How to Remove the Door Hinges From a Whirlpool Dishwasher

If your door won't completely shut or open on your Whirlpool dishwasher, then you will be unable to run a cleaning cycle and you must quickly troubleshoot the problem. The door to your dishwasher is fully attached to the door hinges, and if the hinges become bent, they will need to be replaced. You can easily remove the door hinges at any time, but you must also fully remove the door from the unit in order to access the screws connecting the hinges to the dishwasher.
