K T Graham , TX September 13, 2015 Door wouldn't stay shut on dishwasher With a family of 5 we use our dishwasher a lot. After 5 years use we were having to slam the door too hard to shut it. A new actuator and fifteen minutes delayed the search for a new dishwasher. It was simple to replace. 10 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
