Steve D for Model Number KUDS25SHBL1

I closed the door and ran the dishwasher, it worked fine but now the handle won't engage to open the door. How do I get it open to replace with a new handle assembly?

Answer

Steve,

The only way to get the door open will be to try and lift the door to get the latch to release. Grab the door by either side and lift then pull out.
