How to remove the door from a dishwasher

Most often, during repairs, it is necessary to remove the door from the dishwasher. The masters know perfectly well how this can be done, because they repeat this procedure several times every day. However, it is problematic for an ordinary person, without the proper experience and information, to do this. On the Internet, most often, only the dismantling of the facade is described, but not how to remove the door from a dishwasher. To fix this, we have written detailed instructions for you.

Disassembly and dismantling of the PMM door

No matter how much you would like to save time, you won’t be able to remove the door from the machine yourself without partially disassembling the device. This is due to the fact that the front part will interfere, which must be removed first. In addition, there is a control module inside the device door, which must not be damaged under any circumstances when dismantling the door. To ensure everything goes smoothly, follow the instructions carefully.

First of all, remove the decorative panel. It is easy to remove, since, most often, it is held in place only by special guides and latches. Occasionally, the panel may be held on by self-tapping screws - then they will have to be unscrewed.
Now open the door and unscrew all the screws from the inside that are required to dismantle the control panel and board.
Disconnect the wire and very carefully remove the top panel. After this, remove the controller. To remove the module, you must remove all wiring chips.

Be sure to take pictures of all important connections before disassembling to make it easier to reconnect everything.

This item is for owners of Bosh, Ariston, Indesit and Siemens dishwashers. If the device has a drying system, it must also be carefully disassembled.
At this stage, the machine door must be unscrewed from the bracket, and all wiring must be disconnected.
Disconnect the air duct, then carefully remove the detergent dispenser.
Now we proceed to dismantling the door itself. Pull the spring up and remove the hook from the hole to remove the part.
Finish line - unscrew the screws holding the door on its hinges, pull the door up and remove it.

To install the door in place, assembly must be done according to the same instructions, but in reverse order. Carefully connect the wires to the control module board, check your photos if you forgot something. There should be no errors at this stage.

Problems with disassembling and removing the door

From the outside it may seem that the door built into the PMM has a simple structure, but in fact it is more like a multi-layer Napoleon cake. It consists of a series of panels, wires, a high-tech control board, hinges, springs, screws and many other small parts.

The most difficult thing is not to remove the door from the dishwasher with your own hands, but to correctly disconnect all the electronic parts, and then connect them back correctly. Also, a problem with assembly may arise if you accidentally lose some small elements. Features of removing the PMM door

To prevent this from happening, first prepare a good place for dismantling and reassembling the door. It is advisable that it be a spacious room with good light, where you can lay out boxes for all the small parts on the floor. Also, be sure to take with you a mobile device with a good camera to record in detail each stage of disassembling the PMM. Carefully take photographs of the wire arrangement so that you can connect them correctly afterwards.

When disassembling the door, do not rush. The control board and wires in the door are very fragile. Equipment manufacturers often use thin conductors that are very easy to damage, which is done solely to save on production. As for the control board, it is secured with particularly fragile plastic latches that are extremely easy to break. Therefore, you should always disassemble the dishwasher door slowly and carefully.
