How to Remove the Door From a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher

If you have a problem shutting the door on your Kenmore Elite dishwasher, you may need to inspect the door to see if there is any damage on it. The best way to troubleshoot any problems with the dishwasher door or parts on the door, such as the detergent dispenser, is to remove the door fully from the dishwasher unit. Once the door is off the appliance, you can clean it thoroughly, if necessary, or determine if the part needs to be replaced.
