the lock on my dishwasher door is stuck and i can't open it. Any ideas how to get it open? I'm desparate!!!

Answer 1

Try pushing inwards on the door real hard while operating the latch.

Answer 2

How old are you? Are you mature enough to recognize the limitations and responsibilities that would ensue? What happens when the 'cute' baby becomes a very large and very strong adult with long, sharp claws. Do you have a home large enough? Do you have land? Or were you planning on putting this wild creature into a cage? Real nice. Would YOU like to live in a cage? Are you prepared FINANCIALLY? Do you have the money for the exotic vet visits? Remember, you will have to have a vet that specializes in exotic/wild animals. What if the racoon develops a real chronic health problem? Can you afford to properly care for it? It's their right by law, you know. If your circumstances are such that you can't properly care for the wild animal, it will be taken away from you -- and rightfully so. There are very valid reasons it is illegal to own a racoon. It is for the BENEFIT OF THE RACOON!! That is so they can have some semblance of a decent life -- not be someone's 'pet.'

DONT FOCUS ON THE LATCH IF YOU CAN LOOK OVER THE TOP OF THE DOOR YOU SHOULD SEE WHERE THE LATCH ACTUATES TRY TO MOVE IT WITH A SCREW DRIVER GENTLY OR DIRECTLY UNDER THE LATCH INSIDE OF THE DOOR. THE SCREWS TO OPEN THIS DOOR ARE PROBABLY ON THE INSIDE IF IT WONT OPEN YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE IT OPEN...

Answer 6

if you had the heat cycle on it wont open untill it gets cold inside, its a safety concern they dont want you to open door when its steaming hot, just like your self cleaning oven
