter for better access. How do I open the door from the front? Thanks.

1-confirm power make sure breaker is not tripped or fuse is good and no tripped GFI's (no power obviously it won't work) 2-confirm water is on (the timer has a delay that it powers down during it's wait for the unit to fill with water 3-make sure the door is fully closed and latched properly (the door has a safety interlock to prevent the dishwasher from operating while the door is open -- think water sprayed everywhere) 4- beyond this if it is a new install and has never worked call your installer back

During normal operation the outlet hose should be higher than the outlet nozzle, if the water drains when youremove the hose it means that the pump is not working, open the bottom of the machine and remove the inlet side pump hose and check for any obstruction, clean and replace the hose. If this does not work you need to replace the pump.

I think you want to disable the childlock key. I think all you need to do is press the child lock key for 5-6 secs .That should disable the child lock.

ReplACE the lower door seal.

sometimes the mounting screws will work loose and not allow the door to shut.Open the door now look where the top of the door hits and see if the two mounting screws have worked loose and hanging down re-tighten

did anyone have a solution? i have the same problem.

are you the person i sent the manuel too

sounds like a faulty door switch not sensing that the door is shut. test the switches for continuity to determine the faulty switch

Misaligned door. To much weight on door. Someone, maybe a child, hanging on door when opened.
