    Hello all

    I have a Baumatic BDW45.1 integrated dishwasher. And I have a problem. I wondered if any of you have any advice.

    For some reason, the door won’t shut anymore. As much as I try, as hard as I push, the latch won’t click in, and as a result the door falls back and the dishwasher swings open.

    I’ve tried fiddling with the latch, but am scared about taking the whole thing apart.

    Is this a common problem? Is it likely to be with the latch? If so, would it be easy enough to replace, or is this sounding like an engineer jobbie?

    Thanks very much.

    If the dishwasher still runs but with the door open then chances are the door latch has sprung back into the closed position and that may be why it wont close. If you have something you can make a small hoop with like a piece of wire or an old wire coat hanger then push the hoop into the hole on the door where the stricker would go and it should go over the latch enough that when you pull the hoop out again it brings the latch back to the open position. (unplug the applliance first though 😉 )If no joy then the catch may be broken so best call someone out (repairs@ on on the menu top left)

    Hi

    Common problem..door hinges have failed normally caused by children standing / stepping or house holder leaning on the door whilst loading / emptying it whilst the door is open.
