As if computers/techy stuff isn’t enough to keep my grey cells healthy…. our dishwasher door is stuck closed! It’s a built in Ariston model LSV66. I wanted to take off the control panel but I can’t get to the screws as they are hidden by the wood cover…..
Ahh take off the wood cover you say….. yep could do that, except the door has to be open to get to the attachments.
My mum’s Hotpoint FDW30P dishwasher suffered a similar fault; the door latch was suddenly stiff to open. She pulled it forcefully, and the small latch-spring snapped (cheap metal!). A new latch (complete) costs around £9 odd (from Hotpoint).
