How to Repair a Loose Handle on a Bosch Dishwasher SHX33A

Over time the handle on your Bosch dishwasher SHX33A may work loose. This is because the screws securing the door handle and the screw threads inside the door handle expand and contract with the heat from the dishwasher. Opening the door just after the dishwasher finishes the cycle may cause the screw to slip out of the handle threads slowly. Repairing a loose handle on a Bosch dishwasher SHX33A requires some disassembly of the dishwasher door.
