How to Remove the Door from a Kenmore Dishwasher

Shut down the power to the dishwasher at the main circuit.

Open up the dishwasher door to the widest position.

Remove the installation brackets that hold the dishwasher in place using a screwdriver. These brackets are located above the door and below the counter. Most Kenmore dishwasher installations will have two brackets.

Pull the dishwasher slowly out of the installation place. Have an assistant help you if this is a large Kenmore model. You only need to pull it out enough to get at the door hinges on the side.

Remove the springs. Lift the door up to about the halfway position to release the tension on the springs. Use a pair of pliers to pull up one the end of the spring where it is connected to the dishwasher frame. Do this for each side.

Unscrew the door hinges located at the bottom of the dishwasher frame with a socket wrench.

Gently pull the door out of the dishwasher casing.
